As I reflect our summer with sanding and painting
projects, I realize that we have merely exchanged our summer tools for winter
tools. Away go the paint, brushes and sprayer and out come the snow shovels,
scrapers and rock salt. It’s just a change of season. We are prepared afterall.
We are prepared with our parkas, hats, gloves, boots and
scarves for full assault on the elements at hand. A momentary conflict passes
as we pause to admire the beauty, camera in hand for a quick shot of nature as
we march forward armed with the tools of winter. The snow is moved, the car is
scraped and the ugly ice at the end of the driveway by way of the snow plow is
in for a surprise. Attack is eminent on this boundary to our freedom of the
streets.
For our lives in New England are well-seasoned. We are
prepared for all that Mother Nature can send our way. So far this winter, we
have been blessed with mild weather. Today’s snow is a reminder to us that winter
does always show up. Our shovels in hand are a reminder that we are ready at
all times.
