If you remember, in 2024 Kyle White and I made a little coloring book to celebrate the arrival of the periodical brood cicadas that would be emerging.
Well, we are back at it again this winter with a coloring book made to celebrate out love for Winter. We have bonded before about our love for Winter, when it seems that everyone else groans and gets angry if you mention your affection for snow. This coloring book is a celebration of Winter! You can download it here, and print it out from home.

I will admit, this was a year where I actually REALLY enjoyed summer, LOVED it in fact. And because of that, for a first that I can remember, I was a bit nervous about heading into Fall (my absolute favorite season) and Winter. This would be my first time being off work/working from home during these months, and I was afraid if that might change something in me. Would I fall into seasonal depression, would I suddenly grow to despise the cold, would I get cabin fever? I remember being outside for a walk in August or September when I felt the first bit of cool air, a hint that fall was around the corner, and this fear crept in. Snap, just like that I had a memory of a time I was still working and snow was coming down like crazy when I went home for lunch. I put on some music and I just sat on our couch at home and watched the snow fall, through the window. I am usually a person who got perfect attendance in school and up until covid, was one of those annoying coworkers who would go to work even when I was sick, but that day… I called my manager from home and asked if it was ok to take off the rest of the day. It wasn’t a busy day anyway, but it felt like a magical snow day. And just recalling that memory, I was immediately pulled out of any fear I had about the approaching winter. And so far, it has been a pretty great winter, aside from two falls on the ice, and the heatwave that melted our White Christmas away. It’s New Year’s Eve and we’ve had a couple of small snows in the last week, so the ground is covered again. My sister and I went for a winter walk earlier today and enjoyed all the wildlife footprints in the snow.
The deer hoof prints looked like hearts
