“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare.
They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. But that’s where the transformation occurs.
Once we stop wishing it were summer, winter can be a glorious season in which the world takes on a sparse beauty and even the pavements sparkle. It’s a time for reflection and recuperation, for slow replenishment, for putting your house in order.” Katherine May, Wintering
Tomorrow, I will be putting my house in order! A bit of winter prep and clean never hurt anyone.
