Some of the best ice skating scenes, most heart warming scenes, in filmdom. I love cold weather; thrived on it in Paris ...tho Munich is much colder and more frigid and sometimes I didn't have the right clothing on if we were just visiting and not living there at the time.

There's something about spring that transmits, to my mind anyway, a new beginning, and new hope. <br /><br />To me, Autumn signals the beginning of the end of the year, and cold, dark days will soon be upon us. Winter to me, represents a pervading feeling of gloom and hopelessness.<br /><br />Spring represents a bright new world of hope. It's like.... all adversity is melting away with the winter's snow, and bringing with it a brave new world of hope that things will improve.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-84954970650960490742009-09-19T22:16:58.741-07:002009-09-19T22:16:58.741-07:00Do you know what makes the leaves fall?

Christmas.<br /><br />Spring & Summer - gorging on garden bounty, trips to see family, yoga on the deck.

At least it's cooler in the evenings and mornings though.<br /><br />I much prefer the weather in Northern California. Mild seasonal changes, occasional cooling fog cover even in the hot season, a cold but almost never freezing rainy season, early Spring with trees blossoming in late January (not until May here). I guess I should move back to California.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064746447414555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-59213651552202592452009-09-19T08:22:47.006-07:002009-09-19T08:22:47.006-07:00Fall is probably my favorite season.
