It inspires some to poetry and sends others to mountainous slopes for wintry fun. I just look outside and say, "Ugh."
Cold. Wet. Slippery.
Low visibility.
Sliding cars.
Shoveling.
Colder.
No really.
Shoveling again.
Pretty for a day.
Layers & layers of clothes.
That get wet.
And cold.
Bleh.
In my fantasy world, I live on a warm sandy beach by a blue-green sea that has perfectly swimmable but not too tiny waves. There are lovely snow-covered mountains in the background that I never visit except by choice. In between is a wide rolling sward, mixed wild and tame. There are plenty of blooming cherry trees and magnolias, under which I walk with my pack of friendly dogs. I have lush lawns dappled (That's right. Dappled.) with exotic smelling flowers. These are tended by a slew of horticulture fairies, hand-selected and breeded for the purpose. Oh yes, and in the evenings they sparkle with magic and sing ethereal background music.
However, in the real world, I do my best to hibernate through the winter.
And lest you think I am a derelict mother who won't give her child sufficient opportunity to choose for herself, I think you should know I took Bridgette outside today and let her touch the snow. She agrees with me.
Photos from this week:
These two beauties are of me, Bri & the pups attempting to hibernate. If you want cuter pictures, please see last week's post. (Jeff snuck in the second one; we were so cozy!)

We must have grown up in Texas or something, because I don't like the snow either. We've had about 10 or 11 inches within the last week and more is expected tomorrow. I haven't left my house for a week and I'm HATING it!!
I like the tidbit about Bri's jewelry line. :)
Loved the pictures of the two of you sleeping.
I'm with you...not a huge fan of snow. I like it for a few days and then I'm so done.
Have a Merry Christmas! Email me your address and I'll send you a card.
You have to read my snow poem on my blog. Maybe that will make you see why snow is so great??
