Aside from lots of frigid temperatures, icy roads and sometimes scary driving, winter can be a really good thing. Here's why:
- The winter gives me an opportunity to re-charge. There's no way I could sleep past 5:00 am in the summer!
- I'm not entirely sure that I would even like to garden year-round. Would I get sick of it?
- I can finally organize all those photos I took last summer on my laptop.
- There are no snakes, bugs, or insects, except for that stray box elder bug that somehow made its way into the kitchen.
- When it gets dark so early, I can enjoy TV without thinking I should be doing something else. Tangent...I recently watched a most bizarre documentary called 'Grizzly Man.' It was about this activist who lived alongside wild grizzly bears in Alaska for thirteen summers.
- Winter is a great catch-up time to complete all the to-do's I put on the back-burner during the nice weather.
- Finally - I have sustained anticipation for spring gardening in April. And you'll have to admit that sometimes anticipation can be the best thing of all.
