february hibernation
I think this is what they were all talking about when they said that winter in this place is harsh.
The girls and I went out to the mailbox after lunch. They were whimpering by the time we got to the road.
My man is at the outdoor firing range today. All. day. long. I have a few words to say about that.
With wind chill, it is -11. At 3 pm.
Thankfully, we have no shortage of firewood, snacks, cartoons, or chocolate.
I just realized that I sound mad in this post -- I'm not. Just in hibernation mode -- the kind where you eat half a bag of cheddar pretzels without realizing it -- then you decide to go sit by the fire and eat some more. I don't hate winter just yet -- I'm not even sick of it just yet. It is so, so pretty here -- and it's hard to feel tired of that.
I have been on a Spring sewing rampage, though. Lots of tunics and minidresses and crochet/lace detail and vintage textiles galore.

I love your little banner there! It's super cute! I know what you mean about hibernating and chips although I usually pick Doritos! We've actually had a warm snap where it's like Spring, crazy!
Ah, what a cute collage!
Brrrr... Too cold! As much as I hate the rain here, I'm grateful that it rarely goes below freezing. Hope your hubby made it through the day okay!
I feel really cozy hearing about your fires and snacks and movies. Mmmmm. I'm hungry.
...looks like into the wardrobe to Narnia! I'm afraid we have lived a very sheltered life. Just think how glorious spring will be.
It sounds lovely to me...
HaHa and I'm so tired of winter and longing for spring. Perhaps if I was at your house I'd change my mind....
