Good Evening, Everyone!! It was 15 degrees on this unknown-numbered day of the apocalypse. I salted, chipped ice, shoveled while I shivered, my shoulders ached, my lips chapped… I’m so looking forward to the greens of spring!
In all honesty, though, I’m a Michigan kid. I had some of my favorite days on winter sleds, building show forts in plowed snow piles, snowball fights (and yes, I did save one in the freezer just to throw it at my sister in June :D) and snowmobiles. I can ice-fish without a shanty, cross-country ski and drink peppermint schnapps with the best of them. So, this year’s winter has been a measure of beautiful nights of softly falling snow while I sat by the window with a hot cup of coffee – you know, in the midst of the shoveling and salting and freezing and stuff. I remember it more fondly as a kid?
May you find your moments of zen in the harshness that life brings. Stay Warm!

love the last picture, with the candles and the fireplace…Iknow this won’t help, but we experienced a warming trend today in NH, it got all the way up to 15 degrees and the sun came out. all at the same time.
It will be warmer soon. and the days are getting longer, every day.

It doesn’t drop below 0°C (32°F) here except during the night just a few times per year. Personally I prefer the cold over hot, but I’m not too sure how I’d manage with -9°C (15°F) temperatures. Today I’ve been coping with a 25°C (77°F) afternoon temperature. That’s about the very top of my comfort zone During February, we usually exceed that on 5 – 10 days, although over recent years, the number of days that exceed that has been increasing.
