It's not the taste, it is the smell, the feeling it creates when baking in the right mood happens without time pressure and expectations. It's never the same in the other seasons, it's only at Christmas... :)

*in between
In between the snow days we had some misty, wet days where everything was bathed in the most wonderful green tones. The lichens on the branches were glowing and nature was soaking up gratefully the rain after that exceptional dry year.

*the snow
I could not imagine a world without ice and snow. Although it's so inhospitable for a human to live in the cold, it's same time amazingly refreshing for all senses.

*more frosty tones
It just started to snow in this very moment. Huge snowflakes are hovering slowly to the ground. I made gingerbread which left the sweetest smell in the home and today I want to make one of my favorite sort of chocolate cookies. Have you started baking Christmas cookies yet? Which are your favorites?

*frosty tones
Colorwise this is my favorite time of the year, especially when the first morning frosts have set in. All is glittery and still. What a magical time! Have a nice second Advent weekend!

*of winter fruits and nests full of rose hips
Do you know medlars? They ripen after the first frosts and taste very unique and people who try them for the first time might need a little to get used to the taste, but I really like them and think of having my own medlar tree in the garden sometime.
On one of my walks I spotted a bird nest which was filled to the top with rose hips. It was hard to get a decent picture, because the nest was surrounded by thorny branches, but I really had to take one. The thought of the bird stuffing his nest with all those rosehips amused me somehow.
Have a lovely first Advent weekend!
