I absolutely hate this time of year.

Romeo does too:

I think if people were absolutely honest, we all hate this time of year. It’s gloomy and wet outside, with temperatures unable to decide if it should warm up enough to thaw the ice off the driveways or just add another layer.

Not to mention how hard it is to get out of bed this time of year.

Romeo struggles with this too:

And inevitably at this point in the season everyone has cabin fever, since it’s too risky to venture outside for any length of time:

And of course there’s the weight gain since all that’s left to do is sit inside and eat:

(This is also something Romeo struggles with…)

So I’ll say it again.

I hate this time of year.

And if you are still reading at this point I apologize for the whiny tone of this post (no really, I’m sorry. But thanks for still being here…).

I just can’t help it. It’s right about now when it feels like Spring will never come, my flip flops will never be worn again, and every. other. state. but. Vermont. has significantly nicer weather.

And I know what you’re thinking. Before I know it we’ll be back in bathing suits soaking up the sunshine:

(Romeo doesn’t believe in bathing suits. Sorry world.)

But right now it’s all a dream:

A wet, cold, flip flop and sunshine-less dream.

Come on Spring. Don’t let me down.
