Winter season is here once again.

A time when we can enjoy building up a fire in the fireplace

 then kick back and enjoy the warmth.

 It is pleasant to listen to the north wind howling outside,

just as long as we can be inside out of it's reach.

 The rain that comes down by bucketfuls is also a soothing sound

 when you retire for the night,

and you lay there awake for a while

 listening to the downpours,

and sometime one can hear the screaming

of the cold north wind's howl.

I live her in a southern state

 and we don't get much snow,

but accasionally we do get some

and how very pleasant it is to see.

 Winter season is a good time,

a time that only our creator can bring about,

after all we can soon look forward to Springtime,

 it will be around in only a few months.

Meanwhile let's enjoy what we have,

if it bring snow, maybe you enjoy making snow men,

 or throwing snow balls.

 It's great to be alive.
