I look out the window to my beautiful surroundings. Our little mini farm in a thin layer of snow. I see a few chickens who have braved the weather to peck around outside. There is a cat or 2 pawing at the door, begging for me to let them in. I love this time of year when I can look out and see all of God's Splendor, covered with the powdery white stuff.
Then, I step outside....
What in the world are people thinking when they live in this part of the country??? It's a horrible 27 degrees and I am trekking out into the horrible freezing-ness (is that a word?), to sit in a freezing truck with cold kids waiting for the heater to kick in... AHHHH!!!!!!
I love Florida. I picture the beach, the waves, the sunburn... and I long for it. Especially THIS time of year. The gas is cheap now, what's stopping me from packing 5 suitcases and getting out on the open road for a long 2 day trip with 4 little boys, and a hubby who's wondering where my mind went? Well, I guess that last thing is stopping me. You know the hubby. He loves the cold. He loves being out in the cold. He loves shoveling, scraping, and stomping through... I don't know. I think I could be content watching it from a TV in a warm and sunny locale. Drinking fresh OJ from the orange tree in my yard, and taking walks everyday, without having to bundle a sad little baby up in layers... It just ain't natural, people!
Have I rambled enough about winter? What's YOUR favorite time of year? Have you guess which one is NOT my favorite? =)

I love snow....from my warm house looking at it out my window. :-)
Fall is probably my favorite season. Truth is, I like having all 4 seasons and wouldn't want to live somewhere that didn't have them all.
Well my favorite is spring. I too love the changing seasons and seeing God in each one, but I love seeing the new growth. I do like the warm weather too, but the snow is nice for awhile!
Its a tie between spring and fall, Fall because the colors and the smell of the air, its the old passing away. Spring also because of the colors and its a renewal of life and I love that.
This post cracked me up! Winter is my very least favorite season of all. I'll take the cold/snow for one day, on Christmas day. And the very next day I better wake up to Sunsine, blue skies, and happiness. Although I will say, there have been times when I'm outside and it's really cold and I come back inside to warmth and my mind feel refreshed and I have a new appreciation for heat. And hot beverages. And that's my one page thesis. Thank you. Can I have an A+?
Ok I am sorry Sarah that m son loves the cold, He did not get that from me you know. I was thinking that if he does not want to go with you, our mother in law would go with you!! How about that??? Although if you would move your mini farm to florida we would come and see you all winter!!
