It's wonderul to sit in a comfy chair with a book and a hot vup of tea and maybe a treat as well. Watching movies is a treat as it calling friends and writing cards and notes, which I do anyway, but on a cold or snowy day, it somehow is even more enjoyable. I don't go put on the roadways unless it wqs absolutely necessary.Beatrice P.

Here in Montreal, Canada, our summers are mostly dangerously hot and humid, and even though our winters can be pretty cold, sometimes dangerously so, I prefer the winter...I love the fresh, crisp, clean air, the snow, and coming in to a warm home and having a nice cup of hot chocolate.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-38722924271826154082015-01-09T10:33:07.911-06:002015-01-09T10:33:07.911-06:00It's been beautiful here and not very cold, hi...It's been beautiful here and not very cold, high 50's, sunshiney.

And I do enjoy photographing snow and ice. And I do LOVE to read so a yucky day is a good excuse for spending guiltless time with books. One good thing I like about winter is I don't have to cut the lawn. :))EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-51888403903661536342015-01-06T23:31:53.700-06:002015-01-06T23:31:53.700-06:00You sound like a girl after my own heart.

When I start to feel down a little I often read a good book, practice my piano or listen to fun music. Sometimes, I will call some friends or perhaps watch a comedy movie. I try not to stay down for long because I generally don't feel blue often. <br />Blessings for this one!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-28210165393312135942015-01-06T15:13:51.094-06:002015-01-06T15:13:51.094-06:00You are so lucky to see Cardinals!

I try to begin each day with a few things on my list to accomplish...the stuff that either must be done or is real important to me personally.
