Its been freezing here in NY for the last 4 days. We actually caught a nice break a week ago from the frigid temperatures that seemed to last all through December and January. It was in the 40's! That's a heat wave for us! People drive with their windows down with smiles on their faces because the sun is shining. A little vitamin D cheers us New Yorkers right up!
But, I do love snow. Its one of natures most beautiful creations. Plus no matter what age you are, you still find yourself sticking your tongue out to catch those icy flakes.The smell of firewood when you walk outside, or the little kids next door building a snowman are the little joys of winter. Sometimes, I get this urge to stick my tongue to a frozen pole. I always know what the outcome will be, but always try to pretend its not going to happen. I like driving in snow, when I'm the only person on the road. You would think with New Yorkers, most of them would know by now how to travel on icy, snow covered roads. Sadly, most of them forget. Its like...wheres the fire? Because I'd sure like to warm my hands up by it.
When its -2 here, you find yourself sitting around the house because its just to cold to go outside. That's pretty much what I did all weekend. My bedroom, bathroom and living room were the 3 rooms I saw this weekend. I have plenty of things I could have gotten done around the house, but the energy to accomplish such, just wasn't there. Nothing feels better than warm pajamas, a book and a warm cup of coffee when its this cold out. Having James here to be cooped up with would be even more amazing.
I remember last year we both bundled up and played in the first Washington snow fall. I really felt like a little kid. We made a huge snowman in the park across the street, and found little items around the park to use as props. He was the jolliest, biggest snowman I have ever made. Until, the next day when his head was missing. Poor guy. We sure did have a blast that night, making snow angels, a snowman, and hot cocoa. On cold days like these, while he is away, I always find myself reminiscing of all the fun things we have done. I cannot wait until he returns home so we can keep making more! Im signing off for now because the Grammy's are on! Another reason why I love winter!
