We finally got a couple of 60 degree days in KC, just as Ben and I left for Boston and another blizzard.<br /><br />I can bake and make great soups any time. I've always got quilts and shawls around. And Irish coffee's good any time of year. As far as TMI goes, Hallie--just give up sleeveless tops and you're free in the summer also.<br /><br />And I'm so glad to be back online. I've missed my dear Reds and Reds backbloggers. More computer woes for weeks.

Wanted to make a side trip to Mozambique, but my husband's not going for it. <br /><br />My favorite things about winter are also warming soups, roaring fires, and snuggling, usually under a thick down comforter. And lots of hot tea. But I had promised myself to buy a pair of Uggs slippers, and forgot. They don't really go on sale, either. <br /><br />What I won't miss, although we barely had any snow this year, is shoveling our 300'-long driveway. It's a good workout, but still.

In fact, I'm sick to death of it.<br /><br />But I will miss my winter hat. <br /><br />It's black. Reversible. Cashmere on one side, fleece on the other. I bought it for $15 at a holiday craft sale from a woman who makes hats out of old sweaters.

I don’t need snow and ice to snuggle, the quilt never leaves the bed anyway, and rainy days can be just as deserving of a fire in the fireplace. There are lots of delicious soups still to make and Irish coffee is yum no matter when you have it, so bring on the sun and those warm spring days.
