Yesterday

Yesterday was a cold day! Blustery, gray, rainy and promising to get colder and worse. So Winslow and I headed out to Fort Pulaski knowing that icy conditions would make it impossible for today.

We were the only ones out there and it was beautiful

Winslow loved it! The colder the better.

And I kept having to stop to snap a picture or two.

I love this kind of dormant landscape.

The colors of winter in the South where the green never goes away fully.

By the time we got home, I was windblown and wet from the rain... and fully awake!

Later in the day, I received a used copy of this cookbook in the mail - it is excellent! I've made a few recipes from it (tried it out from the library first) and they were all delicious - and healthy.

I also decided I needed some new colorful dishcloths and knitted those two while sitting by the fire. It was beyond cozy!

I started the fire with pinecones from our yard and tried to get a picture of one of them that still kept it's shape, but was all burnt out and just glowing. I couldn't get it into focus (it was too hot close up), but still like how it came out.

Today, we are expecting sleet and even some snow (very unusual for this part of the country!) for most of the day, which means another cozy day is on the menu chez Powers...

Wishing you much warmth and coziness. Stay warm, everyone!!
