Hygge or Cosagach

 Winter is great to sit on a comfy chair by the fire or  in candle light and do some knitting or sewing.

The Danish call it Hygge.   Taking time to get comfy in low light and warmth….winter is hard enough so be kind to yourself and snuggle down…a lit candle is a must.



Coping With Winter.....................The New Year's List

However obscure your New Year Resolutions I hope you find some that can be kept - at least until Febuary!

COPING with WINTER -- Dreaming of Springtime


 Right about now I start thinking about bulbs I planted in October as well as my perennial beds that are buried under snow and/or frozen ground.  Dreaming of flowers I will soon see make me smile.

THEME: Coping with Winter

Winter is definitely upon us in Chicago. 

We just had a lovely spell of 50 ° F (10 ° C) days with much needed rain but now the "jet stream" is cruelly bringing below freezing temperatures our way. This is when I start to think about getting through the next couple of months.

Let's create a collage about coping with this time of year!
