The older I get the faster December comes around. We started it with a heavy frost this morning. In this climate the seasons turn faster than in Oregon....more defined. It is a cool sunny day, and I am glad for the light. I am a cold weather person, and love this time of year. Allot of things to do,,and grateful to have another day to get it right. I don't remember where I heard the saying, "Winter is the promise of Spring", but I have always liked it,,,,it says "Hope" to me. Have good thoughts today my friends.

Isn't that so the truth, Marcie!? When I was a kid a year was an eternity and now the years fly by as though just a day.
What a wonderful quote! I'm going to have to write this down to remind myself of Spring's promise! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Oh I love this painting and the phrase!!
Growing upi in Florida, our season changes were oh, soooooo subtle~lol!

As the flowers fade, the seeds mingle with the earth, softly blanketed by the falling leaves, as the gentle snows nurture them for rebirth in the
spring. (written by me)

I live in Missouri and have been complaining about our shortened days here. Then I read a blog from my Finland friend and they only get about 2 hours of daylight this season. That made me appreciate MO alittle more. It's still a gloomy time of year so thank God for Christmas! I agree with the passing of time going so fast now adays. I still feel like a kid at hear.

It does seem like December comes around faster the older I get too! I can hardly beleive a year has already gone by. Love that quote...hope you have a wonderful day...
Big Hugs,

Be so happy that you are a cold weather person and love this time of year. I'm not. ,-)
I prefer my cold weather, and snow and etc. ~~ be confined to gazing at it, out a window... While I'm snug and warm inside.
But of course, it doesn't always "work that way." :-))))
Oh that's a wonderful saying! And one I will have to cling to to get thru the miserable Chicago winters here!! So far it's not too bad, but Jan/Feb are brutal...the promise of spring is such a lovely thought :)

I can appreciate the beauty that that some of the winters days can bring. Me, I just would rather be in a tropical climate. Since that is not going to happen I will hold on to the expression that "winter is the promise of spring." It a promise that has never been broken.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave all those nice comments on the different posts. You made my day!
Beautiful thoughts! I like the "hope" of spring in winter. We are just beginning to get into really cold weather here. I am a mild weather person. I think I will hold onto those warm spring thoughts.
Oh Marcie! You are so right; I love cold weather, and it is just a promise that things will sleep for a while, then wake up again with the beauty of Spring. Thank you for visiting me and I want to wish you a happy, happy Christmas!! Anita
What a wonderful saying. I shall remember that. I though you would like to know it is 32 and dropping fast here tonight. A mention of the white stuff by morning. Sunny today but oh so cold in the twenty's this morning. Brrrrr. Take care Sharon
