Like the rest of the world (or the rest of Saskatchewan, anyway) I’m very much anticipating warmer weather. I think even those who love winter (Brady) are fed up with the level of freezing we’ve experienced in thus far in 2019. The last coupe of days being within a reasonable temperature have me itching for the outdoors.
I can’t wait to pack up all our winter jackets, snow pants, and aaaaall the toques and mitts that litter our entrance.
I can’t wait to open the windows!
I can’t wait to wash that van without worrying that the doors will freeze shut.
I can’t wait to wear the cute shorts I wore all last summer, and get the kids into shorts and tshirts, too. And dresses! And sandals!
I can’t wait to have Brady’s new BBQ set up so we can grill everything, all the time. (If you remember, he got a brand new BBQ for fathers day, and then a hail storm destroyed it quickly thereafter. He had it replaced in the fall, but never set the new one up. That’ll happen in spring!)
I can’t wait to go for walks and play at the playground in the evenings.
I can’t wait for iced coffee!! The coffee we made for Wavy’s party might’ve been too strong for some, but we loved it and continued to brew it by the bucket all summer! Mmmmm!
I can’t wait for the kids to play with the water in the little pool on the deck. And for Wavy to be out there, too, likely chewing on a sand shovel and laughing at her siblings.
I can’t wait for outdoor church and outdoor town celebrations.
I’m excited to go back to Waskesiu.
I’m excited to be less cold!!
However…
for now, hiding inside in fleece jammies will have to do. There could really be much worse things that this.
For now, we soak in the sweatpants, comfort food, skating, snow hills, and hot drinks. For now… just now, though. Not for too much longer. Then the claws will come out…
