embracing winter :: number 1

I'm trying. Really really trying to embrace winter, to find some joy in this season of brrrrrr.

I think I'll start with my latest issue of Sunset, which featured several gorgeous winter getaways that seem positively blissful, snow included, and not just for skiers. Winter never seemed so inviting! So today I'm fantasizing about a weekend of solitude and crackling fires and mountainside bistros and about snuggling up in one of these cozy cabins.
