Mother Nature is adding another snow event notch to her belt as we all sigh heavily and cluck our collective tongues at her. As I starting writing this post, with the news on in the background, the first flakes arrived in the Downriver communities, thus compounding our Winter woes. I just looked outside and the snow is already a’flyin’ and covering the treacherous ice that surrounds my house. I don’t like snow, but I like the ambience that I sense every time I hear one of my favorite tunes by fellow Canadian Gordon Lightfoot: “Song for a Winter’s Night” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfyDs6uXww0
It always brings a smile to my face, even in this Winter of our Discontent. Stay warm and safe everyone.
About Linda Schaub
This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub
