Hello and Happy new week and Happy March!!! ;)
We greeted the new month (of winter) with a really fun getaway…. we went up north to the country to a lovely family horse farm.
I had no idea winter could be so beautiful…
I guess it only gets stunning when you leave the city and find complete winter bliss in the stillness of the season.
We went for horse-drawn sleigh rides on this adorable family farm.
This was a whole day organized by our daughter’s scout group and we were so thrilled to be part of the fun.
Neither I or Miss G. have been on a real sleigh ride before… wow this was magic! ;)
It’s amazing how beautiful winter can be when you go back to the basics and enjoy a day in the country.
There was also a big outdoor bonfire to keep us warm, which I didn’t take a picture of but it came in very necessary when you needed a little warming ;)
The farmer made homemade sausages on the large bonfire grill… I did not eat them myself and brought my own lunch.
The woods nearby were gorgeous and I was in awe with the surroundings…. I have not enjoyed a winter day like this ever in my life.
We will try to make this an annual winter getaway. For sure. What a way to enjoy a winter wonderland.
So we’re in March and Spring is nowhere to be seen… I checked around all the corners.
Nothing, no warming in sight.
So we just have to bundle up for a little longer and wait it out.
I mean come on, Spring where are you?
This time last year we were hitting seasonal warm days, this year we’re hitting record cold days. Brrr…
How are you my dear friends?
What is making you happy lately? Do tell ;)

That looks wonderful! We’ve had the opposite weather on this side of the Atlantic. I expected winter in Scotland to be harsh and snowy but it’s been oddly mild. Today I spent the day sitting outside on my patio, absorbing sunlight through my skin. It was wonderful. And tomorrow is Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) so we all get to enjoy a hearty breakfast! I’m making crêpes with raw cacao coconut butter and I. cannot. wait. Bring on tomorrow!
Oh wow, your day of enjoying the sunshine on the patio is so dreamy ;)
I would love to do that. Frankly this winter is just too harsh for my liking and it just doesn’t seem that a warm up is even on the horizon ;(
It is pretty but I’m ready for some of that sunshine you’re enjoying ;)
Oh and Pancakes! All my favourite things – sunshine and pancakes! ;) Enjoy!! xo
You my dear live in a winter wonderland and I LOVE it! What is making me happy? Reuniting with friends I haven’t seen in a while and baking. Because baking and cold weather are an obligatory pairing :)
Gabby, you’re so right…. friends and baked goods go together ;)
I love that!!! And something yummy coming out of the oven on a bitter cold day is the best thing you can get ;)
Happy to hear you’re finding so much happiness this winter ;) xo
thank you for sharing your winter wonderland! can you believe that I’ve never seen snow fall from the sky. I’m a native Floridian and haven’t traveled north very often. when I have, there hasn’t been much snow. and, yes, I’ve never seen snow fall. someday…
Oh my Rita Maria ;) Seriously no snow in your life??? Wow! ;)
It is nice (for a bit) but I think by now I could really live in a warm climate like you ;)
Especially that now the internet and social media make it a small world and I see people enjoying the sunshine and warmth any day – it’s kind of rubbing on me ;) lol
I am sure your someday will happen… meanwhile you can just enjoy the flip flops and sun hats because they are great things this time of the year ;) xox
