Here you see the trail in the middle of winter. I love winter and cold weather.

1. Winter doesn’t have pesky insects. I know some insects are important for the ecosystem. I just don’t like them invading my home or feeding on me.
2. Summer is too hot. I can’t live without summer, but I could live without its heat. I’m not a summer person. Winter and colder weather suits me much better.
3. Winter is beautiful. The pristine whiteness that covers everything brings an undeniable beauty no other season can match.
4. With colder weather, you can layer up to stay warm. With summer’s heat, you can’t take enough layers off to remain cool.
5. Winter has wonderful sports and activities. As a child I loved to ice skate, sled, spend the day outside until my nose was rosy and my toes were cold. Even then, I didn’t want to go inside. Today, I can’t enjoy those activities anymore, but I can enjoy a good snowfall or blizzard. I can also watch others enjoy their favorite sports through the various winter sports and Olympics.

Winter and cold weather truly is my favorite time of year. People keep telling me I will stop enjoying it because I’m older and snow and ice are not friendly to seniors. However, I know how to dress and walk with care for my surroundings. Winter will always be the most enjoyable time of the year.
