I'm easing back into the Thursday Thirteen groove with a gentle post, this week:
Thirteen Things I Love About Winter
So let's jump right in, eh?

  1. Snuggles. Need I say more?
  2. Not sweating when I walk to and from work - no matter how much I'm bundled up!
  3. Hot milky tea and a slice of panettone (Italian Christmas cake/bread/numminess). Soooooo good...
  4. Wearing a hat and gloves and scarf and boots and a big ol' coat...
  5. Snow. The sight of it falling, the muffling of sound as it falls. Unless I have to drive in it, this gives me a distinct feeling of peace and contentment.
  6. Long nights. I like the darkness. I feel more energized and creative when the nights are longer.
  7. Hearty meals. I love a thick stew or pot of soup, or a particular pasta dish served at one of my favorite restaurants, here. I can only eat these things in the winter, though.
  8. A fire in the fireplace.
  9. The way the light falls at around four p.m.
  10. The blackness of trees in a snowy landscape.
  11. The tops of the mountains when they're covered with fresh snow.
  12. Spying animal tracks in the snow.
  13. Marrying my husband after a snowstorm. Okay, technically, I could only do this one time, but if I could, I'd do it again and again and again...



Now, I know I'm out of practice, but I promise, I didn't forget.










You know the drill, ladies... Scroll on down...


















In spite of my love for winter, I didn't forget the eye candy - and he isn't bundled up!
















At least he keeps his jeans clean, eh?

Ciao for now! :)

I am not a winter fan. I don't like being cold, I don't like the inconvenience of snow. But it's pretty.

And so is the eye candy. yum.

Fireplace, winter, I was going to say something about those, but now I can think is, "shower"

And here I am longing for warm weather. Although snuggles - particularly with a guy in a shower....

I like the *look* of fresh snow. But being out in it, bleh. Nice eye candy though. That's good ANY time of the year

I much prefer summer, but cuddles are nice any time.

Here in the south, we rarely ever get a winter, so I enjoy the cold weather when we have it. :) Happy Thursday!

I like winter, I just wish it didn't go on so long sometimes. I completely agree with you about snow - watching it is amazing and peaceful, but driving in it not so much - and fires in the fireplace. I should get some more logs before it gets too warm. Happy Thursday!

I am not a winter fan, although I do love the winter wear and getting to drink hot chocolate and tea all the time.

Your eye candy....well, that gives a whole new meaning to winter snuggles now, doesn't it? My 13 is listed below my Thursday Thunks...scroll down a bit on my blog entry. It's all about odd surnames and their origins today ---like Suess, etc. Here they are; I'm going through the Mr. Linky right now, so if you've stopped by already and I didn't know.......thanks for the visit.
