I am not a winter person. Never have been - never will be. I'm stubborn like that. I love the midwest - but I do not like a midwest winter. I do not like to be cold, I do not like snow, I do not like ICE - and that includes ICE Syndrome! ;) This past week, winter decided to dump nearly 2 feet of snow in two major snowstorms in my neighborhood. How not-so-nice.
I so want to live the moment - live the day - but a snowy winter day is one that is best enjoyed indoors. I ask my son - on his fourth snow day of the week - to build me a snowman outside my kitchen window - one that I can look down on and smile upon in the upcoming days . And so he does. I venture out on the cold snowy deck, snap a picture. Adorable. My way of living the moment in winter!
The snow ends. Two feet of snow - with just a little in-between melting and lots of snow plowing - results in tall mountains of snow on street corners and narrow streets. Street corners of tall snow mountains and narrow streets aren't the best driving conditions for someone with a very cloudy ICE eye. But I take it extra cautious - I get my critical errands done and get my son to his next activity safely. But after all of this, I do declare it is time for some warmer weather, sunny skies and sunglasses. I'm ready for Spring!
