Such is happening as winter once again descends upon us...winter coats, snow shovels, car brushes,salt ...all get dug out of their summer hiding places to make the cold a little more livable.There is indeed a long list of drawbacks to this winter business such as icy roads, frosty cars,snowdrifts for walkways, frozen people..to name a few.Ah, but then there are the benefits. :)
It is hard to beat the experience of building a snowman with various friends and kids, then engaging in a snowball fight, before trekking inside to discard snowsuits, hats and so forth by a crackling fire and heading upstairs to hot chocolate and fresh chocolate chip cookies.
Also comparable to that is taking a solitary stroll in the quiet of the woods with the cheery sound of birds to break the silence,the white landscape to relax your eyes,and thoughts of God and His works to fill your mind.
Now as of yet this winter I am still experiencing the frosty car and snowdrift sidewalks side of the season.:p But I have no doubt that I will enjoy the better parts of the cold as well which balances everything out quite nicely.Until then...
let it snow,let it snow,let it snow!

Snow? I hope we don't get any here anytime soon. I love the looks of it but it can be a mess as far as the roads are concerned sometimes, especially if it's accompanied by ice. You keep the winter weather!
Chicken!Snow is part of winter.You haven't experienced winter if you haven't seen snow, shoveled snow, driven in snow, waded in snow. :p
Thank you very much! Before you were even born (1979) we sat w/o power for 8 days because of an ice storm! Last year we were w/o power for 3 1/2 days due to an ice storm, lol! Sure the snow was pretty but the ice wasn't much fun!
exactly. :p Snow = winter.Ice = american winter. lol
Whatever! I watched a program on TV about a bad Canadian ice storm, lol!
