I love living in a place where we experience the changing of seasons. There are times that I wish it didn’t get so extreme – like 110 summer heat and -15 winter wind chills. But I enjoy the variety and I look forward to the changes. Fall is such a gorgeous season. Last week the leaves on the trees that line our street changed to the most beautiful reds, oranges and yellows. It was so pretty and we enjoyed being outside and playing in the leaves that had fallen. Not as much fun was raking the leaves up this week. Well – I should say not as much for Pat and I. The kids had a great time cannonballing into the leaf piles! I love the summer days at the pool and evenings spent sitting outside with a cocktail while the kids catch fireflies. I love spring days when everything is fresh and new and growing. I even love the winter. Sometimes it can seem that the cold hangs on a little too long. But I love the quiet that seems to descend on the world during heavy snowfall. I love sled riding, building a snowman and throwing snowballs. I love the traditions of cozying up with blanket and cup of hot cocoa to watch some classic Christmas cartoons.
There are things about each season that I love and I enjoy living in a place where I can experience them all.
