Mmmm....

Somewhere in the middle of this fascinating and challenging weather, I have been reminded of why I love winter so much.

It's damn cold out there - eye-numbing, hair-freezing, lung-paralyzing cold. But nothing in the world feels quite as wonderful as coming back to my nice, warm home, putting on a pair of fuzzy slippers, and curling up under a homemade afghan with a cat and a mug of hot tea. It's entirely worth surviving the cold to feel this cozy and comfy and safe afterwards....
