I never thought I’d love it, but I do.

In my younger days I was a sun worshiper.

A summer lover. A beach bum who loved nothing more than sultry hot days and long walks on burning white sand.

Now? I like a different kind of white.

I want cold crisp air and a blanket of snow.

While most people crave warmth as they age, the older I get the more I look forward to winter.

It’s beautiful…

.

.

And peaceful.

.

I love the gentle colors …

.

.

And the stillness of the season.

  2. Those are indeed beautiful vistas – I loved the snow and cold when I was young, now old I have not moved on to loving heat and sun – but I always loved the beach in the winter – I spent more days at Jones in the Winter than I ever did in the Summer.

  6. Oh I’m with you there, I love winter and can much more tolerate the temps better than in the summer. Although your winters a much different than mine, here there is no snow (at least not yet) and it’s just cold but I love it!

  7. I like having a fire. Fortunately the woodshed is close by. We had a pretty big snow with vicious cold and a five day power outage back in 2010, just before Christmas. It started on Sunday, so no football. Instead, we bundled up in front of the fire and listened to some Grand ole Opry Christmas programs on our extreme low fidelity battery operated radio. If you don’t have one, it would be a great gift for anyone you might want to enjoy some old time country with by the light of the fire. If not that, have the best winter you can.

  8. Some snow for the Holidays is always welcome.. We’ve had flurries on three different occasions now so maybe snow’s return is getting closer. It has been cold enough…so we’re at least halfway there.

      1. We had a bunch of rain Sunday, but the area is still down about four inches of precip so we’ll take more of rain or snow. As much as I love snow covering the ground, I dislike when it starts to melt and you have that “transition” phase back to seeing land once more.

  12. Snow is beautiful – well, at least until you get more than 6 feet of it like we did last year. Then, it’s a bit of a pain. Still looks gorgeous in photos, though. I especially love your last photo – country winters are awesome.
