“Faint music rings in world and dell,
The tinkling of a distant bell,
Where homestead lights with friendly glow,
Glimmer across the drifted snow.”
-L.M. Montgomery
The first (and second and third!) snow has fallen on Prince Edward Island. It, as always, is absolutely magical and completely welcomed by our family, especially the children. Ever year, with the first snowfall, we (loudly) play “First Snow of the Year” and celebrate. It is an exciting moment for our family!
We have now officially entered one of my favourite seasons – the restful season of winter. This season embraces a full routine of home education, delicious winter-inspired home cooked meals (although home cooking is a year round activity here), weekly winter skating, tea breaks in the afternoon, frosty outside play time and cozy lit nights in a comfortable, warm house. This, indeed, is a wonderful season, if you embrace the blessings that come along with the slow season of frosty mornings and dark evenings.
“I want to live a life that doesn’t require an alarm clock —
one that I can’t wait to wake up and start living each day.”
J. Becker
Over the years, our home life has been cultivated into something I feel is rather special. I’m not sure how others live their day to day routines, but it feels so comfortable and interesting in our home life. I often want to share this secret life with others, but am not sure exactly who wants to hear it … I would like to do a little blog series on home living and the comforts of home, especially in the winter months. Would you be interested?
I hope you, too, are enjoying the season of this wonderful winter.
