Winter

Reading back some posts a year ago in December made me smile.

I still think the same about loving wind-still cold days.

Where little puffs appear where you breathe and talk.

A white blanket covering .. well.. everything. :)

Snowing began really early this winter, though.
Earlier even than last year.

Before last year, it was a question of whether 'real' winters would ever come again.

It would be windy, cold and wet, snow two days in February and melt again, and that was it.

I was disappointed it took me so long to graduate, fearing I might've missed any chance at snow at all. And the first winter I spent here, everything was white in December. Not just for a day or two, but for weeks, and when that melted, a few days later it would snow again. It snowed so much, actually, that it sent chaos into the lives of train-managers, people going to work, people's stuck at home or where they were at at the time (Judith and I were staying in Deventer, at my Unc's, then.. Good times. x3 )

This year, the snow started in November. Ridiculous! November!

The last week, but still!

And though there's been a few days where it all melted, it back to stay (at least until Christmas is over). For me, that means more walks in the past two weeks than the past 4 months put together. And lots of pictures. And lots of frustration at the fact that my health won't allow me even more walks. And lots of reading when I'm home-tied because I can't go out for walks. :) Hurray.

An entirely different point: I absolutely love how my previous blog post made you all put out your own opinions. I should do that more often :)

To all of you, though: It wasn't my point that it was /only/ the eyes.

It's vulnerability, innocence, prettiness.

I didn't mean cuteness in the specific sense, either.

Only the general-can't-be-helped-cuteness.
