What I Like About Winter

[Karen]

What I Like About Winter:

I like the crunch of old snow underfoot
The way a snow-covered parking lot could be a field
The hiss and clang of steam radiators at night
The sharpness of the stars in a clear night sky
The warm sight of lit windows in houses after dark falls
Hot cocoa and hot chai tea -
They taste better when you know it is cold outside
Plainly seeing the tracks of elusive wildlife in newfallen snow
How the cardinals stand out, mama and papa both, agains the white
The black and white lace formed by snow on tree branches
Mittens toasty from the radiator
Cold days remind me of ice-skating on the ponds
Feeling you could glide for miles

And that there's no pollen, no ticks and no mosquitos around!


Add your own - but positives only please. Someone who doesn't like winter can start their own thread.

Watching the big fat flakes of snow falling
Walking in the snow
Trying to catch a snowflake on my tongue (yes, I haven't growd up yet)
Christmas - everything about it and what it stands for
Driving around and looking at everyone's pretty Christmas lights

I like to drive down a country road and look at how beautiful the snowfall makes everything.

We can finally turn our AC off!

Fireplaces
Wearing jackets in class
Seeing all the Christmas lights
Skiing, ice skating and other winter sports
And snow! Gotta love the snow!

Watching the pups bounce and hop in snow that's taller than they are.
Watching them get cases of the zoomies trying to catch their own snowballs they create.
Making snow angels and snow men.
Snowball fights.
The crackling of burning wood in the fireplace.
Thick socks, jogging pants and hot chocolate.

Hehe, you're NOT they only one

I also love watching the birds eat all the goodies we hung in our trees!

[Randi]

Watching the snowflakes fall
Watching the birds eat what people hung in the trees for them
Walking in new fallen snow in a country lane or a wood
The silence in the streets, even if cars are driving
Sitting in front of a real fire drinking tea or coffee
The soft light everywhere

Throwing snowballs for my dog's to catch
The first snow of the year that covers every tree branch and glistens
Snow days from work!

Snow Doggie Angels in my yard made by Buddy.
Paw prints in fresh snow.
Doggie snow faces and noses.
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH of the cold snow.
