winter reading

I read Tove Janssons Moominland Midwinter. The story of how Moomintroll wakes up too early from hibernation to explore the unknown world of winter is just perfect for these first, quiet days of the year. Quiet and cold. This has been the coldest day so far after we moved to this old house. I keep close to the fire, making plans, writing lists, preparing the first steps into this new year.
