The Pancake Chronicles
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."
C.S. Lewis - Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."
Rusty Ryan - Ocean's Twelve

I want to make snow angels! It must be hard to resist doing that each time you see a fresh patch of gorgeous fluffy white snow. You must want to just belly flop down into it EVERY time (or do you?). I have a problem with needing to somehow make a dent in beautiful smooth things like snow.
What a great quote!!!
Stay warm :o)
We turned (my hubby) the heat on this morning.
First time.

Cat - I am also a snow angel girl, how DID you know! Only I haven't made one this year because the snow is not nearly deep enough. If I plopped down into the snow I would experience the lovely feeling of scraping about on rocks. We have lovely snow here though. It isn't big wonderful flakey snow but it's small and delicate and in the night it can appear like a gossamer spider web twinkly under stars if you look at it just so.
Well, Mizz Booshay. I am endeavouring to stay warm even as I type. My nose is pink and my fingers are freezing but the rest of me is toasty so I'm doing my best. Do you have a fireplace? I have one ... in my mind and it's big and has stone all around it and it makes lots of snappily noises.
No fireplace...well....mine is imaginary, like yours :o)
any questions?
