And hopefully with a little twist by not using all the cliche answers that everyone gives on Thanksgiving. Of course I'm thankful for my health, my home, my family, my friends, etc. But I just want to be a little different this go'round. :)
Today it is 60 degrees out. This past weekend, it snowed. A couple weeks before that, it was 70 degrees out. So our weather has been a little more crazy than usual this time of year.
But I have to say I am so very thankful for the change of seasons.
The Shenandoah Valley is the perfect place to live if you want to experience all 4 of the seasons. Every year when I am just about sick of the snow and the cold, it's time for warmer weather. And every year, just when I am tired of being hot and sweaty, it's time for cooler weather. It's simply perfect!
There is nothing better than a winter day snuggled up under a down blanket, drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas music. There is nothing better than a spring day sitting on the back patio, drinking sweet tea while smelling the fresh cut grass. There is nothing better than a summer day laying by your in-laws pool, soaking up the rays while reading a good book. There is nothing better than a fall day watching Hokie football while chowing down on tailgate food topped off with a late night campfire.
And here in the Valley, all of the above is typical. It is normal. It is my life. And I'm so thankful for that.
