No, I don't miss winter

My parents had a snowy return to Illinois on Monday. (This is their front yard.) I really don't miss a traditional winter, all that shoveling, white knuckle driving on ice, and bundling up against cold, hard, wet winds.

Before I moved to Texas, I gave my snowshoes to Doreen, but I kept my cross-country skis. I do miss the kick and glide and the quiet of the woods while on the trail.

I enjoy our February weather. Morning runs in the 30s and 40s, with temps in the high 60s to low 80s in the late afternoon. If we don't get wind...and sometimes we do....the weather is mighty nice.
