"A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water." ~ Carl Reiner

Well, my legs are shaved and my toenails are painted. That can mean only one thing - we are on our way to Florida! We leave behind what Bruce and I agree is a winter so far that has seemed like it's been all winter long. We can't remember such cold and snow so early in the season.  I do hope that the worst of it is behind those that we leave at home, and that our house-sitter will avail himself of the fireplace! 

This seems like a good time to do another post on some of my favorite things at home and around the web. So - here it goes!

I have just finished reading this (suggested by my sister Nancy) and this, and recommend them both if either topic is up your alley!

I am currently reading this, and moving on to this (gifted to me by my dear friend Judy) - I think I have a theme going!

Very cool!

I could get a lot more knitting done, but I'm not too sure about this!

Me either!

A new to me, cool site.

If you have not heard or watched Pentatonix before - this is quite a first introduction!

My new favorite recipe - so good I had to give the results away for fear of eating it all myself! I used toasted hazelnuts rather than the walnuts and almonds listed.

Lastly, beauty in all of this cold!

Reporting next from sunny (hopefully) Florida!
