NaBloPoMo Day #28... Loving winter

I have friends who love winter, so I am going to join them and do a positive blog about what there is to love about winter!

1) Cold. Frigid cold. 24/7

2) Snow. Cold, icky, white snow.

3) Cleaning snow off the car everytime you need to go somewhere - unless you have a garage. I don't.

4) Having to warm up my car before I go anywhere

5) Shoveling snow

6) Ugly grey/black trees - so much better than the pretty green of summer!

7) The constant grey days

8) Not being able to sit on the porch swing and enjoy the warmth and sun

9) ice

10) icy/snowy roads

11) having to dress warmer, wear a coat everywhere

12) slush

13) messy roads - always getting behind someone who throws enough slop on my windshield that I have to use my wipers and washer fluid constantly

14) Always getting just a big enough piece of ice under a wiper that the wiper won't meet the windshield

15) high heating bills

16) being stuck inside, no walking, no enjoyment of the outdoors, unless you like cold

17) colds, runny noses, sore throats

18) Snow - I know, said it already, but isn't it marvelous?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

19) I feel sadder in the winter

20) winter is harder on my car - isn't that terrific?!

21) frosty windows

22) can't open windows and enjoy a nice day, for there are no nice days

23) absence of sun

I am sure there are more, but that is enough for now - isn't winter just marvelous?!

You just have to learn to cross-country ski~~when we did that, we learned to LOVE winter! Now I can't ski, but still enjoy winter thinking about skiing. Give it a try! Instead of 'one for the gipper' do one for me.
