Winter is really here

Well, now the snow is staying on the ground and it is bitterly cold. I hate the winter, especially now because my fibromyalgia makes cold painful. But my son Nicky is very excited and happy that the snow is here. I got him a nice warm jacket, hat, gloves, and boots—he's looking forward to getting out there and playing in the snow. Although the cold is unpleasant for me, it is good to see Nicky so happy.

The teddy bear at the left is decorated with a bee that Nicky drew in Adobe Illustrator (with some help from mom). In fact, Nicky has his own little Cafepress store devoted to products with this bee picture.
