As a holiday weekend comes to an end, nostalgia tugs at me. Labor Day is the end of summer. There still may be a brief stretch of hot days to come, but kids are at the bus stop, Halloween candy is on the shelves and leaves are covering my running trail.
Each year, summer seems to speed by more and more quickly. Barely have I settled into the warm-weather groove, than it's over with the quick shift to fall. I love fall, except that it's the prelude to winter. And winter is tough, long and cold.
So in an effort to put a positive spin on what's around the corner, here is my top ten reasons winter is good list.
1. You can put on jammies at 6 p.m. without looking like a crazy person.
2. The fleecy blanket recently bought at Costco will get lots of use.
3. Garbage doesn't smell before trash day.
4. Coats.
5. The smell of snow.
6. No more raking.
7. You can count shoveling as a cardio workout.
8. Snow days.
9. Bailey's Irish Cream.
10. Mashed potatoes.
