Yes, its cold and snowy and they say it is going to get worse! We have our candles out, the wood stacked and the lanterns ready to go just in case the ice takes a toll on the electric lines. It is funny how I look forward to these kind of days. Everyone in the family has to slow down because they have no where to go with the streets so icy. My boys play board games (who knew they were still around) and cuddle up on the couch to listen to me read a book (The original Wizard of Oz). We make sure that we have the brownies baked just in case we can't cook later. Chocolate is always a good survival food ! And we actually talk to each other. Its not that our family doesn't talk, but with a fast past life, conversations are limited and not with the detail you have when you have time to slow down and enjoy each other. As I am gazing out the window at the winter birds happily enjoying the snow, I thank God for these slow, warm , cozy days inside my home.
