Still snowed in and grateful for this gift of time.
With no school, no work, no projects, no schedule, no lessons, no commute, (and today-no driving), we have been blessed with time to simply be together.
When else do I have the opportunity to snuggle with Madi and Leasie--way past their bedtime--and watch the entire new PBS Emma series?
When else do we have daily fires in the fireplace and nightly smores?
When else do we enjoy three meals a day all together...five days in a row?
When else is our yard transformed into a winter playground equiped with slides, tunnels, and chutes (and the children play outside for HOURS)?
When else do board games take precedence over laundry?
When else can I invite friends over, at the last minute, on a weekday evening, for homemade chili and a movie?
When else do we have the daily opportunity to help out neighbors?
When else do we drop everything and sit down at the table, in the middle of the afternoon, to devour a delivery of steaming homemade rolls?
When else can we watch the storm rage, the snow drifts climb higher than the cars, and the trees disappear--and feel so very blessed?
