Garden of Daisies

Blanketed in snow but still excited to leave

February 6th, 2007

Winter is finally here in all of its beautiful glory. I hate the short days, and I’m expectantly waiting for March I’ll admit–but the only thing worse than the short days this winter has been that they have been short, grey/green/brown days.

This last week the snow has finally arrived, and the Canadian in me rejoices to look outside and see the sun dancing on the myriad of snowflakes and ice. The Canadian in me doesn’t even mind that lately the sun has been hiding alot because it has meant that I can watch snowflakes floating and blowing in every direction on their way down to coat the ground (much more interesting than watching my professor at the front of the classroom).

Usually I would be nothing but excited to be going somewhere a bit warmer for two weeks, but I have to admit that a tiny bit of my heart is broken to know that during a winter this short I’ll be spending two of the only snow-filled weeks somewhere else (not to mention somewhere that is destined to be grey/green/brown).

…that being said I’m getting extremely excited. 8 days and I’m on a plane. …it’s been too long. Ireland here I come!
