Brrrrrr

Well, last night we had our first frost of winter! It pretty much felt like it came out of nowhere (aside from the fact that it was so clear and still last night, it was a given I think). We've had such mild weather so far, mostly beautiful, calm days that warm the house, so I only need to light the fire about 4pm when the sun goes down behind the hill in front of our house. The full moon last night was also a stunner.

I might actually need to light the fire today, I also had to crack the ice on the chicken's water bowl and the car window took a bit of defrosting before heading off to school.

The kids went to school with extra layers and woolly hats, and I noticed Danielle enjoying "making smoke" with her breath as she wandered along the road to the school gates at drop off.

I really LOVE these types of winter days. So invigorating. I do look forward to the winter solstice though and the gradual return of the longer days. Now to light that fire...
