I find as I get older I love the cold weather more and more. During the fall, my favorite place to be is up in the Catskill Mountains hiking. When the leaves are changing every turn in the trail is more breath taking than the one we just passed through. I love to smell the smoke from indoor fireplaces and watching all the animals stock up on their food and prepare for their winter's nap. But most of all, when fall comes winter is not far behind.
