And There was Joy across the Land

It’s a snow day! Children are outside writing “hi” in the snow on my car and trying to make a snowman out of a basketball. Their perfect snow day–go outside, get sloppy wet, and track it all back in.

Me, my perfect snow day is warm inside, baking something that smells good, curling up with a book. I cooked a big honey ham the other day, so I’m baking bread for sandwiches. Bread’s rising in a bowl already, coffee’s on, and I’ve got plenty of good books. You?

More joy! My new favorite thing–the garden window for the kitchen!!! Isn’t this adorable? It has a shelf, and the sides have screens where I can open the window for air flow. Like when I burn stuff. :cowsleep:

The windows are almost all in now, so it was very exciting to go out to the house yesterday to see.

And here’s the front door!!!

The neatest thing about the front door isn’t the door. It’s the wireless doorbell. And it’s not that it’s wireless (which is neat, but I’m not that interested in this techno stuff….). What’s neat about the doorbell is that it plays 64 selectable tunes that you can change out whenever you want, such as Jingle Bells, Happy Birthday, bird sounds, etc. Is that fun or what? Princess is going to be all over this doorbell….. Maybe it was a mistake…. :eek: But I couldn’t resist!!!

If you’re holed up in the snow today, here’s something else to read–an interview with some of your favorite Silhouette Romantic Suspense authors at Dandelion!

One more note–I’ve approved my new design and it should be going on the blog sometime soon. I hope there won’t be any technical difficulties during the implementation, but if there are, please bear with me! It’s gonna be beautiful. :heart:

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
