WINTER

Cozy Cabin Memories


Looks like the taco or burrito required mixing the playdough colors. :)


We have done so many fun puzzles this winter.



FROST




I love WINTER. I love the cozy feeling of being indoors with a fire cooking in the wood stove. I love having more time indoors to work on projects, BAKE and cook. There seems to be more time for PLAYDOUGH and puzzles. I love the frost on the trees and the way the snow sparkles. I like sipping a hot vanilla latte. I like to hit the thrift stores once a week and search for bargains. I like crisp winter hikes with my boys and husband.
Right now, the roads are pretty good ... driving conditions aren't stressful. And although I love the snow, we appreciate the good roads for all of those in the transportation business.
So, snow or no snow, I treasure these winter months. Allow yourself the time to relax, to cuddle up with your kids or begin reading a great book... happy winter.

Great pictures, Michele. I am not a fan of winter although I do enjoy turning the fireplace on. I love yard work and being outside so I am looking forward to spring when everything wakes up.

I agree...there are some fun things about winter. Sipping hot beverages by the fire would have to be at the top of my list. :) I do love waking up and seeing the frost on the trees...it makes everything look so magical and beautiful! I love the pic of the frost you took!

Although not a big winter person, as you know...I do miss those things about winter. You know you live in Southern CA when you call 55 degrees and raining winter:)

Hi Michele - thanks for your comment on my blog! You asked about sizing my photos larger. I host all my images at SmugMug (the beginner level is about $40 per year) and then I insert them to my blog using the blogger photo uploader on my posts - I just use the URL, which will size them according to the linked photo size. If you want larger photos, you may need to do a different template, though, so that it can handle the larger sizes. Hope it works for ya!
