Washington is freezing….not as cold as Minnesota or Chicago, but 28 degrees at night is just such a difference than Florida’s 41 degrees at night. Since it’s been so cold I have been drinking tea like crazy to try and keep myself warm. I wanted to make my special Spiced Apple-Cranberry Cider for our Sunday family dinner we’ve been having. I just love making hot drinks on cold evenings. Probably even more so now since in Florida it just is never cold enough. I included some pictures of the morning frosts we’ve been having to prove that it is COLD here and how beautiful it is up here! Enjoy!

Fuh-reezing!

I mean I love waking up and seeing frost everywhere…it’s like it had a light snow dusting!
