A “Sense” of Enjoyment
The blog question asks me to write about the senses and winter. I guess the first one that comes to mind is that I feel cold. My feet are cold to the touch, my nose is cold to the touch. Of course, I could turn the heat up, but I hate paying the gas bill – I’m petitioning dh for a pellet stove. That brings me to the smell of winter – for me, I love the smell of wood burning in the fire. The taste of winter is any hot soup or stew. We hardly ever eat these foods in the summer, so I always look forward to a cold winter’s day for a comforting bowl of homemade noodle soup or beef stew. I’d have to say one of the sounds of winter is the wind tearing by the house. It just makes me glad I work indoors! Of course, my favorite sight in the winter is the lovely white snow! I’m from New England, but have been living in more southern climates, and I really love a good snowfall!
