A quick glance at my local forecast, and I’m assured that we’ll have no shortage of snow this winter or this week for that matter. Winter has arrived here in Idaho!
It’s inevitable—with all of the “outdoorsy” activities around the farm closing down for the season, we have a tendency to fold inward around here, hunker down, and gather around fires with cups of warmth in hand. There’s certainly no shame in getting cozy (I’m still in my jammies as I write this), but I also love to look for excuses to get out there into the wild, white world beyond my window.
One of the best excuses I can think of involves collecting a big ol’ pot of the white stuff. Yep, harvesting snow! It is an abundant crop these days.
But, why?

I haven’t thought of snow ice cream in a while, but it really brings back memories from the ’60s when I was a child! We used to mix in pure maple syrup. I can’t wait for the next fresh snow fall now! Thanks MaryJane, for bringing back a lovely memory =)

Are you staying warm, Annika?
Such a blustery day in Moscow! I’m running behind winterizing the windows and sky light, but other wise I’m quite cozy. Days like this make you glad for hot mulled cider, don’t they?
=)

I was just writing about hot cider! Now I really need some.
