The Packers lost in the playoffs. Much of the snow has melted. I'm fainthearted at the sight of our calendar for the next two months. It's wicked cold outside. Not CALIFORNIA cold, but Midwestern cold dropping into single digits and making your Momvan creak when you start it cold. It's hibernation season. A season to hunker down and self-medicate through the long nights and short days. Here's how I'm soothing myself lately:
Love. This. Stuff. A little goes a long way and it smells nice and sweet without overpowering my sensitive nose. Plus, it's less than $4 a tube.
Just the thing at night to warm your toes and help you sleep. Especially when you're out of wine and ice water doesn't feel cozy on your throat.
It's always a good season for books, but winter's a great time for reading. I'm supplementing novels with a steady dose of seed catalogs and gardening books.
Long walks in the woods. Yesterday Mr. G and I scared up a HUGE owl. It flew out of a tree and the sight was magnificent. The creek is particularly gorgeous right now--some parts are frozen over and other parts flowing fast. I need to bring my camera out there next week.
I never tire of looking at tree branches. They're gothic and creepy and gorgeous and artistic.
Spill it, reader. What's soothing to you these days?
