Reasons I love Snow

Ok. I need to be honest. I'm writing this to convince myself that I'm happy that spring isn't here yet. That I'm not looking at the calendar wishing it were March...a warm March. First, a little song to get us in the mood, the kids were singing it this morning:



  1. It is easier to get a lot of homeschooling done, because all we want to do is sit inside and read anyway.
  2. My compost pile looks great after a winter, it's perfect to grow in the next spring.
  3. I learn to appreciate the warmth of spring.
  4. If winter is coming, fall is here, and fall is my favorite season.
  5. Christmas just doesn't feel right when it's not white.
  6. Snowflakes are pretty.
  7. My flowering bulbs need to get cold before they will bloom again (and though I realize I can do that in my freezer, it's easier for it to snow than for me to dig them all up and replant.)
  8. My husband is more likely to work from home, because riding a bike in the snow is not easy, but alas, he still does it. Notice I just said more likely, it doesn't happen that much.
  9. A reason to put my pretty quilts on the bed.
  10. This happens while reading stories to the kids:

You need to mention what you set your thermostat to!

I have a similar picture- for Christmas a few years back Travis got me a "CozyToes", a heating pad that goes on the floor for your feet to rest on. Within minutes of plugging it in, the girls shifted their base of operations for opening presents to my lap so they, too, could warm their toes on the mat. Ahhhh, there's NOTHING better than having warm feet when you're cold! (at least for me)
