Hummm... Winter?
I like the quiet of winter.
Winter somehow seems comforting,
Those evening where the temp hovers around 28 above, big
flakes are falling and coating the trees and everything else and as you walk down the street, the new fallen snow looks as though it is big pieces of glitter.
The enjoyment of people's imaginations with their decorations and lights(as long as they take them done after New years[:D]).
The beginning of Winter can seem like a magical wonderland(that usually ends like a horrible nightmare).
I love Winter cooking; big pots of soup, stews, roasts, yams, pies, cookies and all kinds of "comfort" foods.
Yes, the hot chocolate with toast to dunk in it, or maybe a hot tottie or hot buttered rum!
I like the fact that there are ways to warm yourself up(as opposed to summer where it comes mostly down to air conditioning) you can put more layers on, more blankets on, have a relaxing evening in front of the fireplace and of course wild sweaty sex[8D].
I like the fact that in Winter, people are more apt to gather together in each other's homes
and spend more time visiting, not like Summer where everyone is out and about doing their own things.
Then comes the middle of January when I am ready to fight my way out of the prison of Winter. This is when I really would like to get out of my fear of flying and go visit my friend in Laguna Beach or other friends living in warm places.
When it becomes like a frozen grey tundra and I begin to crave the longer days and the buds of Spring![:)]
