Winter

I am going to apologize ahead of time, because this post will be a bit negative..........
Things I don't like about winter:
I don't like being cold. I don't like feeding the horses or going to the barn in the cold, or dark. I don't like when it is dark so early. I don't like scraping ice off the cars, the decks or anything else. I don't like breaking ice out of the water buckets or the water trough (did I spell that correctly??).
I realize the four seasons are needed, but the fact remains that I just don't like winter. The only time winter is just a little bit enjoyable is when you can seld in the snow. And when you do have snow it can be very pretty. But snow is like a double edge sword.....it can be very dangerous too. I do not trust other drivers in the snow, and especially not in the ice. Most people in this part of the country do not know how to drive on the stuff and don't care to learn. So the consequence is tons of wrecks, people in ditches, tons of people stranded on the side of the road and taking forever to get just a few miles down the road.
Now that I have that off my chest.....
I am very grateful for:
The ability to work from home in bad weather, a warm house and people who have to get out in the bad weather and will check on me to see if I need anything. There is no replacement for true friends.
