My blog is going to be flying again soon! This post is a place holder link for where my April 2020 A to Z Blog Posts will be found. I’m just doing a pre-test to be sure everything still works.
To learn more about the blogging challenge, check out the Blogging from A to Z Website. It’s a lot of fun!
And, be sure to check back on Monday, March 16th for my Theme Reveal Post. Looking forwarding to rejoining the challenge again this year!
I am now a three-time survivor of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. It was a little more intense for me this year since I waited until late March to make my final decision on whether or not to participate leaving my window to research, write and prep everything to only a few weeks since I like to keep April focused on all the social aspects of the challenge. April is when I spend my time visiting and commenting on other blogs not actually writing posts. Interacting with other bloggers is my favorite part of the challenge.
I went to Iceland in January three years ago. When packing for my trip, I knew I needed to bring warm clothing as we were taking an adventure tour and would be spending most of our time outside exploring. Packing for Iceland wasn’t a problem because the first thing I learned upon arriving is that Maine is colder.
Having the right winter gear is essential if you want to truly embrace winter. You’re not going to have fun if you are cold or wet. So how do I dress for winter? Layers, Layers, Layers. The colder the weather, the more you want add on the layers.
Snow is prettiest right after it falls. Once it’s on the ground for a few days, it immediately starts getting dirtied up with life and loses that pristine whiteness. But, right after a storm? It is incredibly beautiful.
My favorite winter scene is once the storm has stopped leaving behind a snow covered landscape. When every part of nature is draped in white it’s magical. I especially love seeing trees turned completely white by the clinging snow.
Winter has some wonderful moments. There is deep beauty to the landscape during the colder snow-covered months. When it arrives covering everything in white, it makes me smile.
I love winter.
There are no mosquitoes or ticks to bother us during our hikes and the overall pace is slower and peaceful. You can snowshoe under the stars during a full moon hike or sit by the fireplace, sipping wine and binge watch the latest Netflix show while snuggled under a blanket. There is so much to enjoy about winter.
