Frost Picture.....

Can you see him?

 The bearded man on the other side of those icy rocks?

 See the steam floating over his left shoulder, and up into the frosty sky? Miss Posy and I believe it came from a huge pot of stew he was taking to some unfortunate peasants who live beyond the village.... 

You see the village behind him, right? 

A few roof tops and the church spire are just peeking over the hill.

We discovered all this etched in the frosty windowpane yesterday morning. And I am glad I took the pictures when I did, for when I went to look at it again about a half an hour later, the bright morning sun had melted it all away....

Miss Posy's Knitting

We bought her a French Knitting mushroom for her birthday, and she loves it! Currently, she is in the process of making a hat for Little Lady.......or so she claims. We'll have to see how that works out....;)

Baby Hands

Sunrise Through the Frost....

We intend to replace our old windows this spring, and the frost pictures they display after a night of bitter cold will be sorely missed next winter......at least the children and I will miss them! :)

So very beautiful....

Inside

Outside it is very cold and windy....

"Be Simple...

...in the smallest things as well as in great ones, and even more so, for small things more often present themselves and are most pleasing to God."

~Emmanuel de Gibergues

Simplicity.......

"Simplicity will transform all the duties of life for you. Duties of a serious nature will appear even more pressing, more sacred, and in the light of simplicity, you will accomplish them more eagerly. Simplicity will raise up and magnify all lesser duties, showing you in the smallest and most humble the sign of God's majesty." 

~Emmanuel de Gibergues
