Yet even for me, one of the most violent winter-haters in the last category, there are mo- ments when it has a mysterious charm that cannot be duplicated at any other season. Today is one of them. Nope, it's not one of those sparkling, crunchy, sky-blue winter days which no one but a complete misanthrope could fail to enjoy. It's just the opposite. It's one of those brooding winter days when the shadow of the great monster of the north hangs low over the shrinking earth, and his icy paw feels about the walls of the house, seeking a weak spot where he may enter and strangle. His cold, blue breath raises snow-ghosts that sift silently among the naked, shivering trees. His very presence makes the blue-green spruce huddle closely, like frightened cattle in a storm. The water of the bay reflects, fearfully the slate-gray of his sightless eyes. Don't be frightened, children. The old spook won't get us. As long, that is, as the snow doesn't block the roads, and we don't run out of fuel, and there isn't a power breakdown. It's a day for sitting by the fire with a hot noggin, dream- ing, shivering deliciously once in a while, as the monster out- weekend with the g in the country. It has followed its inevitable pattern. The night we arrived, it blew and it snew. In the morning it was still snowing, with a wind gusting to 40 miles an hour, piling up the drifts, filling the driveway. Late in the day, the snow stopped, the wind dropped, and so did the temperature, to a nice round figure -- zero. Typi- cal visiting winter weekend. But we care nowt. Flames dance in the fireplace, fairies on the television. Tomorrow is time enough to dig out the car, pray that it will start, and hope the snowplow will get through the side-road. While the monster prowls outside, all is serene within. Grandad reminisces about win- ters 30 years ago, when he drove a rural mail route, with team and sleigh. Bundled to the ears. 'Buffalo robes. Snow piled to the top of snake fences. Stopping for lunch in the still shelter of deep spruce woods. Lonely as the Ancient Mariner, on a white, white sea. And home, darkness deepening, to cosy lamplight, snug farm kitchen, hot food, and 'anxious wife. While he talks quietly, Gran- ny produces endless pots of tea, cake, sandwiches, chocolates. The kids sprawl on the floor, strumming guitars or dreaming. The Old Battleaxe dozes, silent for once. And even yours truly, lulled Phone 3891 be remembered. Phillips |, Toronto will instruct.
