Winter

"Winter" 

I am joining some other blogging forums as well. This entry is from a prompt in Welcome To My Reality (WTMR). The prompt asked "How do you feel about winter"? To be honest I hate winter. It has never brought me much of anything but hardship and misery. When I was a child i lived in houses that heated with wood stoves. I was the oldest of nine children. We were much too poor to buy wood. besides we lived on a 198 acre farm so we had an unlimited supply. I didn't mind cutting wood in the summer but hated doing so in the winter. I remember hundreds of occasions when my toes were so cold they were numb and my pants were frozen clear up to my hips. It seemed that no matter we rolled the wood down the hill it always ended up wet. The wet wood and often snow would soak one's clothing. In freezing temperatures that spelled disaster. Thus I came to hate winter.
