Welcome Winter

While we usually look forward to summer for the freedom it offers

 for me the last summer was long & unbearable , so this year I 

have decided to embrace winter.

Embrace it for all it offers , the rare feeling of feeling cold,

 having more energy (no hibernating for me)

 snuggling in bed a bit longer in the mornings,

having bowls of hot homemade soup,

wearing a cosy jacket & scarf,  going on lovely long walks,

picnics , gardening without getting sunburnt & no mozzie bites !

And if the budget allows it (renovating is costly) a trip to the

snow in Victoria or NZ with the kids.

While we dont get snow here in Qld , I was feeling strangely 

envious of these beautiful creatures. While I am sitting  here 

writing this my toes are feeling chilly this morning to the point 

I have to get some socks , Love it !
