10 january
(1)
thursday was the coldest I remember it ever being
the temperature was -1 when I woke but the wind chill made it feel like -20!
that's Fahrenheit degrees not Cecilius!
(2)
It was warmer the next day and we got a dusting of snow
which I would rather have than the blasty cold
i love walking the wood in the snow
(3)
on my kitchen window sill there are three jars
full of sea glass
they glisten and gleam in the morning sunlight
(4)
there is cake for breakfast with my coffee this morning
oatmeal cinnamon cake with a trace of chocolate on the top
which I baked yesterday
it warmed up the house and made everything smell spicy and sweet
winter mornings are good for cake at breakfast time
and long walks in the low light of an early afternoon

Celtic Blessing
I arise today through the strength of heaven
light of sun, radiance of moon
splendor of fire, speed of lightning
swiftness of wind, firmness of rock.
Beautiful picture!

I want to get out more to walk but our weather and the wind chill is not very motivating. Your photo or the possibility of finding something like it, might get me "out there!"
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. We had awful cold here too, they even closed the schools for a day!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, all 'round but it is the cake at breakfast that will stay with me. The savouring of a simple pleasure - and we don't give ourselves enough simple pleasures in this complicated world.
ReplyDelete#1 Beautiful image. What is the plant?

#3 Sea glass is wonderful.
#4 Sounds great, I enjoyed my eggs with homemade bread and strawberry jam.
