We had our first snow last week. It was much earlier than we're used to and the air is definitely 10 to 15 degrees colder than usual for this time of year. After all the prediction that we would be enjoying a very long and warm Fall, this was a big surprise. I'm so thankful though that we were well prepared and everything in the garden, and around the acreage was all ready for Winter. We still have to test the Christmas lights that dh hung on the house last week and straighten up the garage so we can park inside after leaving our cars outside all Summer. Grateful for a warm garage!
The bit of snow you see in the pictures above did melt later in the day. But the cold air has remained and today, we woke up to a white landscape, with big flakes falling down like Christmas Eve! I think this may stay, at least for a few days. Next week, we're supposed to go back to warm temperatures and likely this will all melt again. I guess this sums about our Covid year ~ things change in the minute and we just keep rolling with it. Nothing else we can do!
Except make soup .... yup, that's what we do when the weather is not the best outside. We create warm things in our kitchen to nurture our bodies and our souls. Soup, made from scratch. Buns from a recipe. Hot drinks and lots of laughter keep us going thru the Winter. We spent some time figuring out what we can do thru the long, dark months ahead. Hygge will be in full swing here once again!
What do you do to get thru the Winter?

I know our idea of what cold is is not what you experience but we woke up to zero temps this morning with a strong cold wind. Brrr.
I think the only thing I do differently in winter is spending more time reading.
When we lived on the coast, I always found the cold different ~ more of a damp, in your bones cold. Here it is dry, so it's chilly but tolerable. I plan to spend more time in my art studio this Winter! Cozy and a creative space to be.

We used to travel to get through the Winter but now with Covid, we'll be staying home this year. Hope it goes away soon. I'm itching for a warmer climate! Diane
Me too Diane!
