Here is my advice (told to me): when in middle age & beyond. Get a really good winter coat. Spend some money. Then you won’t dread winter. As the s scandies say there is no bad weather. Also look forward to staying in and hygge.
Yes, another reader reminded me of the Swedish expression: Swedish parents say, 'there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes,' and that is so true. I have learned to love and "need" handwarmers, heated gloves and socks, heavy vests, and great coats!!!
You forgot cider and donuts. The smell of burning leaves, crunching them underfoot on a walk. The sun shining on a golden tree, the intensity of blue sky.
I don’t do anything pumpkin except pie on Thanksgiving or Jack O Lantern on
Halloween. I have always enjoyed every season so no angst about any of them.
How did I forget cider and donuts? Or, hot chocolate??!!! I am creating a comprehensive list of everything I've forgotten, and readers are providing great suggestions. Thank you for yours. Learning to love late winter is hard...but I am determined to find the joy in that season. xo
