I just came inside from a rowdy romp with my puppy and I realized that the weather has turned colder and the trees have become barren and brown. I am mixed with emotions from happiness to anticipation of winters arrival. The cold weather could mean snow however there is nothing worse then I cold and snowless winter in Vermont. I am looking forward to mounds of snow to build huge snowmen with. I am looking forward to hopefully getting up to the mountain a couple times this year or at least a couple more than last year! I feel like there is too much pessimism in the Northern climates about winter when in reality it is such a magical time of year.

Now of course I think every time of year is magical but that’s just my personality. However, winter is definitely in my top four favorite seasons…haha! I can’t wait for snow machines up at my brothers (cross our fingers) and cuddly nights in after playing in the sparkling white stuff all day.

I think my enthusasim for winter wins over the people who whine and complain about the cold. I always say, it is what you make it to be. Winter can be miserable if that is what you want or it can be the best time of the year if that is what you want. I happen to want to make it the best time of the year and that is how it shall turn out.

I say this now but lets see what I say in February after the coldest and longest winter days!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful blustery day!
