Well, it’s about time for the inevitable, isn’t it?

November 13, 2007 - Tuesday

I drove home (at 6:45 pm) with my sunroof open! Today was a deliciously sunny and warm day. I believe that, although I spent most of it inside, it was my day to say goodbye to the summer/fall. I went to my fountain. I walked more than a mile outside. I wore a tank top outside. It was perfect.

In my quest to be more optimistic, I would like to welcome winter with some good thoughts. (But not, however, without a warning to Mother Nature: I can handle the warm days in February, but please! no 60 degree days in December. Don't toy with my emotions when you have four months of cruelty left in you.)

These are a few of my favorite things about winter: red wine, hats!!!, no more need to explain why I'm not tan, cooking without sweating, wool socks, Netflix, hot cocoa, that weird silence during a snowfall, and my parents dog helping shovel snow (if I get to see it) like this:
