Winter is almost over. It’s always at the end of February that I start to get exasperated by the constant cold, my running nose, and total lack of sunshine. It is times like this that I have to remind myself of a few good things about winter.

Marveling at the neat things ice can do.This is totally new to me as a California girl.
Enjoying perfect curls without the frizz.
And taking advantage of the sunshine when it does come.

No matter how old I am, I will always love to jump in puddles.

I was puddle jumping yesterday!!! So fun! I also love being able to take Chloe out to play and not have her come back all dirty/muddy. Yay snow! :)
Thanks for reminding me that there are advantages! My favourite is probably winter sunshine; beautiful when it happens.
