This has been the strangest winter for sure! Up to this date just a smattering of snow here and there with days 40 or above! Last year at this time we had at least 30" of snow on the ground. Finally we are in the snow, just as winter should be! There are lake effect snow warnings until tomorrow evening with the promise of several more inches of snow! YAY! Being back in Michgan now for 2 years I have come to the conclusion that I am a Northerner through and through, no doubt about it!
Winter is my favorite season! A time when windows and doors are battened down to face the howling winter winds. The fireplace is now a cozy spot to snuggle down into my chair and sip yummy hot chocolate. Comforters are piled high on the bed....ahhhh...to sink into the cavern of covers with only my nose sticking out! Love it!
Smells of gingerbread, snickerdoodles, pumpkin pie and homemade rolls complete the winter indoor feel. Oh yeh, also popcorn and a movie!
It doesn't matter what time of the day or night, the minute a large storm hits our area I bug Donn to pull out the heavy coat, clunky boots, hat and mittens and go for a walk. How blessed I am to have a husband that loves me so much to humor my impulsive tendencies! I could go on and on about my love of our winter wonderland but I will stop for now! So winter is finally here, what is not to like? I am certainly totally truly livin' and lovin' my life! Until next time...Dianne
