Going Into Hibernation
I know it’s spring for all you northerners, but down under winter is creeping up. Frost hits regularly, the tomatoes die, and I go into hibernation mode. This means I make several changes to my routine:
- I lit my first fire last night, and it definitely made things way cozier. It helped that…
- I moved from the summer bedroom into the winter bedroom, which is more like a side lounge but that opens directly into the room with the fire. Downside: No closets. Upside: Warmth ensues.
- I start doing big pots of food on Sundays which keeps until Thursday or Friday. Pumpkin soup (mmmm…), minestrone soup – heck, any kind of soup – but also ratatouille, boilups, etc.
Do you change your routine with the seasons?
