Happy New Year to all my readers (and also to the much larger group of people in the world who are not my readers). Juliet Wilson, a writer and photographer I like a lot, just posted that in Edinburgh, Scotland, where she lives, she has never seen so much snow over such a long period of time.
No tone of complaint, just a photo of her latest snowy walk and a report of some wonderful winter birdwatching.
Here is the comment I posted just now on Juliet’s site:
I admire your good attitude toward what sounds like record snow levels in Edinburgh. I confess I find cold, snowy winters difficult (growing up in sub-tropical Southern California was a bit formative, I’m afraid). Accepting the natural world on ITS terms instead of thinking the natural world ought to be accommodating and coddling us is one of the many things I like about your blog.

Thanks for the mini-feature!
A beautiful poet. You are an artist in your soul.
