It's Hibernation time in Calgary :I

​Hibernation makes sense when its this cold (-10 to -30) and its barren (the plants die :( - for a 5 month period, with no food growing. 
Now, add in the late sun rises and early sun sleeps - all contributing to animals seeking shelter in caves or warm nests and sleeping for months - only to emerge in the spring. Hibernation

I’ve decided I am most definitely an animal - A bear in fact. All I want to do is eat and stay indoors and not emerge until spring :)
And a lot of us do ;) - gorging on high fat foods, hot chocolates, and running Netflix marathons so we don’t have to leave the comforts of our nests. Leaving only to work and or to stock up on groceries for maybe two weeks at a time. 

Lots offer advice to pick up skiing or skating or some other winter sport - but really then for us hibernating types our feet and hands would freeze, so no.....

So I’ll stay indoors, reminiscing of beach days gone by, and planning trips to new exotic locales, perhaps even figuring out a new place for a third home - so that instead of hibernating for half a year I can frolic in the sunshine :)
