First snow of the year

During the night some snow actually fell and if you happen to live in the northern parts of Stockholm you woke up to a white world this Thursday morning in early January of 2007 - this year's first snow!

Just as the Spring-feelings had begun to show, with more or less hesitant little buds here and there. I do hope they'll survive this touch of snow, touch of evil cold, ready to crush that tender, eager hope of warmer days.

Oh it's nearly unbearable to think about really, perhaps one has to soak those thoughts in something that makes one warm from inside out.

Perhaps a little, or more, taste of homemade, absolutely delicious (if I may say so myself) mulled saffron and spice wine (glögg). With scalded almonds and raisins - oh yes, that's the perfect way to forget those troublesome days of little, tiny, tender buds of Spring in January.
