Scents of apple and cinnamon fill my house. The morning was heavy with storms, dark as night. I savored sounds of rain while it lasted. Now, not ready to give up a sense of rainwashed, tea-soothed, quilt-warmed coziness, I turn to my favorite music of all time.
If there were theme music to my life, this would be it. Why? I don't exactly know.
I just know that this piece of music somehow finds its way into every corner of my memory. Into every shadow of my dreams.....

Baking? Rain? Oh, you are blessed beyond measure with Grace!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. Yes, I am blessed this day, although in the interest of full disclosure I will admit that I was not actually baking. One of my (grown) children was making cinnamon toast! Which always then inspires me to simmer apple peels (with a cinnamon stick and a few cloves, in water), which I do often on cool days to make a "cozy friendly" smell. So now you know the truth of that... but the smell is the same :)!
DeleteI only watched a part of the video. I still haven't watched the movie since I finished the book a few weeks ago, and I didn't want to spoil any of it. It was hard not to watch. Glad you had such a grace-filled day. Sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen, and I hope you get to see the movie soon (I'd love to hear what you think of it!).
