Oh what a wonderful wintry set of days this has been! Entirely not like the week we had originally planned. The original plan included a grand Solstice Celebration last weekend at the new Taproot Portland space, but that was postponed (until January 6th) due to the weather that day (so much snow! and ice!). And on Christmas Day, we always go to my family's gathering an hour south, but that too was cancelled due to another dumping of snow that left us quite "stuck" at home. All of which meant that we were home a whole lot more than originally anticipated. Home! All together under one roof! With nowhere to go! In pajamas all day! Oh goodness, it was delightful. Pop's back at work today and I'm doing a little bit too, but we're still lingering a bit in the slowness of this in between week, and anticipating another extra long weekend coming up.
Aside from all that snow (all that snow! I've lost my older boys to the mountain for good now), we're dealing with some rather cold temperatures here this week. It did go above freezing this morning for just a bit and I snuck out to feed the animals and tuck them into extra warmth. It's going to be a chilly stretch here....just right for more home, and cozy, and family. And oh, some knitting to be sure as well! It's been a busy autumn for me, and I'm just so glad for this little reprieve and chance to catch my breath in the warmth of home and my people.
I hope you and yours are enjoying these days too!
