Today was a beautiful autumn day here on the ranch.
It was windy and chilly. It feels like something is blowing in.
I wish so badly it would be a big snowstorm. I'm a sucker for snow, and
Mr. Nielson said there was a chance it could storm tomorrow.
I won't get my hopes up,
but I won't dismiss it either...what if?
I don't like looking at the weather forecast because
I want to be surprised and shocked when something (like a big storm)
happens unexpectedly. It's cozier that way.
Today in the kitchen during school, we listened to Christmas music,
and I burned a balsam candle to help us transition to our Hygge season.
I am determined to create Hygge here on the ranch,
even if I have to force it a little!
After all, Hygge means being present, recognizing our
surroundings, and enjoying the moments. It can be a sweater, a candle,
music, hot cider, a cozy fire in the fireplace,
or being bundled up for a brisk walk with the dog.
All Hygge worthy, and really, that is my life.
Last night after the Little Nies were asleep,
Mr. Nielson and I sat on our bed, eating ice cream, and we began
sketching out our new ranch home!
It was so exciting, and I couldn't help but think about the Hygge
I want to create in our new place.
We already have a name for this new home of ours.
And it's going to fit perfectly.
