Yesterday at Falmouth DQ – don’t worry, the line is long even now!
It’s Official!
Twenty-four degrees and with a biting wind, but DQ opened yesterday! Forget songbirds and daffodils, this is the real sign of Spring.
February on Cape Cod
Ground’s not frozen. Rhodies are being moved up the hill from the house being sold because the buyers didn’t want them. Bill Bourne, West Falmouth’s own “mountain man”, is behind the wheel.
Cape Cod Hygge, Part 1
“Hygge” is the newest cool experience, according to Pinterest, the Washington Post, and just about every other site I’ve been reading. If you haven’t run across it yet, it’s a Danish word meaning coziness, more or less. (It’s pronounced “HOO-gah”.)
Apparently, the word is used constantly in Denmark, which has about 8 months a year of weather that calls for a lot of hygge. Practiced properly, it encompasses your space, your people, and your intention. “A conducive environment is key to experiencing hygge,” says Danish ambassador Lars Gert Lose.
Yesterday was a good day to create hygge. I had both Jotul stoves going, all the lights on in the house, and a soup simmering on the stove. These began as an effort to at least start off warm and with something hot to eat when the power would go off, which was a highly likely possibility given the howling wind and thunder snow.
Then I decided it would be a good idea to soak in a hot bath – before the power went off. And after, in my warmest flannels, check in with all my friends, inviting over everyone who had already lost power. If I weren’t so hyper about work obligations, I definitely would have curled up with a good book.
An Anthem for the Times
Take a look and listen to this awesome song on YouTube, an anthem to women everywhere demanding to be heard.
And on this day of wild weather on Cape Cod, stay snug and power-ful!
