Warm Gifts On This Winter Day

just opened homemade jelly...smells of summer on this cold day...warm homemade bread...loving the reminder of warm days ahead

little boy...reading a book from the shelf...delighted that he can enjoy the story

wobbly letters...made with playdough and cornmeal...showing me his work...proud of his accomplishments

my love working hard...learning to play the banjo...dreaming of the days we gather around the porch and request any song we like

new life hidden in the shadows of the barn...mother hen providing warmth to her eggs in the bitter cold...peeping we hear coming from underneath...peeking we see four new chicks

my love and I sitting by the fire...little ones coming and going...talking...enjoying one another's company

family games on cold winter days...old maid...blokus...laughter...cooperation...time together

sweet little girl...first one awake...crawling into our bed...I love you, Daddy

baby smiles...pudgy cheeks...radiant face...lighting up the room

cold hands...gathered a bucket full of eggs...red cheeks...ready to warm by the fire...steaming mugs of hot chocolate...warm homemade granola...enjoying these cold days together
