An Oklahoma Winter

O how I hate cold weather!! Today i woke up to ice everywhere, which means having to go out and start my car to let it warm up at least 20 min before i can leave and for some reason they don't believe in heat here at my office! So i'm sitting here with my coat on, tryin not to freeze to death and thinking about finding the heat guy and letting him know your supposed to run the heater when it's like 80 below in the building! But
on the other hand, an Oklahoma Winter is kinda pretty. When you look outside and seethe ice hanging from the trees and fences across the prairie and some how your forget about the cold and just soak up the beauty and quietness of it all. I can remember being a kid a praying for some kind of snow or ice so maybe mom would let us out of school! Although it didn't always work , she was gracious enough to let us out sometimes! I can still remember it all, getting all our winter clothes on, hats, boots, gloves ( which most of the time we never had any so we used socks !!) coats , and scarfs. It was so much fun being the first one to walk in the snow and leave your foot prints , even though it wasn't to long before the others came and left their's!! And trying to get enough snow to make Frosty, even though he was full of leaves half the time we didn't care, we usually had a Daddy Snowman, a Mommy Snowman and a Baby!(we usually ended up putting our clothes on them , like our hats and scarves so by the time we got done with them we would be freezing cold but still out there playin!!) After a while we got tired of playing with them and took back all our clothes and had naked snowmen :) They didn't always last to long bacause some one usually got mad about something and knocked down one, if not all of them! So i guess it's time for another winter and that means more memories to make!
