…winter is better than summer!
A foot of snow was forecast to fall here overnight last night...
So, yesterday, I split some more wood to toss in the back of the truck so I’ll have add’l weight and can run around on the county roads today playing in the foot of snow that we got overnight. Temps were in the teens all day here yesterday. I started off with a sweatshirt and stocking cap but had to get rid of those in short order. I worked for a couple of hours wearing only a light flannel shirt, t-shirt underneath, jeans and work gloves. It was quite comfortable and, actually, I still worked up a bit of a sweat (as you can see from my beautifully coiffed hair). I would’ve been miserable had it been 80 degrees. I love working outside in the winter, I absolutely hate it in the summer:
Then, this morning, the dogs get to take a walk in our first “real snow” of the year…they’re just like kids. Complete unbridled joy and excitement. It’s so fun to watch. Buddy’s specialty is making doggie snow angels:
.
And then, finally, once we’re done playing for a couple of hours and decide to come inside and warm up, there’s a batch of Tim’s kick-ass chili warming on the stove! Mmmmmmmmm…time for lunch!
And, for extra credit, a shot left over from last year. Another moment of relaxation after playing outside in the snow. I guess this one makes 2839 reasons why winter is better than summer!!!!:
Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!!!
