Our 7 year old Granddaughter had a sledding accident yesterday and ended up in the Emergency Room..........

On the way, she said "I don't like snow anymore......next year I want it for XMas but it can melt right after".

Gotta Love that GIRL...!

Uhm, winters might be bad there, but do you realize somebody stole most of your bike??? Only the wheel is still hanging up there on the hooks!!!

Winter sucks. I've seen all the seasons I need to know that summer is the best.

I hated winter enough to give it up.

Was out on the bay today in a boat, wearing shorts, t-shirt, and sandals.

It's an old wheel that isn't worth a darn. I need to cut the spokes out to keep the hub and trash the rest. There are quite a few wheels hanging around the house - avid cyclist with 4 bikes (Redline, Bianchi, Colnago, Cervelo).

I hate the winters here in MA. I probably won't drive the car until April. I last time I drove it was Thanksgiving Day, that's about 4 months to be garaged. The spring time here with the rain and pollen will also limit the times that I can drive the car. I want to move south.

I hate the winter. I can just about handle it up through the holidays because there is lots going on, but thinks take a turn for the worse once January arrives.
To beat it, we always plan a vacation for President's week when the kids are off from school. It gives me something to look forward to and when we come back it is usually pretty close to March 1st and the worst is over. March can be a lousy month too, but at least every once in a while we get a nice early spring day to look forward to. This year is the exception because President's week is early so I'll have to wait a week or so for March to arrive after we get back.
