Winter bleh
I hate winter (still).  Everyone asks me if it is the snow or the cold.... my answer is 'yes!'.  I hate being cold...as a Texan I can handle high humidity and high heat but not so much cold temperatures.  There is nothing worse than not being able to feel your nose or toes or fingers (though all are appropriately covered).  I spend most winter evenings sitting on my couch with the electric blanket I received for Christmas (thanks MOM!!).  The snow just makes barn chores 5x's more difficult.  It's like working in sloppy sand.  Walking, pushing the wheelbarrows, trying to move the animals takes way too much energy.  We separated the calves last weekend.  It went very well.  So now they are all up in the barn and ready to load...first come, first pick :)....  I crave spring.  But until then, I stock up on hot cocoa and marshmallows and putter on.
