Winter Whimsy

How was your weekend? Cold, if you live here in the UK! Here’s an apt new limerick challenge for the start to this week:

SNOW

In winter, when snow starts to fall,
It blankets the earth, covering all.
With laughter and cheer,
We build snowmen near,
And sled down the hills with a call!

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you like snow? I like snow in small increments, and luckily, I live somewhere where I can do that.
2. Did you build a snowman as a child and dress it with coal eyes, a carrot nose, etc.? When I was able to go to the mountains when there was snow, I did build a snowman, but I did not dress it up because the trips were last minute, and we didn’t bring snowman-building supplies, lol.
3. Did you have snowball fights? Yes, there was one time when my sister and brothers were old enough to indulge in a snowball fight.
4. Did you have a sleigh? Unfortunately, no, I do not.

Gratitude:

Cold Weather

How do you feel about cold weather?

The cold weather and I have a love-hate relationship. I’m drawn to the serene beauty it brings, especially when it blankets the landscape with snow. Engaging in winter activities like building snowmen and having snowball fights fills me with joy. However, the bitter coldness is something I could do without! Despite this, I’m grateful to live in California where the frigid temperatures are rare. If I ever long for a winter wonderland, a quick trip to the mountains can easily remedy that.
