Fires are nice, but not very energy efficient, nor "green." Mother nature will be done with winter on her own schedule and I'll have to wait patiently.

Still Winter
Winter can be really great, it's fun to play in the snow (if you're dressed warm), it's peaceful to watch the snow fall (if you're dressed warm or watching from inside), and winter makes you appreciate the other seasons even more. But sometimes, I just can't embrace winter - I feel like this tree, frozen and waiting for a thaw.

After living in Minnesota for a while, and our young family was growing up. I looked for some way to embrace the winters. We tried skating, tobogganing and then something that I knew little about. Cross country skiing. In the early 70’s we rented some skies and went to a North Star Ski Club event where they introduced the sport to whoever was interested. I became a cross country enthusiast. Winters became short. I looked forward to long snowy cold winters. Maybe not the rest of the family so much but they all did ski. Ann skied on the Jefferson High School team, Todd did long solo skiing and winter camping trips. Kind of scares me now when I think about it. Matt still skies but needs to do more of it. Mom was a good sport and has skied along with me for forty years.
