Let me start off by saying; I LOATHE the winter. Hate fall. But, it's coming whether I like it or not, so today I started a list of good things about theae seasons, all I got was "Snowboarding."
Now- there HAS to be more good things about it and my brain is too biased to think of them. So- in an effort to have a good attitude for the next 6 months- I'd love to hear all of the things that you are excited about during the upcoming months. hope this thread helps someone besides me!!
Leaves changing colors
Cuddling up with my husband and cats on a cool night.
Humidity is down so not as many migraines.
Wearing my leather jacket and boots
Leather boots.
Sleeping in late and waking up all warm when the room is chilly.
Cold weather food.
Pumpkin everything.
Not having to use the air conditioner (Florida chick).
The way the air seems quieter.
Silly hats.
Knitting.
Wearing pants so I don't have to see my legs all the time.
My anniversary ( I know this doesn't help you).
New Year's Eve.
Many more I can't think of right now....
Pumpkin flavored things and the smell of people in my neighborhood burning wood in their fireplaces. I love fall but I hate winter. Oh, almost forgot! Haunted hayrides in the fall and watching my children open gifts on Christmas morning.

*The smell and sound of fallen leaves
*Apples
*Cinnamon
*Family get togethers
*Fire in the fireplace/woodstove
*Sitting on the couch with a warm beverage looking at the freshly fallen snow outside
*Looking at the outdoor decorations in the neighborhood (Halloween and Christmas lights for example)
*The way the world is quiet in the middle of winter - gives you time to think
-- the leaves changing to yellow, orange, gold, and wine red
-- the ducks & geese & snowbirds flying by
-- the cooler, crisp weather (nice for walks)
-- bonfires and fireplaces
-- warm fleecy blankets & comforters
-- books to read; puzzles to do
-- Thanksgiving (everything about it)
-- soups & stews & roasted everything
-- pretty, big, fat, fluffy snowflakes
-- Jack Frost on windows & trees
-- Christmas and Christmas lights
Fall;
The colors
The smells (crisp air has a certain smell to me..) pumpkin, burning wood
Homemade soups
Walks (try walking in 110 degree heat)
Halloween
the clothing. you just can't layer and wear boots in the summer.
cute coats - trenches, belted etc.
hot chocolate
summer is gone
I just love everything about fall. Really hating the summers lately, they're just getting unbearably hot.
Sweaters
Warm Blankets
Hiking through the fall colors and crisp air
Thanksgiving- healthy style (so many good fall veggies and turkey isn't bad for you either)!
The smells, sounds, colors of Fall! Halloween, all the new horror movies start coming out n the old ones being on t.v. the smell, sound and feel of bonfires, campfires, woodstoves, fireplaces. comfy jeans, boots, jackets (leather/suede of course). clean, clear, fresh air! longer walks, hikes. mornings, afternoons, evenings on the porch without bugs. Winter, ugh! i hate cold weather i could sleep right thru it! but i do love the way snow looks on a clear full moon nite, christmas lites shining on snow covered everything, playing in the 1st snow of season. the clean smell of fresh air!
