I have surprised myself and have admitted that I really enjoy the snowy winters here in Nova Scotia.
But once the thaw sets in - well that's a whole different thing. Everything takes on the sad bedraggled look, and cars become the same shade of brown regardless of what colour they were when they were new. The unpaved roads - there are a few - become challenging and slippers just inside the door are a must, unless you really enjoy washing floors!
But all of this is the transition of winter to spring and all will become wonderful again as the grass greens up and my spring bulbs flower & smile at everyone. I hope this is where we are at! Looking at my journals over the past 2 years we have had snow in March. Maybe what we are experiencing at the moment is a reminder that spring will come!
While I enjoy all this I still struggle with my arthritis and gradually over the past month or so my right hip has become an aggravation. I worries me, being in the business so to speak, that this may be the rot setting in and how long that rot has to be before it can be fixed. I'm trying to ignore it as best I can, but driving is one of the worst irritants to the hip. Phil got me a steering wheel cover which helps with the hands as it makes the wheel that much thicker to hold - and warmer, but I don't think there is such a beast for the hip! I just carry on & stop when it gets too much.
