Walking in a Winter Wonderland




handsome fella up ahead...
Remember (wayy  back) from my first post, when I said that one of my favorite things is snowflakes on my nose and eyelashes??  Well, dear husband took me at my word, and welcomed me on his daily hike…this time in the *SNOW*.  We got about 3 inches last night, so it was very beautiful and fresh for the morning walk in the woods.  We were the first ones to crunch through the trail, and thanks to my Michelin-man style of dressing in 3 layers, I was a toasty (and happy) biscuit.  Fresh air, zesty conversation and breathtaking vistas…it was all good.  Except for the part where I had to use the State Park bathroom facilities (mental note:  green tea AFTER the walk, not before) which are pit toilets with a cute little house around it to fool you into thinking there is plumbing involved.  Could not be helped, and this is another reason why baby wipes (for anytime hand washing) in the car is always a smart plan.  Fortunately, the walk/hike was crisp and the smell of forest quickly replaced eau de poo poo.

looks like Middle Earth, no?

Because we are (sort of) on the subject of odors, here is a delicious smelling idea for you:  Wild Fig & Cassis candle from Target (say Tar-zjhayy).  I got it on sale last week for $12 (had to break my candle-buying moratorium for this one) and it has been stinking up my desk area real pretty since then.  Love the snappy hot pink packaging and the gold mercury glass ribbed holder.  It just looks like happiness and smells divine.  They have other flavors too, but this figgy one was my velvet cats pajamas.
