a weekend’s gratitude

Leftovers and piecemeal dinner;

a break from Christmas knitting for a sweet baby hat;

waking late to a white sky – snow to come;

then it came and came and came – beautiful, if cold;

a drive in the white stuff to visit a sweet family and photograph their darling newborn, what a treat it was;

home for dinner with friends, spoiled by Dan’s cooking and cheesecake for dessert;

another, ahem, late morning, kids too happy playing to need us old folks;

chatter with the little one on our bed;

craft time with a clever friend and needle nosed pliers;

soup on the stove;

a gathering of dear people for fellowship, food, laughter, and more babies;

kids slipping softly to sweet sleep;

and hot tea with a piece of that leftover cheesecake, before fireside knitting.

Baby snuggles, friends to warm chilly days, rest from work.

These are things I am thankful for this weekend.

And how about you, dear ones? How’d the weekend treat you?

once again I’m doubling up with these two beautiful friends
