Not only are the outside temperatures below freezing, but they are below zero degrees Fahrenheit…with wind chills about -27 degrees, according to Alexa.
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),
then curled up by the fireplace and read all afternoon.
And it was good.
Now, what will the coming week bring…it is supposed to be below zero all week…
Cookies all week!
Great idea!
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….
Thanks Suzanne.
I know what you mean, but be careful with the “shoulds”. 😉
I love cookies.
This sounds like the perfect way to spend a frigid day. Baking cookies and reading.
Thanks Audrey. It was a very nice day.
It has also been this cold in Norway and we have a kot of snow😅
Sounds like you did the right thing baking cookies and then sit by the fireplace reading😃
Would you send me the recepie for the peanutbutter cookies please😃 in an email.
Take care in the cold weather and stay warm and safe🥰
I will send you the recipe in an email Kari.
You take care too…in the cold and snow.
