The last 66 years of my life have all included butt whipping winters.
The section of the country I was raised plus lived my adult life in had some brutally tough Wintertide conditions.
It was crazy. But, my Mom was a “he man” style plus forced me to endure the conditions because it would build character or something. I’m still a bit bitter when I would be comfortable inside the Heating plus Air Conditioning plus he would force me outside to shovel for an hour. It did not build character. However, those experiences built a hatred of Wintertide inside me. As an adult, I still hated the winter. But, I married a local boy, had a local job plus there was family to consider. So, I stuck it out plus dealt with 1 furnace churning Wintertide after another. Well, that has all ended for me. It is with fantastic relief, excitement plus slight anxiety that I embrace a new chapter in my life. I am moving south plus leaving all the reminders of Wintertide behind me. There will be no more Heating plus Air Conditioning furnaces, shovels, ice melt or even a Wintertide coat in my life anymore. I am ready to deal with the heat while both of us were in the summer time as I have obtained a small arena that has the latest plus greatest heat pump. The summers get really hot. But, I’ll take that heat over 6 weeks of freezing any time. The rest of the year is perfect. I mean just perfect weather with sunlight plus fantastic temperatures. I’d say I’m overdue.
