Winter

I know I will not get many who agree with me, but I'm loving this winter.  This is the kind of winter weather we had when I was growing up, so I guess it is part nostalgia, but this is what I feel that winter should be.  Cold and snow are all part of the package of having real seasons! 

I love that when I walked out my front door yesterday (Wednesday) the snow was smooth, glittering and untouched.  There is something divine in untrammeled snow.  And then I get to go crunching through the crusty, fresh snow in my comfy, warm snow boots!

I don't know what it is about all the piles of snow that have been pushed up in and around the parking lots.  It makes me want to be a kid and play king of the mountain.  When I was leaving the restaurant from dinner with my friend this evening, I saw a couple of kids coming out and running at one of the snow hills . . . just made me smile.  It also makes me smile to see all the pics on FaceBook of nieces, nephews, cousins and the kids/grandkids of my friends enjoying the snow.
