While almost everyone else is wishing away this season,
longing for spring, I'm hoping for a little more winter!
I haven't had my fill of ice and snowflakes!
Sweaters and woolly socks...
Boots and mittens...
Hot baths and extra hand lotion...
Comfort food and hot chocolate...
Sepia landscapes and suet filled feeders...
Dark cozy evenings and extra quilts...
And I could go on and on!
Anyone else with me?

Sounds romantic but the realization of being very cold and damp doesn't appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteI like the feeling of cozy but my gas and electric bill say nope.
Sorry for the downer...
I do love your setting with the solitary earring picture and the white bird, that definitely is a unique masterpiece.
You don't have to be cold and damp....dress appropriately and stay inside. haha. Besides, you live in Cali...what do you know about a proper winter? lol. :)
DeleteWell, I'm not ready for winter to be over quite yet......but in about 4 weeks I will be. When the end of January comes I start counting weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou and I live where there are four proper seasons. :) It seems crazy to wish winter away..it's just as beautiful...maybe more so than, say, summer! haha. I start to get spring fever in early April..but there's still a chance of snow then!
DeleteGood luck to you... but try not to send any more my way.
ReplyDeleteIf only I had that power. :)
DeleteAll I can say is. . . ! ! !
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should move to the Mother Country, where we get 11 months of winter a year, then you can wear woolies and your pink wellies most of the time. Ha!
You don't get a proper winter either. It's too mild and rainy!
DeleteBetter than snow though.
DeleteI hate rain about as much as you hate snow! :)
DeleteI hate rain and snow . . . you'd never think I was made out of water . . :)
DeletePig!
ReplyDeleteYou are very wrong. The ones I know are very charming and nice . . . silly man!
ReplyDeleteCan't agree with you on this occasion. Perhaps you should have been an Eskimo . . . lol
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for warmth and sunlight oozing oodles of lovely vitamin D. . . . makes me come alive again . . . :)
Just pop a Vitamin D pill each day and you'll be fine. haha.
DeleteAnd like I told Keith...you have no idea what a proper winter is. :)
Proper winter? . . . I think I shall just take your word for it . . . . (It is a lot warmer . . lol) . . :)
DeleteYes! I remember one time we were chatting and you said it was freezing there. I looked up the weather in Bristol and it was 50 degrees. :)
Deletelol . . . must have just donated a pint of blood . . . :)
DeleteOh, is that what it was? :)
DeleteThis guy invades the comments sections of blog after blog. He seems to think his own experiences are the same as everyone else's.
ReplyDeleteWe have had no winter to speak of and I really miss it. Maybe there's still a chance.
ReplyDeleteI love your wintry list and the sweet tableau.
Exactly. Only one really proper snow and it didn't last long enough!
DeleteI bet we get more, though...it's only February!
We have had little snow and cold weather. I miss it! We have had one snow day and I need at least three more!
ReplyDeleteSo true...we haven't had nearly enough snow days! And for us to have a snow day, it has to be really, really bad. We had a wind chill day and that's it!
DeleteYou make winter sound much more appealing! But I'm still ready for Spring. :)
ReplyDeletehaha....everyone has forgotten that winter is charming, beautiful and all around wonderful!
DeleteI hate to see everyone just long for it to go away. I'd take winter over summer any day! haha.
I'm in the minority, I know! :)
I'd delete your rant, but the replies are just too priceless! So, I'll just say that you don't know me. I'm not fat, I'm a great cook, I can clean and I have four kids. I'm intelligent, responsible and not disgusting at all. I'm a business owner, independent and have probably worked in more dangerous situations than you ever will. So get the hell off my blog!
ReplyDeleteThis poor excuse for a man has posted the same thing on numerous ladies blogs, If you report him to Blogger.com maybe they can do something. He's even given you a link to his blog page!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen his posts for years and years. Obviously, he hasn't found his lovely international woman or he'd be living the good life with her and not still posting this.
ReplyDelete...and during the Super Bowl to boot! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen this comment quite a few times before.
ReplyDeleteIf you are still reading you poor mistaken man let me tell you that this lady is non of the things you accuse her. I can say there is no lady on Earth who is the complete opposite of what you say. We all love her . .
Aw, Ed. Watch out...your chivalry is showing! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Silver, I agree....the generalizations are a little silly.
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not with you but I do appreciate your positive, embracing attitude.
ReplyDeleteWe live in Texas where - thank goodness- we don't get much winter. :)
You certainly don't! Maybe if you had a real snowy winter, you'd think differently? No? haha.
DeleteHi Betsy - no thank you ... but I can quite see your love of all things winter. I love the four seasons though ... cheers and enjoy a week of 'cold' ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteI love the four, too...all different and beautiful. I'm glad I live somewhere where each is distinctively different.
DeleteBetsy, not me sorry ;-).
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for spring, light clothing, warmer temperature and blooming trees.
Love
Blooming trees....ah, my allergies. haha.
DeleteOur winter has been mild so far! But i am looking forward to spring and summer. I miss my flip flops.
ReplyDeleteWell, you got me there...I do love my flip flops, too!...the best thing about warm weather!
DeleteWith you?
ReplyDeleteDo you hear me boo?
That would be a no
I'll be glad when there is no more snow lol
Without snow it would be bland
Deleteespecially in your land
where you are known for cold and snow
even more than us below! lol.
YES!
ReplyDeleteI try to never wish away, the season I find myself in.
It's too much like wishing time/life, away.
Cooool new Header pic!

I totally agree! Everyone is mourning away their winter, pining for spring. Finally, someone as crazy as me! haha.
DeleteI'm famous in my family for saying about the middle of March that I want just one more snow. I love baseball but am a winter person. Figure that one out, lol.
ReplyDeleteI do admit that I don't like the bitter cold temps. Right before Christmas we had a weekend of -9 for lows and only 3 for daytime highs. Thankfully that only happens a few times each winter here in north central Missouri.

Not really a fan of winter - too dark and we don't get much snow here anyway. But you make it sound lovely so I'll take your version.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree 100%. Love to be cozy, settled in my home; it makes me feel so good!
