Please do not post in this challenge until Monday February 6!

Google tells us that the word COZY is an adjective referring to “anything that gives us a feeling of comfort, warmth, or relaxation.”

In this week’s challenge, show us what “cozy” is for you!

Wherever my dear mom was, that was cozy for me!


Anyplace indoors - with flowers in winter - is ultra-cozy for me


Actually a warm, woolen Mexican blanket I bought in Acapulto in 1981. Cozy!


Cozy-inducing color through glasses in the sunlight


I've always thought the room atop this place would feel extremely cozy


Music makes many activities feel cozy - even driving in heavy traffic!


My spectacular friend "Winter" was a neighbor's dog who visited absolutely everyone for "num-num." She used to be sitting on my back-door stoop when I opened the door every day. I'd feed her and then pet her. She was also my walking partner and BFF!


This is the 1976 version of Joe. When you live with a superlative mom and uncle, everything is cozy and full of love!

All look mighty cozy, Joe. Thank you for hosting another challenge. Is that a Victrolla record player❓.
I had a whole lot of cozy feelings while looking through our archives of snap shots to scan and Dad’s Marine photo album. And the day of the funeral as we celebrated his life with all the living relatives was made especially cozy as we visited with all at our hotel’s breakfast area as the softest, fluffiest snow drifted slowly down…..

…and piled up where it fell. No wind and sitting inside looking out…… yeah, cozy.

...Cozy, when it is cold outside. I took this photo in a rural house, in February 2021, during a winter vacation in Saint-Laurent-de-L'Île-d'Orléans (province of Québec, Canada). Photo: Pierre Bouillon.

Some things that conjure up "cozy" for me.

A fireplace or wood stove


My fleece lined flannel lounge pants and wool clogs

Cozy pretty much is defined by my two pups...as evidenced in these pics.

Nothing like relaxing in front of the fire...

My 11-year old dog pretty much defines "cozy" for me.

I don't know if it's a Victrola. When I stole it from the museum, I didn't get a chance to look at the name 🤪. You know I'm joking, right Taken at the Laporte County Museum, IN, where they have so much stuff from the old days, it is always good for spending three hours and getting some awesome shots. The only problem is, although I am a property tax payer there - and pay more than some residents - I have to pay double the entry because I am not a resident 90-year old cashier always says, "So sorry, Sir " Anyway, I love your start of a snow cake on the picnic table
