My First Blog

Well hello! This is my first entry in what I hope to be a place where you can come and relax, drink your morning coffee (or tea if you prefer. Coffee for me though!) and read about different things. I will post every Monday and Thursday mornings. My topics will vary, as I tend to talk about anything and everything! I'm a talker, and once I start it's hard for me to stop sometimes! So I apologize if my posts ever get too long, I hope you'll enjoy them anyway.

Today I'd like to talk about #winter, and why it's my favorite of all seasons. Well to be fair, I also enjoy Autumn, but we'll save that for another day. Anyway, Winter. Lovely, freezing cold winter. Where everything is dead, yet beautiful in it's own way. The naked trees with their crooked branches, the beauty of fresh fallen snow, the crisp air. It's really quite a special season. I love when it snows, man do I love snow. The world is quiet and peaceful, and if you stand there you can actually hear the snowflakes. I love standing outside and looking up at the sky when the snow is falling. The sound of packing snow under my boots when I walk, and I love going for walks in the snow. Everything looks so beautiful under a blanket of white. I have a very fond memory from my childhood that still makes me smile today. My Gran and I took a walk one night down the road to an old parking lot on the corner, it was snowing, and we stood under the glow of the street light staring up at the falling snow, catching snowflakes on our tongues.

Winter is pretty freaking awesome. I know a lot of people hate winter, just like I hate summer. Yes, I hate the heat. When it's cold it's easier to get warm, unlike when it's hot. In the winter you can make a nice hot cup of cocoa or brew a pot of coffee, snuggle up under a blanket by the fireplace. You can layer clothing, and remove them if you get too warm. When it's hot, what do you do to keep cool? Sure you can sit in air conditioning, but not every place has it. You could go swimming, but the fact is you're still going to be hot. If you like hot summer days, and enjoy the feeling of your skin melting off, then more power to ya! I'll just be over here in the winter, enjoying being able to get warm AND cool off whenever I need to :)

Thanks for checking out my blog today! Stop by on Thursday for another post. Have a great Monday!

Remember, opinions are like eyes. Everyone has them, but we all see things differently.
