And 20 minutes later…

I’ve deemed Handel’s ‘Messiah’ our sound track for the day. I just set a crock pot full of pears, apples and cinnamon on ‘high’. The Papa is on his way home early, albeit at an excruciatingly slow pace. There is still much, much to be done. Wood and laundry and food and dishes to transport before it’s snowing, terribly icy AND dark. But right now I’m going to sit quietly and finally take the time to address some Yule cards, before heading back out into the storm. I’m hoping beyond a hope that once all the work is done, this afternoon will bring a calm reprieve of sitting by the fire cutting paper snowflakes and working on holiday gifts. Wish me luck!
