dear winter

dear winter,

i wanted to take the time to thank you for your sunny blue skies and extra nice weather.  i typically don't enjoy being outside this time of year, but because of you i have taken a liking to it.  early evening strolls by the train tracks, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa on an outside park bench...really it doesn't get much better.

i must say that my animals really love you as well.  sunshine through an open window is what they live for.

i know you don't get thank you's like this very often, because well...you're winter.  but i just thought i would let you know that this year, you are extra special.

XO, lindsay

p.s.  if you decide you need to send a little snow our way...i won't hold it against you!
