The cold and snow!

People think I am crazy for saying how much I love winter in the mid-west. And honest to goodness, I really do love it. The cold makes us stay indoors and hang out as a family, and we get to cuddle up by the fire. And the snow, it has been 5 winters now, and I still love to watch the snow fall, and I love to stand outside when it is falling to listen to it. It whispers as it falls. And even though Mike does 99.9% of the shoveling, the little bit that I do is fun. Call me crazy, but 80 degrees in the middle of winter is just not right, at least not anymore. And man, I don't have to drive hours to go sledding, we just walk out our front door, and sled onto the pond. I love winter.
