Sugar pines and incense cedars frosted with snow.
Fire burning in the woodstove hearth; steaming boots and gloves drying in front of them.
A hazelnut latte and scones with my husband.
A comfortable mess that doesn’t have to be put in order until tomorrow.
The Advent Tree and wreath adding red and green accents to one corner of the room
Almost finished addressing the Christmas cards.
Talked to Liam, oldest son, who is coming home this Friday for Christmas break.
Christmas shopping done online without crowds or rushes.
The boys coming in and out of the snow with bright faces and cold hands and feet.
Good books to read.
A new laptop in the kitchen with a wireless hookup.
These days aren’t everything there is to life, but they sure are nice once in a while.
