Still Winter

I asked Scot last night, "Do you think winter is over?" We haven't had any major snowfalls lately, and even our high-altitude residence is starting to see signs of spring. And then this morning, I wake to see the world covered in white again. The snow laughs at me: "No, winter is not over, silly! You live in north Idaho. Don't you realize by now that winter can last through spring?" I came across some photos on my laptop from two summers ago. We were tan, flushed, and happy. Now I have this crazy desire to be tan again. In the middle of winter!
