Warm Weather Hygge

By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures."   There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back.  There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip. Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy.  Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.  Being a hyggephant, I can tell you that I never associated warm wea...

What I'm Reading This Week #42

Happy Friday y'all!

What's shakin' party people?  All four cheeks and a couple of chins here.  (Points if anyone knows what that's from without Googling it!)  It has been a glorious full week of Fall weather with temps in the mid 30's some mornings which makes dawdling on our morning walks not an option.  I would much rather have to slip on my thermals and have cold cheeks than be a sweaty, hot beast.  I know when it gets really cold, we're likely going to have to flip some stuff around and walk in the evenings when it's above freezing.  But I'll take it for now.  My morning walks allow my mental hamster to get a workout but it might have to switch to morning yoga when the snow is flying.

But enough of that, let's fly into...

We don't have much planned Saturday that I'm aware of and now that it looks like his crud is trying to settle into my chest, we may just be watching movies all day Saturday.  (Oh Lord, we just finished The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix.  Not fans...hours of our lives we can't get back.)   I'd like to go leaf peeping somewhere before that windstorm that comes every year blows the color off the trees.  I'd also like to carve a pumpkin this year but time is winding down since next weekend is the last one in October.  Sigh.

What are you guys doing this weekend?

  1. Sorry you got the crud from me. I am still fighting it too. It's the slow moving ones that suck the most and this one keeps coming back harder just when I think I feel better. I hope that is not the case for you.

  2. I have a meeting in the morning then I'll be heading out to the burbs to see a friend for lunch. We'll find out today if the hubs has to work tomorrow. We'll grocery shop on Sunday and I'll need to get some house stuff and laundry done with Saturday being taken up.
    Have a super weekend!! Enjoy these fall temps! =o)
