Saturday's

We have been blessed with a very mild January with the temperature sometimes rising above zero. But we all knew it couldn't last. This Saturday I was a little surprised when I stepped outside and not only was my car covered in a layer of snow but I actually had to put my mittens on. My plan was to walk down to the library and get some books out but the moment I felt the cold I dug my keys out of my purse and hopped into my car.

I love going to the library. I usually need someone along with me hurrying me along so I don't spend hours there flipping through the books. Skimming them and deciding whether it is a book worth reading now, later or never. Soon my arms get tired and I look down and realize I probably have 15 books. Way to many to take home and I have to choose between my picks. I recently leave some behind with the promise to pick them up next week and I head home.

I put on the water to boil. Make a nice cup of hot peppermint tea and curl up on the couch with my books, and a blanket.

I think its a perfect afternoon.
