Winter Wonders (and faults)


First I'd like to say that we all know winter is the coldest season of the year around here. There are some great things about it and some not so great things about it. I am not that fond of winter, personally, but that doesn't mean I don't like the outdoors. In fact, I LOVE the outdoors!!! I especially love to explore in the woods where we live. I only don't like the winter because you have to wear these big old poofy things, you don't get to swim, and you can't go outside without being cold, (usually). I like the summer. When all the birds are singing, when all the trees are gorgeously green, when the deer and other magnificent animals are out, when you can go swimming, LOL, and when you can go outside and not freeze your butt off!!! Think......... WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON, OR TIME OF THE YEAR? WHY?? The great thing about winter is you get to ice skate, you get to make snowmen, igloos, snow angels, and you get to sled until your blue in the face!!!! :) Also, the great thing about all of the seasons is you get to have a great time!! (If so desired, LOL)

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!

McKenzie- I Love your post on the seasons and having a taste of your perspective. I always assumed I loved the summer the best, when the sun is coaxing flowers and bees from hiding, fruits out of seeds, and the warmth and vibrancy of community seems to be celebrating the most. I love being outside in Nature, too, and in summer I can be a part of that the most. Being that you wrote this in January has made me think. The present is showing me a new face of the winter, one that is bitterly cold yet incredibly bright with sunrays. There seems to be a general inspiration in the air, where new ideas are forming out of thin air, where the rest of December begins to feed the new awakenings. January tells new stories and waters new seeds for the coming spring. I have a new appreciation for January; the gate of the past, present, and future.

Love your writing -
