Below Zero Temperatures

Not only are the outside temperatures below freezing, but they are below zero degrees Fahrenheit…with wind chills about -27 degrees, according to Alexa.

Looking out on our back yard from our living room window.

So what does one do in these subzero temperatures?

It would be a great time to go through the closets, or files, or piles of paper on desks…or to clean out the kitchen cupboards, or do some deep cleaning in the basement…

Did I do any of those? 

Nope…

On this gray, cloudy, bitterly cold day we stayed inside. I turned on the oven and made some peanut butter cookies (using my mom’s recipe),

It’s been a long time since I made peanut butter cookies.

then curled up by the fireplace and read all afternoon.

Ah, the warmth of a fireplace…

And it was good.

Now, what will the coming week bring…it is supposed to be below zero all week…

  1. Your answer to how to spend a below zero day is perfect! Like a spa day, really, in front of a fireplace reading a good book.

    This posting REALLY felt good to read as I face a day of “shoulds”.
    I’m feeling like there is ample time for both cozying up and some “shoulds”.

    Those cookies looked good….

    1. Thanks Suzanne.

      I know what you mean, but be careful with the “shoulds”. 😉

      I love cookies.

  2. It has also been this cold in Norway and we have a kot of snow😅
