Outdoors Love

I am not exactly "outdoorsy" whatever that means but I actually really enjoy being outside.  That might be a strange sentiment coming in the midst of a seemingly endless winter but I've noticed that when I spend time out of doors, even in winter, it tends to brighten my mood.  Two weeks ago when I went to the outdoor hockey game I noticed how nice it was to be outside for the entire day.  It had been way too long.  This weekend I went running outdoors twice and went cross country skiing two times with my mother.

We went to the Wildlife Sanctuary and it was so much fun.  I hadn't gone since I was a child but we had a great time.  I would like to go again before the snow melts, maybe to Barkhausen.  Do you like spending time outdoors in the winter?  What do you like to do?  Have you ever cross country skied?
