My grandmother just sent me pictures of home, talking about how cold I'd find it if I wasn't in Utah. Looks like maybe a half inch of snow dusted everywhere... Anyone would think she hadn't been living in Quebec her whole life!

Not risking offending her though. She does send great snacks for Thanksgiving... Makes a nice stash before the other holidays.

Come November, we'll have to swap snacks

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Nah, my October stash is totally lasting me up to Halloween!

[chryseis]

Then no Susannah Quayle made mini rhubarb pies for you!

Given how my grandma's pastries live, I'll survive. Literally. Fairly sure I'd eat nothing else if there was more nutritional value.

[chryseis]

Your grandmother must be a busy woman, providing you with year round pastry packages.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Totally. She lives to spoil her grandkids and make us both fat.

[chryseis]

You're hardly fat, Dominic. Though maybe she's tryna plump you up for the winter months.

I love snow, even if it won't snow here quite yet. Snacks are really the best part of care packages.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Finally an opinion I can get totally on board with!

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

Snacks will always be the best no matter what.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Absolutely. You got good snacks, your day's that bit brighter.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

I'll take even bad snacks, I don't care.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Oh, Katya. You should never have to tolerate bad snacks.

[neattrick]

what kind of snacks?

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Mini pumpkin pies. And bear claws/beaver tails.

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

She wants pics back, I bet. She's totally fishing.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

That does sound like my grandma.

[riledup]

Preeeetty sure fall & winter surprise me every year and I'm like, fuck, this is the coldest it has ever been ever.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

I guess we differ on that one, but fair enough.

[quinning]

Joyeux action de grâce ! But really, spill: what snacks?!

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

She makes these mini pumpkin pie things which are stupid delicious. And bear claws that might yet be the death of me.

[quinning]

Heyyy therrrreeee buddddyyyyyy

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Well, hello there...

[cheerpowers]

Whenever cold weather season comes around, I always find myself shocked and appalled at how cold it is, no matter how long I've known how the weather is. I'm pretty sure it's my defense mechanism for dealing with the awfulness that is winter.

Excluding the excuse to wear cute sweaters and boots, of course!

See, in my home town last year it was below zero from the end of October through the start of March. Didn't come above once. You get used to the cold then... unless you're my grandmother, apparently.
