I already miss summer.

This year I like winter much more than I used to. They seem more tolerable here than in Arkansas. The snow is fluffier, it's not as grey and depressing, and we have a fireplace and cozy apartment, but it still gets dark at 5:30 p.m. and leaves me with little to no outside time or sunshine each day, which makes me a very cranky girl.

I just want to pit cherries on my covered porch and have some sweet tea in the sunshine.

I guess I'll settle for hot cocoa by the fire.
