{phfr} almost winter!

 Pretty- Heavy frost on the sundial in the garden. This may be the closest we come to snow this year!

 Happy- Butterscotch brownies for the farm children, homemade raspberry cordial for the farmer and I! I made the cordial using our raspberries, and it is a blast of delicious summer time flavor!

 Funny- A (blurry) Stuart with little people on his fingers. He walked around for quite a while with them on his fingers, and was showing them to all his siblings. He thought he was pretty funny!

Real- Do your toddlers ever scribble in their older sister's school books? Mine does. Not very often, but when he does, he does such a thorough job! He also appears to be ambidextrous!

Joining Like Mother, Like Daughter for another round of {phfr}, capturing the contentment found in the ordinary. This contentment in the ordinary is comes very easily to me right now, during these quiet days of almost winter! I spend my mornings schooling my children, my afternoons baking, cooking, knitting, reading aloud. It is very pleasant, especially after a summer and fall of sheer busyness! There is such contentment in letting each day find it's own rhythm, without the usual hustle and bustle! Cozy, peaceful winter.
