Winter is in the air.

Have you noticed the nip in the November wind? I have.
As autumn packs up and takes a vacation to the beach, winter makes itself comfortable.
Winter is one of my least favorite seasons.
Plants begin to fade, cloudy days seem to multiply, maybe even a few more sniffles and coughs.
But like any season it has it's good side.
Holidays, birthdays, hot cocoa, scarves and slippers, baking, snow and many other blessings to look forward to...Speaking of blessings I've really been enjoying the give thanks! challenge.

I know there are quite a few different thankful challenges going on. Especially as thanksgiving is coming upon us. It really has been making me appreciate the blessings in my day to day life.
To name a few: sunshine, quiet moments, family, spice muffins, music, fun new fabric, health, home, laughter and....
...Bread. Simple gifts like daily bread are a blessing I take for granted.
Credit for this lovely bread goes to my talented Mother. 
Mothers are a huge blessing, too! :-)

Have a lovely weekend!
What do you like best about November?

  3. Oh neat!
    No. I am not on the group. I am just writing them all down in my journal. :-)
    Really? :-) That is funny! It seems when each season comes it sort of becomes my favorite season.
    I will definitely enjoy winter, though. :-)

    What are you planning for Thanksgiving?

    Blessings,

  4. That bread looks so good, Leah! :)
    Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for!

    We are loving New Zealand!And also enjoying our first real Spring (at least South Africa & NZ are in the same hemisphere, even though they're so far apart, so the seasons are the same - though we never had much of a Spring in SA, so November weather here is quite an experience.

    Enjoy your month. :)
    God bless.
    Love in Christ,
    Jessica & Rachel

  6. I hope you both have a wonderful thanksgiving, Jessica and Rachel!
    It must seem weird to have Spring in November. Or at least to me. Are you used to it? :-)

    Congratulations on your graduation! Whoo hoo!
    Exciting. :-)
