Yeah, you heard me. Winter is my bitch.
Typically Winter & I do not get along. I don't really enjoy being cold....or wet.....or effin' COLD. I usually spend most of the winter indoors trying to solve the puzzle of human hibernation. Until now.
This winter in the Niagara region we have been blessed (ha!) with copious amounts of snow. You can say that I was less than pleased....at first. This blustery winter season I have come to appreciate it, or at least fight back. This battle has been epic and ongoing for 25 years now, and every year winter kicks my ass. This year the tables have turned, winter! Take that!
It started innocently at first....walking to the corner store in a snow storm to avoid driving. Then it escalated after pushing SEVERAL cars out of snow drifts. What happens next is no less than earth shattering....
Yesterday night.....I went for a hike. In the snow. And it was MY idea. No shit.
I'm just as shocked as you are, but it looked so nice with the ankle-deep snow & the big fluffy flakes falling slowly....it was hypnotic. I had a blast. Once I started hiking I was going full tilt....up hills, down hills, through thickets....over fallen trees...and even falling in the snow while ascending a particularly steep slope. It was cold, but I didn't mind.
So bring it on winter.....I'm ready for you this time. You can huff & puff & blow the snow down, but it's not going to keep me cooped up inside. I've got far too much exploring to do.
