It's been wonderfully Wintery and snowy over the last few days. Not just the old waking up to a blanket of snow, but the really cozy, satisfying snowing-through-lunch or snowing-through-hot-chocolate-breaks. Just glorious.
So usually when it snows, I start roasting squash like there's no tomorrow. The same way, I suppose, that my friends & family back East run to the store for the staples -- bread, milk, eggs. But I wasn't prepared, and I ran out of squashes to roast on the first day of snow, so I had to move on to the next best thing -- making kale and putting it in things.

Even the pets got into the cuddling mood. It should be noted that Ike & Olivia have NEVER been this close to one another without growling-snarling-swiping, so this was quite exciting for ol' Momma.

I've been taking more than my usual hot chocolate breaks, thanks to the vegan-friendly Starbucks hot cocoa mixes I recently found. Life-savers, really.
Lots of packages to ship out today! It's a good thing to be staying busy, even though I wouldn't argue with another lazy day on the couch, under blankets, watching horrible TLC shows on Netflix.
I hope everyone reading this is staying warm and cozy, and getting to enjoy some nice Winter weather, too.
