T...I´m still here too, the Mayans figured it wrong.<br />Though the temperature is " only -12°C ", we have 55 cms of snow, it is too much at this time of the year, as there are yet 3 snow months ahead, and the temperatures will go down, down. I don´t wish to depress you how cold it really can be.<br />Indeed, just staying inside in the warmth is a tempting idea, but duties call.<br />As you might guess, I´m not liking winter at all. And very soon my limit of Xmas is full too.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-5015303381895924782012-12-21T08:20:41.932-06:002012-12-21T08:20:41.932-06:00I have enjoyed reading all the posts about the sol...I have enjoyed reading all the posts about the solstice and Mayans. When it's hot in summer I want cooler weather. Then we have this! Always want what we don't have. But I do enjoy the coziness of winter: fires in the fireplace, cups of hot chocolate, snuggling with the dogs and curling up with a good book. And oh yes, pouring over the seed catalogues which have already begun to arrive in the mail.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-80121323592040785642012-12-21T08:16:03.823-06:002012-12-21T08:16:03.823-06:00The stormy weather has passed and it's blazing...The stormy weather has passed and it's blazing cold today.

Excellent red cardinals in that shop and thank you for the mention! I love that new green too, very nice and am also partial to a silver reindoor. It does look bleak, cold and stormy over there; take care and keep cosy. Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.com
