Sunny disposition
It’s this time each year when winter is in full swing, the days close in darkness at 5 p.m. and the wind chill is 0 degrees. Originally from Colorado, where it can snow 12 inches one day and be 50 degrees and sunny the next, I need to actively remind myself what it is about this season that I love, now that I live in Indiana. It’s not uncommon for skies to be overcast for days on end and for freezing rain to accompany or precede beautiful snow. So, here goes:
10 things I like about winter, in no particular order:
- snowflakes, falling snow, crunchy hard-packed snow, all things snow-related
- hot chocolate
- the rich outside smell and bright inside warmth of wood-burning fires
- I can wear my handknit alpaca scarf
- it’s an excuse to snuggle with my husband in public
- my hairstyle does not get drowned out by summertime humidity
- the ability to layer my clothing without getting hot indoors
- the ease and use of using the crockpot for dinner
- an excuse to eat comfort food like pasta and baked potatoes
- gives me a renewed appreciation for spring and all things green, especially in Indiana!

Glad to see you're looking on the bright side of winter! Here's some things I like:
1. Time away from yardwork to read a book or sew
2. Shoveling snow (I like to!)
3. Driving my 4WD in a snow storm
