Winter


I've been outside a lot recently and I've been seeing more signs that winter will soon be here. Things like no leaves left on the trees (with the exception of the evergreens), the cooler weather, the crisp smell of that cool fresh air, the fat squirrels running like idiots through anywhere and everywhere making you want to blow their fuzzy little heads off.
I've been thinking of what a wonderful place I live in. Not everyone has seen snow and a lot probably never will. I can't understand why God made the different seasons, but I can look around and see that he made each one with as much beauty as the last. Not many people seem to like winter (Dad says I'll find out when I have bills to pay) but right now I do. Seeing the world in a blanket of white with evergreens pointing out from underneath makes me I think of what a beautiful time of year it is.
Of course snow also has its miscellaneous purposes. Like cancelling school, making snowmen, snow forts, snow angels, and snowball, that starts the snow war, that no one will admit to throwing, .
I love winter.

Hey Ben. I don't know if I would go so far as to say I love winter, in fact I think you are crazy to say you l-o-v-e winter...lol. But I do love the first snowfall. It is so amazing to see and it fills me with such happiness. But then it turns January and it is freezing and the snow is up to your chin and we as adults still have to venture out to go to work. But hey I love your enthusiasm.
