1.31.15 "Oh So What' To A 10 Degree Day

So interesting to me how, in the fall, we begin to whine about the approaching days of c-o-l-d. 

The inconvenience of finding our socks and shoes and coats and all , once again. 

But once we get to late January, and encounter 

the dog leash clasp that has to be thawed by your fingers to open,

 each inhalation freezes the inside of your nose , 

and sometimes your skin stings 

and fingers and toes threaten with numbness, 

still , it kind of becomes

 'Oh so what' to a 10• day.
