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.

ReplyDeleteI sometimes see an ad for a "pick your own" place, but I haven't ever been able to figure out exactly were it is. Maybe this is the year.

My favorite thing to do with apples is to make applesauce. It's easy, a few spices and my crockpot, it make the house smell fantastic, it freezes well, and it tastes amazing.
