Timer on:
Respite. Winter is my respite. That must seem odd for some folk, but I enjoy the long winter nights with warm fires crackling in the fireplace, giving the living room a soft, warm glow. The respite is from gardening, mowing, weed-eating, bugs, ticks and never-ending weeds. Much as I love gardening, if I lived where it was warm and mild year-round I am know there would be far fewer gardens and fence rows to weed-eat.
I enjoy the seasonal work and rhythms of four seasons, and the respite that each one gives to the other. Inside winter projects are mostly fun and creative for me. Spring is now on it’s way. It is nearing time to switch gears and get back out with the plants and weeds. I have sure enjoyed my winter respite.
Timer off.

I too love winter but in a different way than you. Winter in the desert is all fun for me. As soon as we head to Pennsylvania for Summer… the work begins just like you! It’s the never ending weeding! Cutting grass I like… but when it’s twice a week, not so much!
Happy Last Day of February!
Winter in the desert I expect would be great! Thank you for stopping by, Nancy. 🙂
Those darn weeds never give us a break. 🙂
😂 They sure don’t, Judy! 🤣

I could have written this myself, Mitzy! I absolutely love winter for the reasons you mentioned – all the coziness that I get to enjoy, without regrets. Come spring – I love being outside, but it is a lot of WORK, especially with the WEEDS!!!!! Yes, I love winter’s respite. I have started some seeds in the greenhouse – so the time is about to begin – but I am still enjoying the snow that is slowly falling around us today 🙂
Isn’t it fun, Marilyn, enjoying the respite of winter! Already starting your seeds, how grand! I don’t have a greenhouse though I’d like one! What have you started? I’d love to see a post on your greenhouse (hint, hint😂). Our snow is gone, enjoy yours!
