Winter Ramblings
I am winter-driving challenged and look forward to the return of good weather roads. Mid-January I always comfort myself with a quote from my childhood. I grew up in a rural area, and at this time of year the men would sometimes talk about a respected old neighbour who was often hard-pressed to keep his stock fed through the winter. He was also an optimist and would say: “January is half gone, February is a short month, and there’s a bit of picking (his cattle could be out in the pasture) in March. Winter is almost over; we’ll be fine.”
