Even though winter is technically over, it still feels like winter here in New England. Now is my last opportunity to think of those things I want to make the best of before winter’s long nap. Here is my list. I am sure there are more things, but I can always add those later, right? What would you add to the list?

• the refreshing warmth of hot drinks
• snow
• pumpkin pie
• the serene silence of the outdoors
• the ability to keep cold food on the porch
• the lack of aroma when passing the trash bin outside
• Christmas
• the blazing sunset behind bare trees
• indoor family time (like boardgames)
• my winter wardrobe
• the smell of wood smoke
