Yesterday I had to go to town early at least for me. 9 am LOL. I walked out the door and something white was flying around, I said to myself this is not what it looks like, after all it was just yesterday spring was here. But lo and behold it was that dreaded white stuff called snow. I shivered as I got into a cold car and thought back to those days of summer. Oh how I loved to come out early in the morning and drink a cup of hot coffee and sit on the back porch basking up the hot sun. Why I didn't even mind if I had an early errand to run.
My husband Dean leaves every morning at 5 am for work and back a few years ago he never complained about the cold. Of course he was born and raised in Shady Valley which is in the mountains. Now that age is catching up with him he seems to want to dress warmer and complains a bit more about the cold, now me I have always hated cold weather. Give me 90 and a beach and I know I am in heaven. Of course there is one time I love snow and that is at Christmas, my favorite time of year.
Can you remember when you were a child going shopping at Christmas when the snow was flying and the stores were crowded but you didn't mind the cold or the crowds. The Salvation Army was out ringing the bells and people selling mistletoe on the street corners. Weren't those the good ole days. Of course I have never grown up, I still believe in Santa Claus!
I have finished most of my Christmas shopping and will start making my candy and cakes soon. Wow maybe I'm not as old as I thought I was. Since I started talking about Christmas I'm ready to get out my decorations. If I keep talking I will have my tree up by suppertime.
What is your favorite season and why?

You must be kin to your brother. He won't stick his nose out the door if it gets below 50 degrees. Today he had the heat on in the living room and the air conditioner on in the bed room. I like the colder weather and can't wait for the first snow.... I love all of the seasons and would hate to live where I couldn't see the changes. But I will have to say, Spring is my favorite. There's just something about it that renews my soul. And that's why I love Spring. Enjoyed reading your post!
Awww....I just now saw the picture of you, your Mom and Bill. That is so good. Good Memories!!!!!
