a spark of color here today. another gray day for us. the rain + wind is blowing and it's a cold one.
as you can see there are still m&m's in the jar, from valentines day. that's a good thing. ; )
a spicy arroz con pollo is on the menu here. already in the crock pot.
we're looking to pick another read for the semester. i am hoping to get a few more in, before the end of the school year. any suggestions on a high school level book?
my daffodils are still smiling
letters are being written
jotting down a list of favorite books to share here. deep sigh for love ; )
packages ready to be sent
and i am working on some cards for my shop~ oh yes i am ; )
it's pouring rain
im claiming the first cup of afternoon tea
and the heater is humming
i am grateful
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
~Mary Jean Iron
happy day, dear friends.
27 ladlefuls of love:
M&M's since Valentines day? Chocolate doesn't last 3 days in my house!
LOL...I am with Kimberly...they would have been gone is 10 minutes. You are a treasure too. xo
lol off and on we are sweet lovers but we are slow going on candy. XO
absolutely beatiful quote... please pass the m&m's...happy day to you, too, thank you. - xok.
Such a colorful photo. :-) that chocolate would be gone by now in our house. It's rainy and grey here as well. I can't wait to see your list of favorite books.
And that quote by Mary Jean Iron is one of my all time favorites!
there is no way there would still be m+ms in my house. they come in the house, they go down the hatch.
did y'all do of mice and men? the scarlet letter? wuthering heights? jane eyre? pride and prejudice? shall i keep going? only kidding...
the pic makes me think of the valentine's day candy we still have in our cupboards!! Self-control baby! haha
on books...i agree with jane eyre! especially with the new movie out! It has great themes to discuss.
blessings,
sarah
Oh your photo and words are so beautiful, as always, and I leave feeling warm and thankful. You always get my day off to a calm and contented start....thank you Christina. xx
Afternoon tea is definitely where I need to head, maybe with a book too. I was just looking for your etsy store, but couldn't find it. Do you have a link?
~~~ christina...i have been lazy about blogging lately...so today i come here...and read...and am recharged... you fill me with HAPPINESS, dear one....

could you believe the rain today....what a great day to stay in and eat candy :)
a couple of the best reads I have found and suitable for high schoolers for sure.
A Thousand Splendid Suns
The Book Thief
The Messenger
love love love
The Book Thief is a splendid book.
Love that jar ... yum, chocolate candy.
Today we had a bit of everything weather-wise ~ sunshine, rain, even a little hail. The sun is shining brightly now, though.
Christina, the chocolate would have been gone the same week. lol. always love coming here. hugs. can't wait to see your new cards.
m&m left? Not with 2 kids in my house! they wouldn't even make it to the weekend! lol
BTW, I looooove your quote!
Thank you for sharing.
Jackie
Love that fabulous quote! And the M&M's definitely would have been long gone at my house! :) Can't wait to see your book list and your new cards in your shop! Hugs and kisses to you! xxoo
I once taught a high school multi-cultural literature class. We read: The House on Mango Street, The Good Earth, and I know Why The Caged Bird Sings. Love them all.
Love the Turquoise/Rose lid on your candy jar.
Beeutiful as usual my friend. Can't wait to see the cards you are making. You are teasing us! Xo
gorgeous!
look forward to seeing the cards!
it all sounds comforting.
have a beautiful day
Have you read Ender's Game? It's science fiction, but the underlying story is amazingly powerful. I cry every time I read it. (And I don't think you're really supposed to...) xoxo
Beautiful is all that you share
Love Jeanne
Here's to new reads....tea...and the beauty of a normal day because they are not always promised...
muah...
cards for your shop? yay!
love the quote about the normal day...
xo
You make every day seem like the best one in the world...I love how you do that. You remind me over and over about how good, how truly good life really is ♥
can't even tell you how much I love that photo! the colour is wonderful...
i'd recommend the hunger games trilogy. crazy good.
loving that jar
i just finished: the sugar queen, garden spells and the girl that chased the moon. i loved them all.
