Stuff I Love About Winter

  1. Enjoying the sunshine without the high UV risk.
  2. Hot porridge on cold mornings.
  3. Warm, thick, fluffy flannelette sheets.
  4. The clean, crisp air left behind after a stiff southerly's blasted through.
  5. The restful quietness that comes over the garden.
  6. Lying in bed listening to the rain ... while snuggling :)
  7. The look of bliss on Amy's face when I put down my hot Milo mug and hold her face instead.
  8. Polar fleece!
  9. Warm clothes straight off the hot water cylinder.
  10. Did I mention snuggling? ... :)

Yeah, okay, I'm having a good day today! :)

LOL... You are quite obviously the hopeless romantic ; )

Good list... but I think I'll have to go with summer over winter.

I wasn't always that way, but I have grown tired of winters in my old age.

I can GUARANTEE (no matter how much I love this place) that come retirement day (far away as it is), I will be moving some place warm... and there shall I live out my days.

I hope you and your family are having a nice transition to winter, Chris.

Keep in touch.

Aww... winter.
Scarves. jackets, sweaters, mexican hot chocolate (oh yeah baby--you have NO idea) and for california... mild rain.
Maybe, if we get REALLY lucky, thunder. Perhaps even wind--all if which makes for some impressive surf!
