Wintery words that will warm you up for spring

Winter, the very sound of it is like frigid air blowing across a frozen lake.

It's such a beautiful season, but so intense.
And sometimes it feels as if it will last forever...we know it won't though...

Here are a few more wintery words to warm us up to the thought of spring, and to keep us believing that Winter is nearly over.

SHURL when all the snow slides off a roof after it begins to thaw, that’s a shurl.
Even the sound of it rushing off of your tongue sounds like the snow falling off of the roof.

Brumous: those grey skies and winter days filled with heavy clouds are brumous.

Niveous resembling snow

MOBLE When you moble you're wrapping up your head with a hood, think layering up to keep warm.

And a word that will fill those of us with snowbound hearts with joy...

Sareureuk a Korean word that describes the sound of snowflakes slowly melting in the warmer days or the sunshine.

Looking forward to Spring...

We can't believe how much we love our "word" it's great having one." Right...ah ha... And it's only for a year. Sure it is...once you start....it's a slippery slope. To me "the word" is like going into a pet store when you have absolutely no intention of bringing home that cute cat in the window... The next thing you know.. Yo...

If A Tree Falls

There's a phrase that reads... If a tree falls in the forest........ And no one is there. .... Will anyone hear it? Writing blog posts can feel like that at times... If I write it... Does anyone read it? Should I bother, is it even worth it? Then I realized....a blog post is like a tree in the forest. If it's been written, someone will read it and even if they don't leave a comment it's still be...

A Golden Lakeside Hike
