Looking out back from a kitchen window inside, I noticed how the chicken coop was nearly invisible due to the deep snow. There is a shoveled path in front of it to get to them that you can't see.
As I was noticing the chicken coop, a child flew down and then another, landing softly in the snow.
They were jumping down from the porch roof.
After the two loaves of freshly baked bread were gone by 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday, I have come to accept that three loaves each day is necessary for our growing family.
I crocheted this little elephant using Peace Fleece Wool/Mohair yarn from a pattern I found here.
It will be for Abraham's Easter basket.
Warm wishes,
Tonya

Oh that snow! I have had to look at that for two months and I have had quite enough thank you:-) We are getting a thaw and it is a treat to know I do still have a lawn! The elephant is adorable. Stay warm and thanks for your note about my Dad:-)
ReplyDeleteLove the elephant! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks so good. I am having to give uo carbs, but I still must bake for my family which makes it very hard. The elephant you crocheted is adorable.

What a sight those flying children must have been! Many more joyous moments to you, Tonya, as you walk through this week.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness I love the image of the flying children!
ReplyDeleteThe elephant is adorable- funny, I have an elephant waiting for Ezri's basket, only knitted. :)
The snow is here for awhile yet...
ReplyDeleteMaria.
3 loaves a day--you are a busy mama! do you have a special recipe?
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to bake three loaves, put two in the freezer, and they would last the week. Now we go through almost a whole loaf in one day. I guess that's nothing compared to your family!
ReplyDeleteAre you still doing your sourdough? I really want to get started on that!
Oh look at all that gorgeous white snow you have!! We've only had a few winters in my entire life where it has been incredibly deep. Your children must have so much fun :) Fresh bread has a strange ability to disappear as quickly as it comes out of the oven doesn't it :)
ReplyDeletewhile every time I'm at your blog I long to be back in Vermont, I'm happy to say that a lot of our snow here in Maine has melted and I am ready for spring. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much little people can eat?! Our food bill just keeps increasing and we 'only' have two!
ReplyDeleteWOW 3 loaves a day! So that is what I have to look forward to if we have as many children?! We have 3+ children and they are little, so we are roughly at a few loaves PER WEEK! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible how quickly the food disappears. I love the elephant. My husband's brother used to jump off his roof but there wasn't snow when he did it. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI am actually wishing for some more snow.
Yes, one loaf of bread really doesn't last long in our house either.

I can relate to freshly baked bread disappearing in the house! :)
