My dread of winter is actually not quite as bad as it has been sometimes in the past, when involving more early mornings and to-do-lists. (As long as I am free to adjust my activities according to the weather, I worry less about it.)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-56528017161019106562018-02-22T10:57:58.226+01:002018-02-22T10:57:58.226+01:00Thanks Ginny.

Your Mum was talented with the pen, and I think you two look so nice (and stylish!) together in the snow.<br />Like you, I wonder about our perception of time, how the exact same event (like your Mum's death, or my husband's - also nearly 9 years ago) can seem so long, long ago and yet feel so recent at the same time (!).<br />I was born in spring, and I do love spring. But I love summer and autumn, too, and winter has lost much of its dread since I've begun to spend many weekends in the beautiful countryside where O.K. lives.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-41262488471100733732018-02-21T17:35:27.756+01:002018-02-21T17:35:27.756+01:00Oh Monica, what a wonderful post today!!

Your mom looks like she was so fun loving and young at heart! Your memories of when she raised you must be wonderful! The pictures are just priceless, especially of the "ice skating". I am not at the point yet where I can look at my mom's pictures without my stomach turning over. She was a lovely artist! Such soft and beautiful strokes;I could never draw. And you look so cute, like a little elf with that pointed hood!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-64427019714163673712018-02-21T14:58:28.660+01:002018-02-21T14:58:28.660+01:00Lovely memories, I'm a spring person myself.Lovely memories, I'm a spring person myself.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-44928750655251416312018-02-21T14:39:42.993+01:002018-02-21T14:39:42.993+01:00i love your page of memories. and i would be with ...i love your page of memories. and i would be with you , not sliding on the ice. what a precious memory. you may be right, i dislike cold weather and i was born in Sept. mother was born in sept and loved both cold and hot. so maybe not.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.com
