a bowl full of oranges







This lovely bowl full of citrus reminds me that in some places

it is sunny and warm.

Here the winds rage outside my windows.

We are expecting 20 inches of snow, 65 mph wind gusts

and another historical high tide.

I think I will spend the day indoors eating oranges.

    20 inches of snow is a lot but something about it sounds quite lovely. You're tucked away indoors enjoying a juicy bowl of oranges while looking out the window as the 65mph wind blows the snow. The worst part of snow is clean up. I love it when I'm snowed in.

    MMMMM - lovely!
    Enjoy your snow - I must say, though, that I'm rooting for spring!

    I love the oranges with their stems and leaves still attached.

    Those oranges are very inviting. They do suggest nice warm sunny weather. It’s still super cold here in Virginia. I can’t wait for spring to come.

    Cool photo. Eating oranges on a blustery days sounds wonderful to me. We finally have rainy weather. I have two baskets full of lemons that I'll make into limoncello and maybe cookies or pudding. :-)

    Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. Your paintings and photos are divine! You are surely so talented. I can almost smell these oranges through my screen.

    We are blustery here tonight, but not expecting the amount you mention. I have a special affection for Oranges. As a child, that was not plentiful to a single mom with three kids so many times a neighbor would share one with me when least expected and they tasted so delicious. I love them fresh cut in a pitcher of iced tea in the Summer time. Wishing you warmer weather soon. :)

    I bought oranges yesterday and it's cold here too. I like your plan of staying indoors and eating citrus!

    I often bypass oranges because I am too lazy to peel them ... but I have been on an orange kick lately - I think my body is calling out for Spring!

    Well, if you have to be stuck inside eating oranges that isn't so bad. My family is in Boston and they have so much snow right now it is nuts. Stay warm. We are eating them like crazy here at our house, but no snow in sight.

    Sending you wishes of warmth (as well as warm wishes) from the Antipodes! Summer ends in a few days time and though it has had its own trial, I shall miss it.

First Snow

  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.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
