Our snow has arrived. It has been pretty watching it fall and add up slowly.
I am not a big fan of the cold, but I love the first snows. My mind wanders back to my childhood and the holidays, a good feeling of warmth and closeness with family.
At this time of year, I appreciate my automatic car starter, and our programmable thermostat which warms the house before we return home in the evening. Flannel sheets are especially nice, as are long nightgowns, heavy bathrobes and warm slippers. Add to that fuzzy sweaters, crocheted afghans, and a warm cup of cocoa, and I’m set for the winter.
