Gimmie Shelter
I never thought that a piece devoted to “the warmth, comfort, and the joy found during winter’s coldest moments” would involve the bus services of my hometown, but this is where I found such peace of mind and all the combined elements above during what was surely the coldest and darkest time I had on a return trip home.

Whispers of Winter
The wind howled through the barren branches, weaving a solitary tune that echoed against the evening’s stillness. In stark contrast stood the Thompson home, a beacon of light shimmering defiantly in the dark. Inside, laughter flowed like a warm current, intertwining with the rich aromas spilling from the kitchen.

The Flashlight
Growing up in the mountains with no plumbing, and just a wood burning stove to keep our home warm during winter was a difficult way to grow up. At 13, I had to climb into a 5000 gallon tank, halfway full of frozen water with an ice pick because my little sisters were too young, and my father was too large to fit. Breaking off chunks to heat on the fireplace for a warm bath water that couldn't even really be considered an actual bath. It was a bucket filled about ¾ full that we would use a plastic gas station cup with to pour over our heads to wash. Growing up in those conditions taught me to work hard though, I had an older step brother who wasn't around much. So that left the work to survive through the winter up to me and my dad. We'd wake up early in the morning to go hunting for meat. And our summer was spent chopping wood for the fireplace. We also spent many days picking the pine nuts from the ground when they started to fall from the tree’s (which I absolutely HATED... The sap was the worst to get off your clothes and your hair).

Scandinavian Christmas

Let the Decorating Begin
The boxes are tucked away underneath the stairs, where they reside throughout the year. Forgotten. The calendar pages turned, one by one, but the decorations remained hidden from sight, waiting their turn. The seasons arrived at their appointed times, as the dark winter days turned warmer with each passing week. Turn the clocks ahead and enjoy the extra hour of daylight. Days turn to weeks, bringing sweltering heat and long walks on the hot beach sand.
