I know it's Spring now, but this came to me, and I certainly won't remember it by next winter.
What is your favorite leisure activity on a cold, snowy winter day, or a wet, windy Spring day, for that matter? Read? Games? Crafts? What do you do to while away the time?
For me, reading is always my go-to. It started when I was very young. We lived in an area where the only kids were either 5 years younger or 5 years older than I was, so I was alone most of the time. Books took me places that I never new existed. My first foray into Science Fiction came when I was about eight years old. It was Robert Heinlein's "Citizen of the Galaxy." I remember to this day turning each page with SUCH excitement, wanting to know what was happening to Thorby next. Yes, 56 years later and I still remember the hero's name! THAT is what a good book does to me.
