When I was a kid, I sort of resented having a birthday in February. I couldn't have a cool pool party like my leo sis. But now, it seems so fitting that my special day happens in the midst of my favourite season. I know I sound like a broken record, but I really, really love winter. 
This weekend was perfectly cold, clear and sunny. 
The ideal weather to don my skis and get out to celebrate turning 42. 
The paired-down landscape revealed many treasures.
Also, left-over birthday cake and hot chai tea are the perfect post-ski treat. Who needs a pool party?! Not this northern girl.
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on my last post. You're so encouraging!

I look forward to continuing the celebrations when I see you next weekend.
I hope that knitting is for you because it appears to be some of your favorite colors.

Happy Birthday Nicole!!!
It was a perfect weekend to enjoy the outdoors no?
Blue skies, snow and only a wee bit chilly :)
I some time's feel annoyed at having my birthday in February too if only for the pure and simple fact that its always forgotten!

Happy birthday!
Mine is the 20th of December so it was always overshadowed by Christmas ; ) my parents and now my husband have always made me feel very special despite the busyness swirling around it but I have come to see it as a day within a larger time of celebration. Skiing and cake sound like good accompaniments to yours!
I hope it is a really wonderful year for you xx

I have an early spring birthday and my daughter has a winter one so I agree -- us northern gals know how to celebrate this beautiful season. Happy birthday!

I think having a Winter birthday is just fine, especially when you cosy up in those wonderful knits you make!
Happy Birthday Nicole.

Joyeux Anniversaire!

happy birthday! I also have a February birthday. Being born & raised in the Caribbean, the month made no difference as the change in seasons were seamless to us. Now living in the states, I celebrate my birthday trying to say warm with many layers, friends, family and some tequila (in the form of a margarita). I Love my "winter birthdays"

What lovely photos! (I especially love the embroidered birds in the last photo.) And happy belated birthday! It's funny that you just turned 42 - I'll be 42 in mid-May. :) Stephanie (Ottawa)

Dear Nicole,
I have just stumbled across your blog via Knitsofact and I am so very, very happy to meet another Northern Girl. Winter is my favourite season and February my preferred month since my son was born after Valentine's Day 8 years ago. I love the fact that this month is still in the throws of winter but heralds spring too. I love your snow pictures and the knitting delightsj below are heartwarming.
Happy, belated birthday to you and here's wishing you a glorious year.

Happy belated sweet Nicole!!! How is it possible that you turned 42??? I was sure you were 24! Seeing your snowy photos makes me want to go back to Canada in wintertime. I hope you can make it with M & A, it would be so lovely to see you again ♥
