I guess I need to start the countdown to the Winter Solstice...40 days today!--Nov.11 - 7 degrees this morning.
Nov. 12:
Temperature this morning was one Below! Yes 39 days...
In case you're wondering, it was just by chance that I started the countdown at 40 -- or was it? A Biblical number is 40-- Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, after his baptism in the Jordan.
ISRAEL spent 40 years in the desert. after their escape from Egypt.
Lent has 40 days. Sounds like 40 is the number for times of testing and trial. I think that really fits this time of year in northern climes!
But hope is on the horizon, even if it is distant right now.
