Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!! I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic. I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again. Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers. We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table. We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases. The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing. Th
Such a pleasant, beautiful, warm and loving image of the season!!

ReplyDeleteI love such moments, they're sweet. One of the joys of Christmas time! Love how you captured that moment here.
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful tree, and a lovely, serene poem as well.
ReplyDeleteI love to lay on the floor near the Christmas tree with the lights on and remember what fun it was when our children were young. Christmas has a more spiritual meaning to me now as I grow older. Too bad I was so busy when I was younger to really reflect on it. Beautiful photo.
