The Best Part about Winter….
Woman in the Middle | November 30, 2012Now that our weather here in So Cal has been hinting that it might actually change seasons, my thoughts have turned to winter. I love all seasons as each has its own set of joys. But with winter on my mind, I have been contemplating what I like about that season. Here is what I have decided:
1. With the time change it gets dark earlier. After the sun goes down the dust, dirt and animal induced fur balls just aren’t as visible. Keep the lights on low and invite friends and family over after dark and you don’t have to clean nearly as much!!! Needless to say, just for this one thing alone winter is my kind of season!
2. I am the descendent of many many pale people from northern Europe. Winter gives me the chance to cover up much more of that blindingly white skin. Good for me and good for everyone around me!
3. I have also packed on a few too many pounds. Face it, winter clothes help camouflage that as well!
4. Even in California, the plants as least slow down their growth in the winter time. It also actually rains on occasion, like it has the last two nights. So, except for the massive amount of oranges I will have to start picking at the end of December, my duties in the yard as at their lowest. I can just enjoy it without have to tackle it. And, yes, except when it is raining, I can still on the patio and enjoy the yard.
5. Finally, I can turn on the oven and enjoy all of those things that come from a hot oven like roasts and breads and such without having to break the bank account by also turning on the air conditioner. I am not saying I HAVE done this, I am just saying I CAN do it if I want to!
