This morning I suddenly realized how overcast it has been for the last days (weeks?)! Looking out the kitchen window, the sky was a brilliant light blue and the snow on the trees was so white it was difficult to look at. The sun had returned! It only lasted about an hour but it was lovely. I think I may need to invest in one of those full spectrum lights for this winter seeing as it is only the beginning of November and I am feeling giddy about sunshine and blue skies.

My wonderful parents brought us stroopwafels when they returned from their vacation (along with some really yummy gouda cheese and other treats!) and last night I thought it would be lovely to have one alongside my final cup of coffee of the day and our annual winter beeswax candle. Methinks I will do the same tonight!

While our middle daughter has been off on a vacation with my parents, our eldest and youngest daughters have been playing together a lot. They found all sorts of fun out in the woods last weekend and Riley even built a makeshift playground for her little siblings out of logs and scraps of lumber that we had at the cabin. There was lots of running around, making up of games, walking in the woods, and scoping out potential Christmas trees.
