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.

It's going to be in the 80s here this weekend. Its Wisconsin. So I cannot pumpkin patch until it gets into a more reasonable 60. Like the next week.
ReplyDeleteCheezi baby!!! So good to see you! Ugh, us too and the 10 day says 60s next weekend but I'll believe it when I see it as I've watched those things change many times as it gets closer. ,š
DeleteI want the pumpkin cookies and apple cider donuts but I don't want the crowds. Plus I'm with Cheezchick on the temperature needing to be lower. But either way it's time for the horror movies!
ReplyDeleteWord up. We need to find a place where you can order online and they bring it to your car. Or we go at 10am on a Tuesday.
DeleteMy plans for the weekend are 1) watching Freddy vs Jason, and 2) Sunday, since it's officially October watching It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown! I have been obsessed with Charlie Brown since I was around 5 and used to cut out Charlie Brown comic strips out of the news paper! I might make some apple crisp also.
ReplyDeleteAww, that means you'll be watching the nuggety Jason Ritter! I think we're going to start working on Halloween/Fri the 13th. There is no more squishy inducing comfort than a Charlie Brown special especially the Great Pumpkin. Ooh, apple crisp sounds awesome! You've got the perfect Fall weekend ahead!
DeleteWe are 85 degrees on average the next five days....boooooo! The leaves are already changing and the day was very yellow with leaves on the ground. Not quite sure of weekend plans other than working tomorrow for month-end. Need to get some grocery shopping done and one more load of laundry.
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend and get out and about for a drive if you can! P.S. AWESOME job with the walking/exercise this week!!!!!!
OMG, those are horrible temps and we're right there with you too. So unnatural! We walked tonight and it was 73 but this grody muggy 73 and we were getting attacked by gnats so I immediately showered. Sounds like a productive weekend ahead and thanks so much on the walking. It's nice to put Mom's smiley stickers up every day on the calendar. It's like she's cheering us on! :)
