Eternal February

"February... seemed to be lasting for ever, with its chilly, blustery winds and violent storms. ...but the bad weather led to a certain cosy intimacy among those who were, for whatever reason, fixed in town." - excerpt from Mr. Darcy's Daughters

This was the view from my window all day yesterday. As much as I am tired of the cold weather, the ice, and yes, even the snow, I know this is where I am supposed to be right now. So I keep wearing thick sweaters, drinking hot tea, and keeping my dear Indiana friends close by. I depend on their love and company, and I hang on the hope that this winter will not be forever.
