&lt;p&gt;This is the time of year when it&amp;rsquo;s easy to feel &amp;ldquo;down&amp;rdquo; with the weather.  Christmas is over and all the bright lights, Christmas trees, get-togethers,  and festivities of the season have come to an end.  The freezing winter temperatures have descended upon us and it&amp;rsquo;s only January.  Winter is a challenging time for getting around especially for those of us who are Senior Citizens.  We worry about slipping and falling, getting the flu, shovelling the snow, not to mention all those layers of clothing we have to put on to even go outside.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Wishing For Summer!</title><link>/posts/wishing-for-summer/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/wishing-for-summer/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&amp;ldquo;attachment_1630&amp;rdquo; align=&amp;ldquo;aligncenter&amp;rdquo; width=&amp;ldquo;584&amp;rdquo;]&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2014/Wishing-for-summer/i-Xt7GMJ2/0/M2dc5mBPF3FDLVsTdMKPnk3tCLWZ7wzpvs7wWWzQk/D/Porch-table-chairs-with-flowers-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="With Toronto&amp;rsquo;s freezing cold weather and ice storm this winter, my heart has many a day reflected on sitting out on a beautiful Summer&amp;rsquo;s Day." loading="lazy" src="https://jeanjankisamaroo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Porch-table-chairs-with-flowers-1024x590.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; With Toronto&amp;rsquo;s freezing cold weather and ice storm this winter, my heart has many a day reflected on sitting out on a beautiful Summer&amp;rsquo;s Day.[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make myself feel better about the extremely cold weather we&amp;rsquo;re experiencing now, I took a look at some of last year&amp;rsquo;s images.  These collages are a result of that time. Seeing these does make me feel better and brighter in spirit.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
