Whither Weather?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Thursday, February 09, 2012
On Groundhog’s Day my husband joked that the little guy came out of his hole and declared that winter had already been over for six weeks.
Anyone else feel like the season is missing this year? Here in Michigan, we usually get buried by at least a couple snowstorms each year, and have a week or two of single-digit temperatures. Those things have not happened this winter. We’ve had rain instead, and... READ MORE

Unlucky Ducks
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Saturday, April 23, 2011
This adorable pair of mallard ducks has been visiting the wet spots in our field for a few weeks now. And those wet spots of have been growing. I jokingly referred the ever-expanding puddles as “Lake Bean” last week, but now that it’s Holy Saturday and has been snowing heavily all day long, I am beginning to lose my sense of humor.
The girls and I are wearing cute sandals to the Easter Vigil tonight. He makes all things new? We’re banking on it.
Fresh

It’s spring!
Well, kind of. Here in our part of Michigan, we have highs in the 30s for the next week, and can expect at least one or two more snowfalls before the warmer season begins in earnest. Today I let the kids go outside to play and they wore heavy jackets, hats, and mittens.
But the winter’s snow accumulation has thawed. Tree branches sport tiny buds. The ground is getting softer, and with... READ MORE
Spring, Spring, Spring!

The first day of Spring is still a month away, but around here I can tell we’re moving past winter.
For almost a week now, I’ve taken the little ones on a walk every afternoon. It feels fantastic to be outside, to have the sunshine beating down on my skin, to be outdoors without a foot of layers protecting me from the weather.
This Monday, we had a school holiday. To celebrate, I loaded up my crew... READ MORE

I fear to be any place this cold, but this is, um, cool.
Walking Through Winter
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Tuesday, January 18, 2011
After seeing Lisa’s video of natural beauty and warm weather in California over the weekend, I was inspired to share a bit of our snowy wonderland this morning. Take a short walk with me through the chilly New Hampshire woods!
Homemade Hot Cocoa
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, January 12, 2011
All this cold weather has me thinking about two of my favorite things: being warm and chocolate.
Enter this homemade hot cocoa recipe I came across. It looks delicious. Don’t you think homemade cocoa blows the store bought stuff out of the (icy cold) water?
From the Hershey’s Website:
Hot Cocoa
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa
Dash salt
1/3 cup hot water
4 cups (1 qt.) milk
3/4... READ MORE
Talk About The Weather
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, December 15, 2010
In last week’s Faith & Family Live podcast, I told Danielle and Lisa that we were freezing cold here in Georgia.
“Y’all,” I said in amazement, “it’s like 39 degrees here!”
“Awwww,” said Danielle, she who lives north of the Mason-Dixon line, “poor baby.”
(If you want to hear her brazen lack of sympathy, go here.)
To be honest, I totally thought I would get some compassion—even my brother who lives... READ MORE
Oh. No. Snow.
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Just me on Monday, November 08, 2010
I lifted the shade this morning, and stood staring in disbelief.
There was white on the grass. On the fallen leaves. On the sidewalk. On the car.
The year’s first snowfall at my house.
Well, if you could call it that. It was more of that snowy-sleety mix that falls in giant clumps and deposits white slush everywhere. No snow angels today.
As a New Englander, I should be well aware of our unpredictable... READ MORE
