The North wind is blowing. It picked up speed in the late afternoon as if in a hurry to get somewhere. As I walked outside to take out the trash the wind reminded me of the movie Chocolat. When the North wind blew, it carried Vianne and her daughter to different towns where they would set up shop for a while and make decadent chocolate.
Perhaps I could say the wind blew in my friend and the dinner she purchased from Panera, soups and salad. Like Vianne, she, too, came bearing chocolate, dark chocolate to be exact, and plump red raspberries. We both are anticipating winter and all the delights it brings: sweaters and warm coats, cozy fires, hearty stews and spice cookies, apple cider and mulled wine. As far as we're concerned, the North wind can keep blowing for a while.
