Not Ready for Winter

I work in Muskoka a few days a month. It always amazes me how many Muskokans absolutely love winter. They snowmobile and ice fish and snowshoe and really relish snow.
I wish I could feel that way. I keep thinking maybe I just need to buy down filled coats and furry mittens and big hats and waterproof pants and fuzzy boots and embrace it because it lasts so bloody long. So far, I have failed miserably at the endeavour.
I always look forward to spring. I love love love long lazy summers! Fall is the most beautiful season, crisp and cool and colourful. But I HATE WINTER!
