The months of December, January, and February are hard on me. Actually December isn't that bad because it goes by fast because of the holidays, but January and February just linger on and on and on. I mainly don't like them because of the extremely short days and the cold. I really dislike having to close my blinds at 4 p.m. and not having any daylight until after 8 a.m. And to have bitter cold just makes it so much worse.
I have really enjoyed this winter! We have made it through both December AND January with all but about two bitterly cold days and no more than 4" of snowfall in any one given day. These 30-40 degree days are spoiling me. Earlier in the month when it reached a balmy 52 degrees, we went outside to play. We played with sidewalk chalk and blew bubbles! I would have never imagined doing that in January.
Now we're into February and it looks like this weather is going to continue. Once we hit March, I consider that the light at the end of the tunnel so as far as I'm concerned, we just need to get through three more weeks of winter and then we will enter the tunnel! I'm so excited for spring - especially now that I'm not working.
In your wildest dreams, would you have ever thought it was possible to see a hornet flying around on January 10 which happens to be the deepest, darkest days of the winter? Ironically, I was just telling Meredith that we didn't have to worry about bugs when we play outside in January. And then this thing decided to interrupt our play time. I bet he wishes he never came out of hibernation.
