It was in the 70's today! Sadly, I still have snow in my yard. *sigh* The warmer weather made me realize there are several things I'll miss about winter, though:
1. The absolute bliss that is cranking my heated seat up to nuclear on a cold day.
2. Boots! *crai* I can't believe I have to put away my beloved Clarks Mia West boots for, like, six months!!!
3. Sweaters and turtlenecks. I love to be layered and bundled up.
4. Blankets! *crai crai crai* I don't know about you, but I can't properly relax if I'm not draped in at least one blanket. Summer makes this nearly impossible. Writing is at least ten times harder while blanketless.
5. The snow. I KNOW. This is a little bit of crazytalk. But the thing is, I don't have to weed snow. Or mow it, or fertilize it, or rake it. And in my yard, it doesn't get dirty. It just stays a pretty, white blanket that covers up all the crab grass, and the old mulch that needs replacing, and the bushes that need pruning, etc. Granted, this year the snow maintenance really tested our limits but there's no doubt I'm going to miss that handy excuse to largely ignore my yard for months on end.
I'm definitely a fall/winter girl. No doubt about it. I loathe sweating. I prefer overcast days to sunny ones. I love the rain. I heart thunderstorms and snowstorms. And I'm cold pretty much all the time, which is remedied by sweaters and blankets, not short sleeves and air conditioning. *sigh*
How about you? What will you miss about winter? What's your favorite season?
