emergent journey

Winter has finally arrived here in Calgary. We always know that it will eventually come sometime around now, but we are never quite sure when it will arrive. Like a thief in the night. A frozen thief that leaves a huge dump of wet heavy snow that takes hours to scoop up so I can get my car out of the drive way.

Last night as I was driving Noah home from swimming lessons the radio hosts on the CBC were talking about the coming snow storm but deep down I didn’t believe them. The high yesterday was 9′C. How could there be a snow storm when it is so nice out. I was wearing flip flops and a light sweatshirt. No gloves. No winter jacket. No toque.

I guess the snow is beautiful and I should be thankful I live in such an amazing place where I can actually see the changing of the seasons. I just wish I had a heated driveway so I didn’t have to shovel or flame tires that melted the snow and ice on the highway. Regardless, I will have to put up with it for the next few months until Spring comes once again.

So winter…I accept thee.
