Friday Morning FYI – 12/12/2014

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI! My chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is inspired by the snowy, windy, cold, wonderful (I’m a winter person) weather we’ve had this week in the north east:

In the winter, take some time everyday to allow yourself to be cold. It’ll help you appreciate being warm that much more.

Apple Picking – Another Thing I love About Autumn

I make no apologies for being a cold-weather person. When I tell friends and co-workers that I love winter and can’t wait for snow, they universally gasp in horror. I can’t say that I blame them, we’ve had a few rough years here in NJ (and all of the north east), so everyone is a bit shell-shocked. Once I mention that my first love is Autumn, though, I always get nods and smiles.

Over at FIX.com, there’s a great write-up on one of my favorite things: Apple Picking (I love it so much, I capitalized it. Don’t hate.) There are some nice history and cool info graphics to help everyone finish up the season (already over in most places, I know), and get ready for next year. Check it out.
