blankets and coffee...

Crisp air, heavy blankets, yummy coffee, and powdery snow always make me smile. I love winter...

Living in Tennessee usually means you are surrounded by people who almost always complain about the cold days of our extremely short winters. If the temperatures get in the 30s people start craving sunshine and ninety degree temps. Tennesseans are not built for the cold weather. However I love it! Walking in below freezing air always makes me smile. I look forward to those days that I can wrap up in a scarf and a heavy coat. When the cold wall hits me in the face it makes my eyes water and I start to look up for snow. It doesn't have to be a lot but I want to see it for just a little while. For some reason my senses seem to be a little more heightened. Everything looks clearer and blankets are a little slice of heaven. My coffee never tasted so good at 6am or noon! We have already had snow twice this winter hope it stays around:) If only i didn't have to get out of a warm bed in the mornings...
