Winter questions stolen from Swap Bot

by Bev Syles, our host!



How do you get past the gray skies during winter? 

I would be terribly sad to live in an area that didn't celebrate the 4 seasons.  I love them all... and in a way winter is a favorite.. it is a time of  resting and relaxing on cold dreary days by a  warm fire,  reading,  contemplating,  reflecting..  The other seasons are so much more busy and hectic,  but grey days of winter soothe my  physical being!!

Do you like snow? Why or why not?

I would bet you couldn't find a teacher who didnt appreciate snow!  And after retirement I enjoyed them because sometimes it meant hubs stayed home with me.. Now that   we are both retired,  we love them  but  I have to restrain HUbs from getting out there so quickly to shovel... I say let nature get a chance first!   I love to watch it snow, the  heavy  blankets  pulling the  balsom branches down to the ground.   I  become  sort of a grouch sometimes, because as we do live on a hill some of the  neighboring boys would like to  sleigh down our yard.  Well, I didn't like it for two reasons.  I was horrified someone would do into the street and we'd be to blame,  but I didn't like to see my snow get   marked up.  

What are your favorite activities to do during the winter?

I  enjoyed sledding,  building snowmen,   and tramping around in the snow at home growing up.. In my vivid imagination I would   be  an artic explorer in the unknown  vastness of the  snow and ice!  But now I just love to watch it,  drink cocoas, it is a great time for me to get closer to God  as I appreciate His glorious creation!
