Hygge

This weekend was declared Hygge Weekend. Hygge is a Swedish concept embracing all things cozy, and a rainy weekend seemed like a perfect time to get a little extra cozy--especially since we were some of the lucky few who never lost power!

I finally perfected a whole grain gluten free bread loaf:

Even the animals embraced the cozy:

It was just what we needed, and I love that fall invites us to create more of these moments.
