You know winter is approaching, or has arrived when...
There's snow on your car when you leave work
You can't see the lane lines on the road on the way home
The road signs are covered (100% edge to edge) and its a good thing I know where I'm going cause everything's un-readable
The plow trucks are out in full force to salt the highways
You know a holiday is near when...The normal traffic at the grocery store is increased by about 100
The average person at the grocery store isn't buying a week's worth of food, they're buying in small, very specialized lists of things, like ingredients for spinach dip, or only chips and soda, or only a giant turkey and some dinner rolls, or flowers and a cheese tray
The kids at the store are extra spunky cause they're out on vacation and enjoying every minute of it
People aren't browsing, they're hunting down the next item from the recipe card they're holding in-hand
And today we've got the chaos of both of these major events, a holiday tomorrow and the first major weather of the season tonight. I'm glad to be home, in my cozy warm bedroom, and not sitting at an airport delayed somewhere, or trying to drive a long distance across the country crammed into a little car. Holidays are nice, and snow is nice, but join the two together and you never know what will happen next...
So, I hope everyone travels safely, dresses warmly, and have a Great Thanksgiving!
