‘Tis Almost the Season!

This week I’ve had to hold my tongue a bit as I’ve heard people mention the dread of promised snow in Spokane. I (not so secretly anymore) love snow, especially the first honest-to-goodness snow of the season. Big snowflakes falling from the sky make me all warm and cozy on the inside. Local coffee shops are advertising holiday flavors (Peppermint mocha? Yes, please!), the leaves have fallen off of the trees, and my garden has been put away for the winter. I. Am. Ready.

Granted, driving in snow is not my favorite winter sport, but wrapping up in wool blankets and reading a book or working on craft projects make the top of my list. To me the snowy season is time to hunker down and be creative (which means there are many project ideas coming soon to a blog near you). Sorry, everyone, but….bring on the snow, Spokane!
