Come join me as we take a turn around the farm.........
The windows might look like it's from within a Christmas song (frosted window panes ... ) BUT
outside, and here on "the frozen tundra", as we like to call it, there are 40MPH winds - white outs -no black outs (thank God....because that would = no baked goods/breads/etc).....
*above picture are eclairs I made for an over-the-top awesome person*So........what do you do? with all this blustery snow?...
make a snow fence of course! made out of 3' in diameter snow balls!
(it beats that ugly orange snow fencing!)
not me.........I'm busy in the kitchen............preparing their arrival................
with homemade hot cocoa; real cocoa, sugar, vanilla.......marshmallows............and lots of candles lit.....
I wait......
and wait........
and sip some......
and sip some more........
and simply light up inside with not only the
warmth of the hot cocoa, but their beloved smiles and their
"thank you Mama!!"
man.....do I LOVE this season!! don't you??
Will you adopt me?.....real hot cocoa, sounds too good to be true!!
ReplyDeleteI just get the "warm fuzzies" each time I read your blog. You are my alter ego Anne Marie. Swiss Miss is as good as it gets for me.
I'm just so envious of all you bloggers with snow. We don't get much in the South, you know. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!!
It's such a wonderful time isn't it, Anne Marie.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photograph of the inside of your window.....and those 3' snowballs for the fence. Must have taken ages.
Enjoy that delicious cocoa. I bet that your children are enjoying every minut of the holiday season. XXXX
I am in with Teresa... Will you adopt me too? And my whole gang that comes with me? They are great little helpers?!...;)
ReplyDeleteWhat blessed children! You're a wonderful Mama, I can't think of anything nicer than hot cocoa, after building such a nice snowfence for you.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, the one looking out the window gives such a warm, cozy feeling!
Blessings from,

What beautiful images! I do envy your snow. We have had just a dusting, enough to taunt us but not enough to have fun with.
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, It looks like you're gonna need to add on because I want to join the others in the adoption process. I'd love to help ya bake, but I'll be too busy making a snow fence with the kids!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
A truly beautiful life you have!
Except for the 40mph winds of course.
That's just about the coziest post I've ever read!! Can I come over for some of that warmth and goodness??!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year too!!!
How about this crazy weather?! Hope we keep the white for Christmas!
:) T
Soooooooooo beautiful, and hot cocoa too! This post is so enchanting and cozy. I wish I was your neighbor. Great post!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Gerri
I just finished a big mug of hot chocolate and I am looking out at the snow in the 9 degree temps. Well...you know.
ReplyDeleteLove the fence!! Very innovative! And just looking at the eclairs makes me gain weight.
I agree with everyone, this is the coziest post!

Great, now I need chocolate. This OTP person could use one of those marvelous eclairs right about NOW!!! Looks like you are managing out in the tundra - gotta love that snow play - they come in so tired!
ReplyDeleteI want to be where you are!!! The snow pics are magical...makes me want to move back to NY.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter has your eyes, my friend. She is lovely, lovely.
