It's getting cold outside. I checked the weather this morning and it showed that it was twenty degrees, but felt like it was ten. It's an exciting time. I think that I have always enjoyed the cold. I know that as an adult, I prefer the cold to warm or hot weather. With cold weather, you can bundle up. Put on a heavy coat, a scarf, gloves, hat, etc. When it starts to get hot outside, you just walk around in shorts and short sleeve shirts. There is no way to walk around with a portable A/C unit in your pocket (or is there.....).
One thing that I have noticed in the early mornings when it is cold outside is that everything just sounds different. It's quiet but there is something weird about the quietness. I can't really explain it, but everything is just that, different. There's something in the air when it is cold outside and I love every second of it.
I love putting on a heavy coat, a wool hat and scarf. I love having just a little slit to look through in between the hat and scarf. Just that little bit that reminds me of a cartoon character that gets shooed out the door by their mom as they have to walk to school in a blizzard.
The one thing above all else is that makes it great when it is cold outside is being in your own house and kicking back in a pair of sweatpants and a hooded sweatshirt. It's great coming home from a long day of work and relaxing on a couch with your favorite sweats and grabbing a beer or a scotch and putting your feet up in your slippers and just letting it all go.
