Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It...














I feel somewhat responsible for this snow, having prayed for it at the behest of my children for most of the winter, and even though it came in the middle of March, instead of January or February when it would have been more proper, I must say, we were all rather pleased with our answer to prayer!

 We even got a special bonus with our snow day, when the shop where Wesley works closed and he got to spend the day at home with us, so that was a rare treat!!!

 The children got a shortened school day, plus a lot of time outdoors shoveling and sledding, Wesley worked on the taxes and made his specialty snow-cream, and I had more peace and quiet in the house than usual and was inspired to make a double batch of Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls, so I think we all took advantage of what we were given!

Indeed, it was one of the best snow days I could have hoped for, complete with a fire in the hearth and one of my favorite foods on earth (think warm cinnamon rolls dripping with cream cheese icing and dunked in coffee!!!) Even so...

I assure you that I will henceforth be praying for Spring.

Beginning now.

    I'm glad you all enjoyed your snow day. I've discovered I really miss some things about snow days.

    I meant to comment on this one when I first read it, but better late than never and the comment will still be the same: I AM COMING OVER RIGHT NOW FOR ONE (OR TWO!) OF THOSE CINNAMON ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) Those right there are one of my favorite things to make, and one of my daddy's all time favorite treats. :) Guess I'd better make up a pan of my own soon, huh?! Love, Sarah A.

Tea & A Good Book Brewing- Installment 7, Footprints on the Ceiling with a Give-away!

Image
Today I am very excited to share what's brewing in my teapot:  my very first book review with a give-away !!!! Nevermind the wind that's howling and the temperature that's dropping outside! Nevermind how absolutely dreary November can be! I have the perfect solution for warming up from the inside out... Can you possibly guess what it is? Before I introduce you to the book I am reviewing, though, I want to tell you a little about the author, Dorcas Smucker, and how I made her acquaintance in the first place... A little more than a year ago, at my 30th birthday party, my Mom gave me a book called Tea and Trouble Brewing , by Dorcas Smucker. I  had never heard of this author, but I was delighted with a new book...and especially one with a really cute teapot on the cover! I enjoyed the book very much and felt that I had a new kindred spirit out there, albeit one I have never met! After all, Dorcas loves tea and feels that it is the perfect start to her morning

New Words for a New Year

I did something today that I haven't done in months. I crept into my blog and looked at the stats. In the past, this was something that I did several times a day, pushing the "refresh" button to see how many visitors had stopped by my site and from whence they came. In my past life, checking stats invigorated me, and seeing good stats or- glory be!- a comment, could spur me on to writing and publishing the next post. It shouldn't surprise me, then, that it had a similar effect on me today. I would have thought that after this long stretch of neglect, the lines showing the amount of visitors to my site would be rather flat. After all, if the author can forget about her blog, certainly the audience has forgotten it as well. But no, there they were, numbers that puzzled and surprised me. Numbers that fanned a low burning flame. It was time to get back to writing. The only problem is where to start. It has been 15 months since I last published

Noteworthy

Ever have an urge to write on a rainy Monday morning when it its high time to get school started, and the dirty laundry is giving you reproachful looks, and the beds are unmade and rumpled, and the baby is still in his pajamas even as the clock strikes 9? Me too. I have learned that if there is such a thing as a Writer's Law, it certainly includes this: a writer will always and forever have his or her most inspiring thoughts at the most inconvenient times! Indeed. Ten times out of ten, my best thoughts for writing come to me either in church, as I am walking into Wal-Mart, or when I am zipping about the house in the midst of a crazy morning when I don't even have time to finish my coffee, much less sit down and write. This is why setting aside a time every day or even every week would not work for me! Faced with a spot of time when I could actually write, I am always faced with another, darker problem: a blank head! So what is the solution? Apparently, some of the t
