Have A Cozy Weekend!

Old Covered Bridge


So what are you up to this weekend? We're expecting to be snowed in with possibly 12 inches of snow! I'm ready for a cozy weekend with Rodney, accompanied by some books from my book list, movies, knitting AND some hearty recipes to cook.

In reading, a lonely quiet concert is given to our minds; all our mental faculties will be present in this symphonic exaltation.
~Stéphane Mallarmé


Rodney and I may venture out on Sunday for some snowy landscape photography. I will definitely pack a thermos of coffee to help warm us!

I hope your weekend is full of coziness and fairy tales.

  1. Just love your quotes, Karen! You always find the perfect ones! I've got a similar weekend planned..A friend at work gave me a deer roast and I'm thinking I'll make bbq with it. And Jim searched all over t-vegas yesterday and found oysters, so we'll have stew tonight. Thanks for the cozy-inspired post....it's fun to know we'll be enjoying some of the same things. I'll look forward to seeing your and Rodney's photographs!
