Tis The Season

Today was the first snow.

It snowed & snowed, huge white, wet flakes all afternoon from the time I left for work until I went home. None of the snow stayed, and it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow, but we've been given our first taste & there's plenty more on its way.

The apartment has been pretty chilly lately, so today we finally gave in & plugged in our little space heater (which is much cheaper than the three yucky baseboard heaters which just give me nosebleeds anyhow). It will be nice when we're in our newer, warmer apartment in December -- just in time for Christmas & all things festive & fabulous.

Is it snowing where you live? Are you looking forward to it?


Winston gets pretty cold in the winter, but he's got plenty of sweaters to wear outside & even some little boots. I'm not even joking. For now he's spending all of his time under the covers on our bed, with his little head on a pillow.

I appreciate a nice snowy Christmas, but I could do without the cold. Mostly I'm a little worried about walking on the lovely ice that forms on the sidewalks which the city is slow to clear at times -- I can be a bit of a clumsy winter walker & this year our daughter (26 weeks, 4 days today) is already throwing me off balance. I think I'll have to invest in some heavy duty hiking boots to navigate the streets this season.

I even pulled out my winter coat (which is missing a button, but wouldn't do up around my belly anyhow, so it doesn't really matter) when I went to work today. As much winter is my least favourite season, I certainly love to be all bundled up in my coat, a sweater, mittens, a cozy knit hat & as many scarves as I can manage.

Have a cozy, warm night friends. I'm off to tuck my cold little feet into bed with some knitting & the newest issue of Real Simple. Much love & guten nacht.

ps. I did a really fun photo shoot last night & I can't wait to share some of the images with you. Soon, soon.
