Thursday Thirteen #Six: 13 Things it's possible to like about winter...

13 Not-So-Bad Things About Winter

Not being a winter person, it's hard to think of many, but there are still some things I love about the season:

1. flannel sheets - nothing better than crawling into nice warm ones on a cold winter night

2. quilts - and then snuggling under one of these

3. fleece throws - my sister-in-law made us the softest, warmest ones to ward off the chill

4. warm, cozy fires - ranks up there with flannel sheets for warmth

5. blankets of untouched snow - my backyard and the field behind my house are just glittery gorgeous before the critters - the 4- and 2-legged variety - leave their footprints all over

6. wet snow/ice on trees - I love when snow clings to the branches or ice freezes around them

7. soups - nothing warms my innards better than a hearty bowl of home-made soup - baked potato, taco, vegetable beef - good stuff

8. red Isotoner gloves - my favorite pair with my winter white coat

9. fuzzy sweaters - the soft, warm ones

10. turtlenecks - layered under a sweater or shirt

11. Christmas decorations/greenery - bright red bows on dark evergreen branches and holly

12. cardinals and snow - nothing says winter like that flash of bright red on brilliant white snow

13. mulled cider - with cinnamon stick, allspice, cloves, a dash of nutmeg and bit of brown sugar simmering in a crock pot ... mmm, yummy
