Once again I find myself defending winter
. I LOVE winter, love everything about it - even the almost full month of Jan and so far through Feb with most days in the single digits and/or below zero. I shoveled snow three times yesterday (only about an inch each time though) and was hoping for more last night. Going to an Ice Fishing festival today and can't wait to get out on the ice - even though I don't fish. Although I am looking forward to spring and starting my garden, I actually will be sorry to see winter go. But from the looks of the weather forecast I won't have to worry about that too soon. Love, love, love winter.
