It’s been the most glorious winter day today…the snow has been falling ever since I woke up and everything is covered in white. I feel pretty ‘snowed in,’ although I do use that term loosely since I’m married to someone who just wants to get out and drive in this stuff whenever it starts coming down, which feels so counter-intuitive to this Southern girl. I still have the idea that everything should be shut down and cancelled and impossible to get to because it’s snowing, but I’m learning that here things can go on as normal for the most part.
We had a leisure breakfast of waffles and peach syrup before Ben dashed off to work, and it was so fun to have a mid-week breakfast date in our kitchen. Breakfast is my favorite and I always look forward to the weekends when I can make something for us both and we can sit down over coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy morning date.
I’ve used the snow day as an opportunity to be pretty cozy myself, and haven’t done too much besides some resting, reading, baking, and computer work. Sometimes you just want days like that, right?
We are hoping the weather clears up by tomorrow though, since my parents are scheduled to fly in for the weekend! I don’t know what all we will get into while they are here, but we are looking forward to spending some quality time with them and letting them experience a bit of this frigid and beautiful winter.
I’m off to make some dinner (this, since soup is the only thing acceptable for days like this!) and spend the evening cozied up with a book and my man and hot tea in front of the fireplace.
Have a beautiful and warm evening, friends!
What about you: what do you like to do on cozy, winter/rainy days?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
