The calm of winter

Every winter I wonder why I live here. I hate being cold, I hate sitting in a cold car, and I hate driving when there's ice on the road. Now that I work with animals I also hate thinking about those who live outdoors--even the ones I provide food for.

But winter has an upside. The colder it is (and the longer the cold stays), the fewer cats will become pregnant since breeding is due to day length/temperature. It makes me wish for freezing weather for 3 straight years.

So pray for cold! Pray that the greenhouse effect is untrue. Hope for 6 months of straight freezing across the world!!
