Are We So Different?

As the leaves turn and the days cool and become shorter , not unlike the bears and all other  hibernating animals, we too as humans go into hibernation mode.



We start slowing down, spending more time indoors, finding ourselves with more time for the knitting needles, and oh yes, eating.  Well, just like the animals we too have to layer up for the winter.  Don't we?

I must think so, because the other day I had the uncontrolable urge to make orange cranberry scones with almond glaze.  After which, my husband and I began the layering process. Hmmm....perhaps winter isn't so bad after all.
