Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful but we really have no place to go. So let it snow let is snow let it snow! Do you remember as a child hoping you'd have a snow day so you could stay home from school? Us as adults wishing for snow days too so we can stay home from work. Isn't it nice to curl up by the ol' fireplace and watching the snow fly? This is definitely soup and chili weather, not to mention good reading weather. If you're like me, I always keep a stack of books on hand for weather like this. I live in Virginia and this is a picture of how our roads look today. Ugh, don't they look horrible? My driveway is covered and our county officials are encouraging people to stay indoors and don't go out unless you have too. Luckily, I'm off today and don't have to go anywhere til the end of the week. A good cup of hot cocoa is on my agenda for this evening along with a big bowl of soup. Yum! Yum! What ...
Happy Wednesday everyone. Today on the blog I'm doing something a little different. I have a confession to make. When I was a child, I didn't like to read. Yes, I didn't like to read. You may be wondering, why is he an author if he didn't like to read? Honestly, I asked myself that same question. Through school, the only time I'd read a book if it was a requirement for one of my subjects or my parents made me. Luckily, during the summer my local Library hosted a summer reading program. Shout out to June Pike at Carroll County Public Libary in Hillsville, Virginia for hosting it each year, and the time and effort that goes into it. During those programs each year, she would arrange for different people to stop by. One day "the balloon lady" came. That was fun, and she could make all different kinds of art. Some were animals, and she even made balloon hats. I always enjoyed going to watch her perform and looked forward to seeing the different crea...
If you're like me, you're counting down the day's til Spring makes its appearance. These colder temperatures come to an end and the warmer weather rolls in. Also, the leaves come to life and show their green color again. Spring means a lot of time outside, and endless household projects. Ugg. Sometimes change can be a good thing. I'll admit, I'm not much on change, but I do like to see the different seasons. From spring to summer, summer to fall, and fall to winter. I like to see families outside having picnics in the summertime. Evening rides on the back roads. And not to mention summer vacations. Days spent at the lake, long walks, and hikes. Oh, how I wish it was springtime! This picture says it all. Just a little longer and it'll be here. What's your favorite thing to do during the spring season? I like how the earth wakes up, the grass gets greener, the leaves return and the warmer days. One more thing I like about spring, is the birds ...
