52 Card Project 2022: Week 46: Winterize

The lingering warmth of summer and early fall is gone. I've finished the yard chores and put the garden hose away till spring. The snow shovel is now on the back stoop, and I've already used it a time or two this week. I've been making pots of my favorite lentil soup and freezing the leftovers so that whenever I like, I can pull together a hot, delicious dinner when twilight falls--three minutes in the microwave is all it takes. I get into my cozy pajamas at 5 pm, light candles in my living room, turn on some music, wrap myself up in one of my shawls and settle down with tea and a good book.

(Really, do try the soup recipe linked above. It's easy and delicious.)

A woman’s hand holds a ladle of lentil soup above a soup pot, preparing to pour it into a bowl. Lower right corner: a pair of red women’s pajamas with white polka dots. Lower left corner: blue fuzzy women’s gloves with a lit candle in a taper superimposed over them. Upper center, behind soup pot: a black and gray shawl wrap.
