Ah, snow days. Delightful, serene snow days.
Tropical climates are fun and all for a week’s vacation, but it’s a snowy landscape amidst the brilliant blue sky that leaves me shivering with rapture.
...and with cold….
But I like the cold!
Summertime is magical. Fireflies in the trees, the aroma of honeysuckle in the air, and the nocturnal symphony playing from sunset to sunrise together make summer nights...so....beautiful.
I love sitting outside in the dark, just listening to the crickets play strings and the frogs and owls sing their hearts out. Taking in deep breaths of the cool humid air, practically tasting the aroma of flowers on my tongue. Watching cats slink by. They think they're ninjas and that no one can see them! If only nights lasted longer in the summer.... I'm not exactly a sun-worshiper.
I love my winters. (The snowier the better!) There's something so poetic and enchanting about wearing long wool coats and scarves, sitting by the fire, sitting in a coffee shop sipping a chai latte as you watch the snow fall outside...
Parties are more festive (not necessarily holiday-related). Snuggling into a fleece blanket (even better if there's someone else under that blanket with you), admiring glassy icicles, seeing how the snow sparkles under the light, enjoying the absolute silence following a blizzard....*sigh*
Beautiful.

aaa I agree with you! Snowy landscapes are really calming and soothing for the soul! Well, maybe not when there´s -10 outside;-)
