Cold, clouds and more cold and clouds. That was what our January in Pennsylvania was all about and that meant we spent most of it inside, wishing it was sunny and warm and we were outside. We did break out of the house a couple of times, bundled up, to try our best to be lovers of all things cold. We usually lasted about twenty minutes each excursion before we were back inside, huddled under blankets, sipping tea, reading books and watching our new addiction, the Canadian sitcom “Corner Gas”, which we found on Amazon. During the week-long artic freeze we didn’t leave the house at all, other than my husband who had to go to work, which luckily isn’t too far from our house.
Our cabin fever was so bad I was a little concerned my daughter might never change out of the footed pajamas her grandparents gave her for Christmas.
Our cold adventures included playing outside (20 minutes at a time), attending science classes for the local homeschooling group (learning about trees), a trip to Ithaca, NY, (cold, so not much exploring, I’m afraid) and a hike with my dad to his pond to see if it was frozen enough for us to walk on it (spoiler alert: it wasn’t).

Lovely 🙂 I have been pretending to have enough energy to go out while the children sled. Why do they enjoy the cold so much, lol? I would much rather be inside sitting under the warm blankets! God Bless!

So cool! I know the set isn’t there anymore but I told my family we should go up to Saskatchewan sometime. It looks flat and boring but cool at the same time !

It looks so cold! We have been in a bit of a heat wave (with a week at 40C a few days of cool and another week at 40C) so your images were so refreshing. Though I suspect you would be dreaming of warmer weather.
Is that a frozen water fountain?!?
Great set of images, Lisa. I especially love the footed PJS sticking out from under the freezer door.

We are definitely dreaming of warmer weather. Yes! And what looks like a fountain is actually a sculpture but the week of the arctic cold I am sure there were some frozen fountains.

Beautiful. Love those footed pjs 😛 We haven’t had as crazy cold weather as you, but I’m sure ready for spring and summer!

Love the images, Lisa. I’d hardly call them blah. They’re authentic and honest; exactly as they should be.
