I like the kind of snowy days like we had last winter-beautiful in the morning but melting by afternoon. I took lots of pictures and enjoyed it while it lasted. I like the way a day or two of cold are interrupted by a few days that are warmer. I can't tell you when I have worn my winter coat last. I wear sweatshirts or sweaters. I always laugh because if the temp is over 55 and the sun in shining when you go somewhere you will see someone in shorts.

Northerners wore hats, gloves, big coats, etc. Southerners wore sweaters and just ran from the house to the car. I just laughed because it is so true. But oh the joy of a snowfall in the South. Everyone runs to the grocery store to stock up even though we know the snow will be gone the next day.

I love winter and snow, but it is danger for my son to drive, misery for my arthritus, obstacles for the elderly, and scary in the double digits below zero!! But your Soutgern cold looks and sounds magical.

Would love to visit the north during the winter..but only for a short period. It really must become a struggle to endure the bitter cold day after day. Thank you for the kind words about our beloved South. So happy to have you here .Jenny S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03215140632305122541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582451086146217677.post-63167735054454463322014-11-29T20:08:59.939-08:002014-11-29T20:08:59.939-08:00I couldn't agree with you more Cielo. I think ...I couldn't agree with you more Cielo. I think winter is beautiful when it's in a Thomas Kinkade painting that you can stare at dreamily for a few moments and think, Oh I wish I could live there! But then you return to reality and are relieved that you live where you live, Having grown up in Southern California I only ever experienced (mild) snow three or four times on camping trips to the mountains. That was enough for me. I guess I'm wimpy when it comes to cold. Where I live now, we have 70-80 degree weather year round and only the occasional 60 something day when I have to make a mad dash for the sweaters and knit scarves before we freeze to death.

I love the pictures of the snow and winter night sky, awash with a thousand stars. It does seem other worldly. I can remember looking at winter pictures you posted from the house in the roses and how beautiful it looked with you outside in your garden of white. I look at that kind of winter as something lovely and magical, but then I don't have to live in it and I don't think I would want to. My idea of winter is temps in the 60's when its cold enough to build a nice cozy fire but there are days of warmth from the winter sun too.<br />Its so good to hear you have found your happiness La Reina del Sol.<br />Sherry SHERRYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287372955609491433noreply@blogger.com
