Most of my family think I'm nuts, but I love winter. Here in the Black Hills right now the sky is a brilliant blue, and everything else is frosted white. The pine tree limbs are bowing a little with the heavy snow on them. Deer are feeding in both the front and back on some hay I put out for them. I have both the fireplace burning and the pellet stove, too. Also a pot of soup simmering and a really good book waiting for me. The world looks good. At least my little portion of it.

Enjoy your hot tub, cappuccino, and snow. A rare combination in Texas.

Definitely an unusual combination but we're going to enjoy every minute of it. Too bad it's not a little closer to Christmas but it didn't stop me from going out shopping for a few gifts.

Nothing like cold weather to rev up the holiday spirit!! Reminded me of my first winter in Wyoming. I had no winter clothes so I was shopping in the middle of the first snow storm. :) Thankfully I still have that fabulous jacket and hat I bought that day.

The very first snowfall of the season is by far the most beautiful.

Enoy your soup and book. Any good reading recommendations?
