Stop on by for some hot cider any day of the week - it's on the stove all winter long for cold wayfarers.<BR/><BR/>jocelyn, welcome back! I thought maybe you were just lurking. <BR/><BR/>parlance, similar to gluhwein but not quite as potent. But it has the same warming effect.<BR/><BR/>ms chica, you know, there are some chores we are not allowed to do without supervion. I think it's in their contract.<BR/><BR/>julie p, hello & welcome! I think this is the first time I've seen you here. And yes, I LOVE "Smilla's Sense of Snow". In fact, I think I need to re-read it since when I last read it I was on the equator and I might view it differently from here.Wayfarer Scientistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996334636311497271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-54141504519656740472007-11-16T02:36:00.000-09:002007-11-16T02:36:00.000-09:00Your blogs always leave me feeling cold, so you mu...Your blogs always leave me feeling cold, so you must be doing the descriptions well!

Have you read it?<BR/><BR/>My dog misses it most (a Lab!).

I liven in a totally different environment and I shudder at even the thought of living where you do, but I feel as if I can experience it as I read your blog.<BR/><BR/>I particularly love the image of the lone footprints filling with snow as you head off for that hot apple cider. I've had gluhwein at the Christmas Market in Nuremberg and it was so cold that I thought I'd freeze to the spot if not for the warm drink - is your hot apple cider like gluhwein?parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908003946850783762.post-45294636637640449632007-11-14T21:42:00.000-09:002007-11-14T21:42:00.000-09:00I don't know how or why I stopped tracking your bl...I don't know how or why I stopped tracking your blog--but heavens, I'm glad to be back.<BR/><BR/>Your post here reminds me why I adore descriptive writing.
