How ironic. In the north we would have to brave the north county in winter. Putting on all those annoying winter garments. Walking around like a waddling duck. Getting frost bite on my exposed skin. Driving through the snow covered roads. Being trapped in the house.

What's worse - me having to put boots, scarves, sunscreen on my dog and making sure my baby stroller has had it seasonal maintenance check.
