What is your favorite part of Winter? I love to knit on cold mornings. I love the smell of the crisp, clean air. I love fresh fallen snow and drinking a hot cup of coffee with a fresh bagel or pastry in the morning. I would love to say snuggling with my honey, but alas I have no one in my life at the moment. Sad face.....

The day after a snow fall. The snow is so messy and I have to go back to work. Okay we really don't get that much snow but I love when we do.
Well...that is me in a nutshell.
