Baby It's Cold!

 Good Morning!

Geeze it's cold outside!  We woke New Year's Day to a small, light dusting of snow.  I had hoped to take a walk, but our winds were high (again) so I opted to stay in.  This morning finds yet another light dusting of snow on the ground.  Enough that I will need to clean off my car before I go to yoga (I don't think there is going to be much sun to melt things).  Fletch heard that we are having the longest cold spell since 2010!

Well, I may not go out to walk but other creatures do.  Plenty of squirrels and birds around.  The birds have even come to our front door!


I do love seeing bird tracks in the snow.

Yesterday found me doing all things I love!  I spent some time knitting.  I spent some time stitching.  I spent a short time napping.  And I spent time cooking.  I made a recipe for dinner that  Kym shared the other year:  Lemony White Bean Soup With Turkey and Greens.  Perfect on a winter night, and now there is a big container of it in the freezer for another night.

As mentioned above, I have a yoga class (Yin) at Noon and I need to go to the bank and also pick up a couple of things at the grocery store.  Other than that, I'm planning for today to be pretty much like yesterday - knitting, stitching and perhaps a nap.  Dinner is already cooked - I took homemade sauce out of the freezer for tonight.  I'll cook up some pasta and make a big salad to go with it.  Easy Peasy!

So, for me, a gentle start to the New Year which feels perfect.  I hope your start to the new year has been equally comforting to you.
