Everyone is tired of the snow.

I had this thought the other day. It’s not snow that people are fed up with. I think everyone is tired of wearing the same winter clothing, mopping their wet floors, de-icing their cars, and shovelling their driveway. It’s the inconvenience of having to cancel and reschedule plans and meetings, finding activities to do with the kids inside the house, or having to go to work when all you really want to do is lounge by a fire, or catch up on the project you’ve been meaning to get to. It’s not really “snow” that people are fed up with. It’s the season.

Patrick and I spent our first Thanksgiving with our cousins, the Byrds, up in Sykesville, Maryland.
