Spring is currently on hold

I honestly think that the weather gods read my blog. 

This is what I wrote in February:

People are starting to look forward to the spring. I’m still hoping for snow.

The first flowers started to bloom. Their gracious blossoming was interrupted by lots of snow and cold temperatures. 

Spring is currently on hold. 

Love,
Sara

Finally going back to the mountains. 

A full week of snow, cold and skiing in the Alps sounds perfect right know (as it always does).

Oh Canada

(mittens/boots)

Our winters are nothing compared to the Canadian cold and snow.
But a girl can dream, right?

Love,
Sara

You may remember this place from the other post I did about this enchanted arboreous spot.

I can honestly say that I would love to live there. I wouldn’t say no to an isolated little cottage in the woods.
It even gets more magical once the first snow has fallen…


Have a great first week of February,
Sara
