Wintry Play and Tea

A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas:

“It snowed last year too:

I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down

and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.”

I hope each of you have begun the new year with the delight

of play and then some tea.

Happy New Year, dear friends!

Happy weekend too!

By the way, there is no snow here right now.

It has been unseasonably warm, perfect for a walk.

I can dream I am sitting by the fire, sipping tea, and watching the snow fall.

I walked yesterday morning and ended up getting a guided tour through my back yard neighbor's newly remodeled house, which was beautiful. Then another neighbor who was at his mailbox required me to stop again and we chatted for 1/2 hour - all nice but I didn't walk as far or fast I should have! Bob thought I'd been abducted as I was gone so long!

All the Christmas is 'put away' and I've just candles in lanterns on the front porch, lights in the gazebo for the dark evenings, and candles in the living room for enjoyment while having that afternoon cup of tea.
Today I'm making Mac & Cheese (the 'posh' recipe) for Jasmin who will be stopping by for supper.
Have a pleasant weekend dear.; January 4, 2020 at 6:21 AM

Lorrie said...: I wake up every morning, look out the window, and announce, "no snow". Tim laughs. I keep hoping even as the rain pours down. Lovely to imagine snow. I'll be trying that!; January 4, 2020 at 12:56 PM

Tracy said...: Oooo...love these snowy imagines! And love the lines from A Child's Christmas in Wales... one of my holiday faves, both story and film! Unusually we had NO snow here at Christmas. A more mild winter is predicated for here... and some deny global warming?! :/ Happy days dreaming of snow... ((HUGS)); January 7, 2020 at 6:27 AM
Rosemary said...: Love all your snowy scenes! We finally had our first round of wintry snowy weather yesterday. I should have bundled up and taken a few photos, but alas, stayed warm and cozy and watched the thick wet snow fall like magic.; January 8, 2020 at 12:07 PM
Red Rose Alley said...: These pictures made my heart sing. It's been so long that I played in the snow, Marilyn. The grandkids spent a day playing up in the snow, and I was so happy they got to experience that. Beautiful photos, really.
