Trevor Miller Sorry, I've got nothing for this one. I really don't have any plans for the winter other than wearing a lot of sweaters and covering my windows with plastic to keep the heat bills down below last winter's crazy cold wallet busters.Ken Mansell Winter has become too dark, too cold and too long. Perhaps these quotes will explain. 'Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.' _ Edith Sitwell 'I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.''Ê _ Lewis Carroll Ê 'What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.' _ÊJohn SteinbeckDenny Hyndman There are never a shortage of winter activities here in the north! I will spend the upcoming winter months supporting the efforts of the clubs around town and utilizing the programming in place for children, like our library and Read to Me program. Fantastic craft shows will soon be here, Bust the Winter blues activities and I will be keeping an eye on the art classes soon available through NorVA. I kinda hope it gets chilly chilly because I've always enjoyed dog sled races and festival voyageur cultures, too. I have a strange sense of pride when the rest of the world thinks, 'Wow, Flonners! How the heck do ya survive -40?'
