Wintery Skies

For most of my life, I've believed that snow is an abomination of nature, a seasonal disturbance which exists for the sole purpose of making our lives miserable with freezing temperatures and chapped, bleeding hands.

However, today...I...actually...like it. This area is a sight to behold. We were taking a tour through the grounds and the shipyard around 10:30am, when suddenly, white flakes started coming down, faster and faster. I looked over at the river and it took my breath away. The semi-frozen water had a silvery tinge to it, and a grey mist mixed with snow rose above it.

I also love how I have a window next to my desk. As I read or write on the computer, I can look outside and see our backyard and several trees, (along with a parking lot, but we won't discuss that). Since my room faces the east, the sun rises and warms up my room during the morning all through the afternoon. Today, there is no sun, but I still like the grey-ness of it all. Usually I find this type of weather and lighting oppressive, but today, I find a bit of freedom in it. When you are living next to a river or a sea, I think all you really can feel is the sense of liberation as you look across the wide, yawning expanse of water.

This is incredibly random, but I just figured out my address...so here it is! You can now send me letters! I love mail, and will happily send you a postcard or letter in return.
