WINTER!

While winter is my favourite season I find as each one comes around I look forward to it and the differant pleasures they bring. And since Elcapitan thinks we hate too much im thinking we should share what each of us loves about winter so we can start looking forward to it a little bit more.

Even the grouchiest grinches must have something the love about the season.

I'll start and say I love the snow. It makes everything look clean and fresh and its like little cold kisses landing on you.

((yes its cheesy but im happy so who cares))

I love how quiet it is at night, when it's snowing.

I love the sound of frost crunching under the tyres when I ride first thing in the morning, and looking out of the window at dusk with a glass of wine and a book when it's snowing is a magical feeling

I love when it snows. My kids and I throw snowballs and build snowmen and make snow icecream! It is fun and memoriable.

I live in California where it never snows. I love the beautiful images the last posts have brought. Now I kinda wish I lived somewhere where it did snow. I do like the cold.

My happy place in my mind is sitting in a log cabin surrounded by deep thick snow. Im in front of a roaring fire with a cup of hot chocolate and a comfy armchair. A dulux dog ( Old english sheep dog) asleep at my feet.

I love to see a heavy frost (a haw frost) Everything is sparkling as the winter sun lights every tiny twig, each blade of grass and brightens up my life. I do wish England would learn to grit the roads tho' (well, you can't have everything)

Snow in general. The fun activities it brings, like skiing, snowmobiling, snow ball fights, sledding, igloos and snow people.

I like to shoveling snow, (yes I love to shovel snow, I do almost the whole block.) Once I am out there I am not cold anymore and just dont want to come in.

I like how the snow makes everything so clean and white. Covers up the things that are old and dirty, and makes then look beautiful.

And one more thing, I get to wear my snow boots!

Winter makes me feel alive and energetic. I love waking up and seeing the snow and when you go outside, every sound is dampened. The crunch of it under my feet and having to wrap up warm.

Sounds really evil of me, but I laugh so much when people slip over..lol. (obviously if they get up again quickly). They look around to check if anyone saw them fall over....always makes me chuckle.

The best part is when my train station is shut because they forget to put salt down on the platforms....then I can't get to work and get a day off.

I love icecles... theyre like frozen tears, happy or sad theyre beautiful.

And I love walking into a warm house after being out in the freezing cold. Or a warm kiss on a cold cheek.... awesome.

i love all of the above. my fave season has always been winter and it is still weird for me to be living in a country where it doesn't snow much. i get so excited when it does snow a little here now....cause it is sooo beautiful!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
