Winter

is so Wintery
cold
icy
blustery.
such a great time for
hanging out by the fire
napping with or without kitties (↑Earnest)
making lots of soup
learning a new craft
reading books, visiting with friends, snowboarding (son only), watching movies, playing games.
But also 
walking in the woods,
capturing nature on film, looking for animal tracks.
Winter, February to be exact, is my birthday, my wedding anniversary, and my son's birthday.  That gives us a reason to celebrate all month long...
and a wonderful excuse to get away to somewhere WARM! 
 
This post is for the etsy bloggers' team carnival which will be posted on Linda's blog, Pruitt Handcrafts on Monday, February 14th.

    Soup is mandatory during winter. I like to throw off my husband by making soup during the summer, too:)

    We don't have any snow here but think that any time is a good time to nap with Earnest!

    Hey, this looks like my winter, too! I've been enjoying trying to capture the icicles, and making lots and lots of soups each week.
    Happy Birthday & to your son, & Happy Anniversary! Enjoy!

    Oh you have captured it so nicely. Everything looks beautiful. But...I am still sick of it and ready for spring. With all the snow we have there will be mud forever!

    The best remedy for cold weather for me is a cat (or more) and an open fire, lol !

    We are having a bit of a winter thaw here, but a big storm is moving in tomorrow...

    I guess I'd better get my soup pot out...
