Happy Winter Solstice

I wish Utah was getting blanketed like DC is.

Wouldn't being snowed in be heavenly?

This weekend there was a lot of sitting around, chit-chatting, reading, knitting and crocheting. I think my dream house is just a big rambler/ranch-style cottage up in the woods. As I sat and knitted I tried to imagine what the cottage would look like, and drew out the floor plan in my head. It's going to be perfect.

I like low ceilings and cozy rooms (sort of like a hobbit's hole). A kitchen connected to the sitting living room, with big wooden beams running along the low ceiling just above your head... a big fire place, lots of yarn to be knitted, lots of good books to be read, snow shoes to be worn, and a bearded handsome lumber jack chopping wood outside.

oh, and a stereo in the corner playing 'in the clouds' by under the influence of giants.
