Stone House Scribblings

 Though everyone is talking about spring coming, it is snowing this morning.The county even "slapped" the road bans on today, which is premature and unnecessary if you ask the loggers who wanted to haul those last few loads of logs to market. We have had a few glimpses of spring, but not mud, yet. Perhaps… Continue reading Finish Well

It tastes good. Nobody is more surprised than I am about that. In the two years that I have been learning how to bake, cook, and eat gluten free the possibilities have improved. Most grocery stores carry the basic GF flours and mixes these days. Take heart all you newbies to the GF world. It… Continue reading Fresh Bread

Somehow a rainy day in March does not have the sense of spring and charm as does a rainy day in May.  We started our day with snowfall, but that was soon over taken by a "wintry mix" which is mostly rain slanting down past the windows.

     It has been a long quiet morning at home this Sunday morning. The sunshine streams in on a cleaned living room.  Carolyn's carnations from Noah stand in a  glinting crystal vase in bright clean colors.

By Thursday, I was having trouble remembering which day of the week it was.    Monday morning just as we had all… Continue reading Good Things Can Come of Bad Things

 Where my husband works every day. He got these shots with his I-phone himself. Seems to me that work and worship would be happening at the same time under these blue skies. A little too much saturation there, I know.  Last Sunday we had a new snowfall.  The scenes created by the falling and accumulating snow… Continue reading Scribblings and Pictures

 A winter storm was predicted for today and tonight. Just a gentle snow fall would be a better description. On this Sunday afternoon the family is scattered and snoozing while the world becomes white. Every branch and ledge is piling up with snow. It is beautiful. Any vehicles going by on the road are muted… Continue reading Winter In February
