first flurries

as i was walking back to the library a few minutes ago classes were changing and flurries were scattering all over the quad. it reminded me that i forgot to mention that we got our first flurries yesterday morning. they were big flakes but of course they didn't do anything buy flutter around before melting a foot or so above the ground. it was nice to see real signs of winter though; i thought it would never get cold.

i've come to realize that dealing with the cold is all about the scarf. all those years living in the south we always used scarfs as added color to drape under the collar of a coat, and i didn't fully come to appreciate scarfs until i cut my hair off-- when you're necks cold there is no warming up.
