Winter-Time
Saturday, February 3rd, 2018
Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.
Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.
The Snow Ball

On the ‘warmest’ day of January we held our Snow Ball. The lovely Brambly Hedge Winter Story gave me the idea to celebrate Winter in the dead of Winter. We had a fancy meal, played a game and held a dance of course.
On the Menu:
Chili
Donut Snowmen
“Cold Cuts”
milk and water aka melted snow
Cheese stck snowmen
Ice cream
Hot chocolate
Snowmen carrot noses
Boiled egg snow balls.
Snow Fun
Monday, January 15th, 2018
So far this Winter has not been the play out in the snow kind of Winter. If there has been a decent amount of snow it’s been brutally cold outside or windy or both. We have had only a few days of outside time, so last weekend whent the temps soared into the 40s I ordered the babies outside as quickly as they could go to enjoy the snow and the warmth while it lasted!
