Suddenly, it seems like winter here,
It’s been cold, windy and rainy the last few days, but, the temperature has been around 50 degrees. Pretty standard for a Midwestern fall season. But, yesterday afternoon that all change. The wind really picked up and it is now about 32 degrees outside. I dug out every one’s winter coats and I am praying that is doesn’t snow!
However, it is perfect time for a nice cup of hot chocolate!
A little cocoa, a warm blanket, a good movie. I am set. 👍
Stay warm everyone and enjoy-
