Winter – Fun or Not

When you think of winter travel do you think of escaping to the beaches and sun or do you think of speeding down the slopes or gliding across the ice? The past couple of storms have managed to dump a number of inches if not feet of snow on just about all of us in the United States. Usually, this time of year I’m ready to pull my hair out as I beg just to see light from the sun. This year I’m doing my best to get outside and enjoy the beauty of the season change. With 27 inches of snow I’m doing my best not to curl up in front of the fireplace every day.

Our 2 rescue dogs just love the snow. I get so much joy watching them gallop through the snow and roll around. I’m happy to say I actually had to take my sunglasses with me on our hike the other day. Getting outside daily whether it’s to take the dogs on a hike or to shovel the driveway has made this winter bearable. What do you do during the winter months?
