"Our days are on somewhat of a repeat. Snow, shovel, bake, knit, write, snow, shovel, cook, knit, write. Repeat. I find myself in the minority, where the continual wildness followed by a hoary, sunny calm is energizing. Interspersed with a snow shoe and a horse ride, the dormancy is like a cozy sweater with a long, soft scarf wrapped around my neck. Comforting, calm, creative and cozy."
