Why I love winter

Snow.

Actually, lots of snow.  And hot cocoa, and marshmallows (sometimes), and being forced to stay home because
the blizzard that ate my house
is coming and nobody is allowed to drive anywhere.  One of my favorite things about winter is the snow days.  I have my knitting (and laundry to fold, but that's boring), and movies to watch on Netflix, and lots of hot cocoa.  I don't have to go anywhere, our heat is working, and there's plenty of food in the house.  I could probably last a week!

Anyway, it is no longer snowing here, and I am not as excited about shoveling as I should be, I guess.  But I love this weather. 

Gratitude List:

* My kids are mostly well-adjusted (notice I do not claim they're normal), and I love them very much.  (Except when they decide that a JUSTICE LEAGUE marathon is a wonderful idea.)

* God is good. and I am so blessed.
