I grew up in Colorado- a state where you could see snow as early as September and as late as June. I love living in Washington now, but sometimes I miss snowy days. I don’t really miss the dirty grey mounds on the side of every road, the black ice, or the sleet that either needs to give up or go all in. What I miss is that exquisite quiet that comes with a heavy white blanket; the peaceful mesmerizing hourglass of falling flakes; the magic of hot chocolate that makes numb cheeks and cold fingers disappear to the tune of childhood nostalgia. I had a glorious walk this morning in some fantastic PNW fog, but my heart almost wishes it was snow. So I’m having a double mocha for my afternoon pick-me-up. Brewed coffee mixed with mocha drinking chocolate, topped with my singular artificial guilty pleasure- Jet Puffed marshmallows. (The health food ones just don’t compare.) ❄️ ☕️ ❄️ #coffee #coffeetoo #coffeegram #hotcocoa #drinkingchocolate #mocha #marshmallow #marshmallows #mug #anthromug #hotchocolate #pnw #pnwonderland #colorado #homestate #coloradonative #mochagram #theartofslowliving #pickmeup #afternoonpickmeup #mugshot (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD1lBhFija/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l7hnyqhzgvbh
