The hyggle is real

grammarwomanI was deeply disappointed by the lack of snow and cold weather over this past winter. (I like freezing temps killing things that are supposed to be killed, like bugs and weeds.) I know I'm a goof for loving snow, so now I have to laugh at myself.
Every year, I let the leaves mulch up over the flower beds to keep them safe and snug over the winter. Then, come springtime, I dither about how long to wait to clean out the beds, wondering if we're past the cold zone, which inevitably results in the foliage overgrowing past easy removal of the leaves. We're hosting the family Easter gathering in a week, and I wanted the front yard to look nice, so I hired a lawn service guy to blow out and rake up all the lawn detritus and take it away. That was Thursday.
Today we woke up to snow and wind and snow and snow. We've got at least 4-5 inches outside. Timing! At least yesterday when I was out and abouting, I resisted the urge to buy some flowers for planting outside, because March cannot be trusted, and thus was my caution rewarded.
I am also very glad I did the grocery shopping then, so I can stay inside and enjoy the view from comfort and warmth while puttering in the kitchen. I put away a bunch of clean dishes, cooked myself some hash and eggs, baked up some peanut butter cookies, and then threw together a batch of palak paneer. I'm poised on the brink of the end of Farscape season 2, not wanting to dive into the heartbreak of the last episode, so I'm watching all the bonus features first. I've got a minute of vid on the timeline, and at least for right now, the world is calm and cozy. I'm thinking hot chocolate and peanut butter cookies sound really good right now. Hygge to all, and to all a good night!
