Winter questions stolen from Swap Bot
    How do you get past the gray skies during winter?   I don't want to get past them. I want to enjoy them. I look at things like this:  Summer skies are mostly sunny and even spring and fall are mostly sunny and warm. It's lovely to have  a change of scenery.. silver skies, not gray. White landscape. Silver and white are gorgeous together. When other seasons come you are ready to enjoy them as well. How great  it is to bundle up in wonderful warm coats and hats and scarves and a pair of lovely boots.  And when you come inside you are happy to be warm, happy to have a hot drink and meal, happy for a furnace or fire. You appreciate the indoors so much where you can be cozy and warm.  

   Do you like snow? Why or why not?
Oh, yes. It's a gift to condition soil.. to help plants grow in spring and it is so beautiful. If people learn to get around in it, and it is quite possible, there isn't too much of a problem. It gives children the joy of sledding, skating, snowmen and snowball fights.  

    What are your favorite activities to do during the winter?
Before I was disabled, they included skating and sledding and just running around in the snow in the yard.  And I love taking photos of the winter snow.  Now I am content to look at it and sometimes walk in it and of course sit in the garden and enjoy it.

    What does a perfect winter day look like to you?
Silver sky, whitened landscape, icy, blustery winds and glowing pink cheeks.

      What are your favorite meals/food you enjoy eating during the winter?
Chili, Irish stew,Rumbledethumps,  Colcannon, Italian foods.

    What is your favorite winter holiday and why?
I love the Christmas/Chanukah season with all the joy and lights. I love seeing everyone's houses lit up and looking so joyous and inviting.

    What is your favorite pizza flavor and toppings. Cheese pizza with mushrooms and roasted red peppers. There is a great kosher place where the pizza is some of the best I ever had. Just so good...!!!

 

    What are some items in your daily bag/ backpack.   In my purse: wallet, card holder, comb, tissues, lipstick.

 
    Your favorite snacks. Celery, carrots,almonds, peanut butter, apple, popcorn with no salt.

    Some foreign countries that you would like to visit  Wales , Tahiti, Portugal  

 

    What things that remind you of home

Kitchen scents, clean shiny floors, homemade afghans,pillows, tin ceilings in kitchen, Victorian woodwork, stained glass windows, needlepoint on chairs.

    If you have one, some items from your Amazon Wish list   I don't have an Amazon wish list. I don't like Amazon or anything to do with it. It makes people anti-social ("I hate crowds and people")    We are becoming an insular people who lack in social ability and getting along with others because people don't like  interacting with others anymore. Pretty soon friends, you will not find  many places to shop anymore.  It will soon be only Amazon and  that ilk etc. And you will be forced to buy cheap, shoddy foreign made products at very high prices.  Prices will soar once the competition is gone. As for a general non Amazon list: 1. a new roof 2. new sink and counter in kitchen because this one is just destroyed 3 money for garden plants this spring.

    What was your favorite Christmas gift? My favorite gifts for any time of year  are always what children made or bought for me.  

 Stop by again on Monday.
