I will admit that I get sad thinking about winter being right around the corner BUT once winter is here it really doesn't bother me... until maybe April if it's still hanging on.
Winter is a time of solitude. It reminds me of Superman's hideout, it gives you space to think and contemplate.
When we want companionship we just open a door and our families are there for us just like Timmothy's cartoon above.
I credit the well know friendliness of North Dakota to our long winters. Come Spring we are all joyful to see others out and about. Of course life goes on as usual so we visit at church, at the bar (if you like), and at our occupations if we work outside of our homes. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter gives us as much family contact as most of us want for a while.
All that being said we are enjoying above average weather today and that is predicted to continue through the first week of November.
