Ready or not... cold weather is on the way.
I mean...I am not saying that winter starts tomorrow or anything. But they are forcasting a high on Thursday of only 35 degrees (or 50 degrees...you know how those weathermen are!) and lows in high 20's!!!!
So....I started thinking....thinking of reasons that I could be GLAD that cold weather, snow, sleet, ice, freezing rain, windchill, etc, are on the way. So here is my list. Please feel free to add to it. I think it is a good way to combat the onset of seasonal affective disorder.
1. No more mosquitos, flies and ants.
2. Snow days with the kids.
3. No more mowing the yard.
4. Snow angels.
5. Cozying up in front of the corn stove (that's for another post!)
6. Hot chocolate.
7. Colleen's peppermint cheesecake (Chad's input to the list)
8. Did I mention no more mosquitos??
9. Beautiful wintery scenes just outside the window.
10. Sledding.
OK.....I feel better already, don't you?? Help me out....add to my list. What are you favorite things about winter??

Hi Michelle! This is Jennifer from AGCI. Thanks for sharing your blog! It's great! I too like to surf for blogs and I just laughed out loud about the comment your husband made about you being stuck on the computer! My husband said I have an addiction...makes me wonder too if I am using my time wisely! Anyway, one thing I do love about winter is having the heat on in the house and the smell it leaves! It smells so warm and comforting. But since I have no pants that fit I am not happy about putting away my capris! Have a blessed day!
Hello Michelle! I'd like to say that I can relate to your 'winter blues' but here in Texas it's still in the 80's!... Yes, I am bragging! So far we don't miss the cold weather one bit! One thing that my girls like to do in the winter is bake lots of warm cookies and drink hot chocolate! (Swiss Miss, of course, with extra marshmellows) Glad to hear you all are doing so well!
Miss you,
Amber Ramsey
I love getting into a pair of flannel pajamas and sitting in front of the fireplace! :-)

Snow angels and sledding would have made my list, too.
What about hot cocoa? (Or did you say that and I've already forgotten it?)
A hot bath?
Fuzzy slippers and a good book?
Down comforter to crawl under atnight?
Mittens?
EGGNOG LATTES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Love you! Fun post! (I love lists.)

I listed some things and then deleted them because I realized they all had to do with making myself warm because it is cold outside and I don't like the cold! I don't like winter!! But, since I wanted to comment on your blog and not make you feel like I was ignoring you I will say the best thing about winter is the Holidays and the fun WARM get togethers that we have with WARM food, that makes me feel WARM on the inside!

Number ?. Best thing about cold weather are all the things on the original list and the additions to the list because without the cold weather, many of those things lose their appeal...or else just can't be experienced in the first place. I miss the change of seasons very much...even the cold/snow, but learning to be content in whatever the weather God puts us in is definitely something I am still needing yet choosing to learn. If you miss the warmth of the weather outside...plan a trip to see us in Thailand sometime where if you are a foreigner from a cold climate, it is always some variation of hot. :) Thanks for the entry...
