Cold, blustery days with snow skittering into patterns
Big snowflakes that pile on the ground just waiting for a metamorphosis
The smell of gingerbread men baking in the oven
The tinkling sound my grandson’s laughter makes as he slumbers
The pink cashmere scarf I saw in Boston and still yearn for
Twinkling lights on a Christmas tree
A violin rising and falling in a lilting phrase
Rapid-fire wit from a dear friend
Frost-etched lace on the window
Expressive fingers that create, soothe, and dance
A lavender sky that melts into violet twilight
Hot tea in my favorite Christmas mug
A pyramid of wood glowing in a brick fireplace
A merry turn across the living room
Dreaming of you
What things do you love today?

I am enjoying the sound, of the heater kicking in. I am so grateful for warmth, in our home.
Oh sweetie, you just made my day, with this post.

Ohhh..thank you for coming for a visit, Christina. And I'm sure glad I have a warm home, too. The temperature this morning is in the low teens with a whistling wind.
ReplyDeleteOh what an inspiring list, Teresa! I love your turn of phrases with rapid fire wit and tinkling grand's slumbering sounds, there are few things as delightful as a violin well played. One thing that comes to mind at the moment is the anticipation of the family coming to celebrate the holidays. It sets my mind humming with planning, something I love to do. :-)

That gingerbread looks so wonderful, I do have a great recipe......
ReplyDeleteHi Frances,
ReplyDeleteI too love the planning and coming together with family during the holidays. Isn't it a wonderful time?
My gingerbread men recipe has been passed down from generation to generation. I'm posting the recipe in a few days. Saturday is earmarked as gingerbread day with the little one, which means Fuji moments to share.
Thank you for your kind comments.
At this time of year, I love when the mailman arrives with cards and letters from friends and family, many overseas. I love sitting by the fire and catching up with their news.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me stop and think about the blessings of the season. Thank you. Pamela
