November

It's crazy to think that it's November! Today we drove to my Grandma's house and there was snow all over the place, although though it was just a thin crunchy layer, it was still so much fun to see. The air was bitter and cold. Though only animal souls wandering about were the deer. The rest were hibernating probably, or something like that. The sky was thick with layers of melancholy clouds, refusing to show anything more than a glimpse of sunshine. Pasta, salads, and baguette were merrily served, as we sat and talked in the warm dining room.  After dinner my Grandma allowed us to enjoy a very scrumptious dessert, homemade donuts from the Amish(so good). The sugar sweet white icing was glazed over the baked dough. With every bite it just reminds you how unique and absolutely delicious this delicacy is. As hot water was set to boil preparing for the evening coffee, me and 2 of my brothers went into the basement to get the Christmas ornaments to decorate my Grandma's tree. Coffee served, Christmas music softly playing, a Christmas movie to enjoy in the living room with me, Caleb, and Jonathan digging through the Christmas tote, attaching hooks to all the hook less ones. Soon the tree was starting to come together spots here and there were quickly filled in with shiny red, gold, and green bulbs. White bulbs embroidered  with glitter were hung to accent the white lights and the angel resting on top with her maroon gown. Bubble lights were strung as my rosy cheeked Grandma told us of how she had bubble lights when she was younger. It was a precious moment, and one I will cherish. My brothers sat on either sides of the green carpeted living room goofing around and watching sponge bob.  I was a little annoyed at them for picking and not giving me the silence I needed to make sure this tree was properly dressed.They really wanted to go outside in the snow, so my Dad took them out just for a couple minuets, but that was enough time to finish the tree. The lights were strung, ornaments hung, and all plugs plugged in. The tree lit up with a lovely glow, standing there in awe, the pretty tree looked round and full. My Grandma sent us off and before leaving made sure I picked some ideal magazines to borrow (love those things). With hands waving, we pulled away onto the road. We then drove ten minutes to get to my Mammaw and Pappa's house and stayed they're for a couple hours. We sat and talked and simply enjoyed each others company. That was my day....a day in November.

October's Warmth

Rain fell softly against the fogged windows, the welcoming warmth embraced my chilled skin. Hot water simmered over the gas stove. I poured the steaming water into my petite white tea pot. Organic earl grey spices flavored the warm drink. I had a delightful little char with myself. Robust potatoes were rinsed, boiled, mashed, and served with spiced steak and cooked broccoli. Finishing, I scarfed down a doughnut. Our scrumptious meal was fit for a king. Rain still descending, soaking my shoes with every step. Joining my family we sat huddled in a circle tossing and rolling dice, formally a game known as Yahtzee. I must get going now for the time is getting late, I hope you enjoyed this little musing, now published through the blogging gate. (trying to rhyme, LOL)

Jesus loves you!!!!!

Todd & Anya Wedding part 1

The day was perfect for a September wedding. (that definitly had to do with God) The air was crisp and cool, the sun shined against the rich, full, scrumptious apple trees. The sweet scent of kettle corn popping, the light bustle of the long grass gently soothed the anticipated guests. Family hugged and greeted one another with hugs and kisses. The next thing you knew the seated attendees slowly turned to face rear landscape painted with a blue sky, green grass, farmers market filled with pumpkins, homemade jam, and fresh produce. A bulky blue tractor carried a simple wood wagon where the bride and her bridesmaids eagerly awaited. The tractor pulled to halt, and the ceremony began. The bridesmaids with the country styled outfits were sweetly escorted by the well dressed groomsmen down the soft isle of pictures elegantly lined with bouquets of fall flowers. The bride in her lace lined gown followed. The groom excitedly stared at his wife to be. Her eyes floated and a glowing smile shown upon her face. The rest of the event carried on with the vows as the held hads never wanting to let go and said "I do."

Jesus loves you!!!!!!!
