I like living in a place that has seasons. I think I would get very bored if the weather was the same year-round.
I do try to think about what type of activities would be fun to do during any given season.
Here is my list for this winter (and progress):
- Baking cookies (not yet)
- Wintery hikes through forest (sort of? went hiking on cold days but there wasn't any snow... will do again)
- Reading in front of the fireplace (have been doing this! but would like to do some read-aloud with kids)
- Family boardgames in front of the fireplace (so far, we played Q-Bitz, Cover Your Assets, Uno... Husband and son played chess. Hope we can play Carcassonne sometime soon.)
- Cross-country skiing (not yet... unlikely)
- Take kids downhill skiing (not yet)
- Sledding (two of our kids did this! One of the kids was home sick... I hope we'll get more snow so we can all go sledding next time!)
- Museums in Philly (Barnes Foundation in December... hope to go again)
Do you have favorite things to do during the cold months?
Winter months... Are my least favorite but I want to find the beauty in the quiet of a winter walk in a forest.
ReplyDeleteIn winter, I like to:
1. be in bed by 6:30PM and reading
2. a nice wintery walk, while bundled up of course
3. deep breathing- the icy air feels good in the lungs not sure why
4. Sunrises
5. Warm and hearty Russian dishes and soups
6. Hot black tea with heavy cram and sugar
7. Buns with melted butter.
