Winter

And then it was winter.. :) all of a sudden the temperature dropped from 20C last week to -2 at night yesterday. And I love it!

Need no more than the beautiful change of the color of the leaves on the trees and the fresher than fresh air to make me thoroughly happy.

I love the sound of the cracking leaves under my feet when I walk Simba in the park. The intense happy feeling when I see the first Christmas lights appearing in the windows of the people living in this city. How everyone wears their winter coats and starts putting on gloves and scarves..

I can't wait for the snow to fall.. That first snowflake always lifts my heart and makes me want to shout it out with joy.

Not to mention buying a Christmas tree.. Call me old fashioned and traditional.. I couldn't care less. Don't give a damn about presents or all the food and definitely not the whole family crap.. But oh that tree.. Just the smell of the tree, the glow of the lights, I love it!

The best is when you wake up in the morning, look out the window and see that the world has turned into this beautiful white playground, where you can imagine what the world must have been like before humans started destroying its pure beauty for a little while.

Can't explain how cool it would be to be able to ice skate on natural ice once again.. Not that that's going to happen since I live in The Netherlands and well, you can hardly rely on our weather:)

Sigh.. You don't have to ask me how I feel about the winter kicking in;) I love it!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
