Thursday Thirteen Winter

February28

Thirteen Things about why I put up with winter. 1. The cold temperatures kill germs. 2. The yard does not have to be mowed and I know my bulbs are underneath the ground getting ready to make an appearance. 3. My Rite Aid stock goes up from people buying cold medication. (Not that it makes me happy, just that it helps me put up with winter.) 4. A fresh snowfall looks beautiful on my trees and reminds me that God is in control. 5. I get to wear all of my sweaters that I put away for the summer. 6. I get caught up on books I received for Christmas. 7. We eat lots of yummy soup. 8. My fingernails look halfway decent because I am not digging in the dirt. 9. I don’t have to keep up with watering all the flowers I plant. 10. The mailman brings the mail to my door and saves me from having to walk down to get it. 11. I have more time to sew. 12. I get to wear my warm boots. 13. My favorite shows are on again.

   The cold isn’t killing the germs here! The high school announced that 21% of the kids were absent on Monday. My azaleas are yearning for some warmth!!!

   The grass is always greener … we live in Hawaii and my kids are dying to visit their grandpa who lives in Colorado and calls to complain about the snow.

   I’m so glad it doesn’t get that cold in Florida! As much as snow is pretty, I enjoy 70 degree days in the middle of January and February.

   #10 must be great .

   I wish we could get our guy to bring the mail up when it’s cold — instead, the mail’s just really late.

    I love your list, and #8 made me laugh! (because I know how much you enjoy digging in the dirt!)

    Oh, I guess the cold killing germ theory isnt working! Lots of people are sick here.

12. On February 29th, 2008 at 11:59 am Karen Says:

    Oh, I dream of living in Hawaii! I hear the prices are expensive. Is that true?

13. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:00 pm Karen Says:

    I too am sick of winter. I am trying to be positive though. Who am I fooling!

14. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:00 pm Karen Says:

    LOL I was afraid it would sound greedy and insensitive.

15. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:01 pm Karen Says:

    My daughter lives in Florida and I could sure move in with her and be happy!

16. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:02 pm Karen Says:

    We’ve talked about putting up a bigger mailbox but then the mailman might not bring me the mail as often as he does now. I’d hate to mess up a good thing.

17. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:03 pm Karen Says:

    Thanks Nissa. I’m heading off to read your list.

18. On February 29th, 2008 at 12:04 pm Karen Says:

    Ha. I should have thought of that one. I am always standing on the porch to get cooled down.
