en hiver

DAMN! I MISS WINTER...:-(
As I have written months ago, I just LOVE winter. The chilly wind, dryness, and the holiday filled environment...irresistable. In fact, I miss winter so much that I am taking a leap in the dark by listening to Christmas songs...in July! lol

Actually, when carefully thought, fabulous memories of last winter is promoting this attribution towards winter. Unfortunately, we will be in midst of the "Achievement" test preparation this winter, and it will definitely be difficult to reserve the time necessary for memory-making. Christmas would be acceptable...but, with whom? Yet to be decided...sigh.

Last but not least, it's Independence Day!!! What, you're saying it's the 5th already? It's still the 4th in the States. :-) This is the kind of international sense you're going to need in a globalized society...well not really.

The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
