Snow Day



This is my kind of snow day.

Gently sifting white confetti.

Tranquil.

Peaceful.


Made from scratch beef stock.

Liquid love.

Simmering.

Its warm aroma fills our little home.


I'm content.


And more blessed than a woman has a right to be.


"If you surrender completely to the moments 
as they pass, you live more richly those moments."

    So many winter scenes this week - very nice one here as well. Oh how I remember my mother's home-made stews in the winter. I'm the only one who eats soup at home now, so I stick to the canned stuff - ugh!

      Thanks for popping in, Nicki. Soup is our mainstay for lunches. There are some respectable canned soups now, but nothing that beats homemade. Sometimes I freeze individual portions for later. Maybe that could work for you. ? Cheers.

    What a beautiful scene! We have had some of those days lately too, where the snow falls gently all day without much accumulation. Your words create a peaceful mood, filled with gratitude. Enjoy your day!

    I like your snow picture and the quote of Anne Morrow Lindbergh is something I must remember to do, how true that is.
    Happy Weekend - Betsy
