The Chill Zone

I'm not ready to give up on winter:

• I like my heavy winter coat - it's slimming
• I can't give up my tall black boots with black tights - love them
• No cozying up in a warm blanket with a good book? 
• Hot tea with lemon just isn't the same on a warm day
• No more bulky sweaters with fun patterns?
• What about my scarves?  I love a hand knitted infinity scarf

Perhaps it's really because...I'm not ready for summer:

• Shorts?  Bathing suit?  Short-sleeved shirts?  Nope, Nope, Nope!
• Sandals?  Not without a couple of pedicures...
• Air conditioning?  Brrr.  Followed by...
• Humidity?  Bad for hair, bad for me. 
• Bright sun, really early in the morning, on the days I can sleep in.  Boo.  
• Salads and eating healthy - not yet.  I haven't had enough stew. 

The real problem might be that I just really love what happens around here when it snows.  The roads are peaceful, and the pace of life slows down; and I am able to take a moment to enjoy all of that coziness and warmth.  

Hmm - 71 degrees predicted for Monday.  I'm not going to hold my breath.  I better get ready.
