settling in

As the remains of Christmas are starting to be tidied up and put away, it feels as if the time has come to hibernate. The snow is draped over our little corner of the world, and I am a mother bear settling down for a long winter’s nap. Life continues, perhaps even thrives, but it moves more slowly, more peacefully, more simply. I’m sending out my thank you cards, letting my little ones sleep late and nap when they please, and looking forward to some warm winter baking. How does winter feel to you right now?
