Home fires burning

Much of the last few days has been spent close to home. A welcome pause before a busy week. Sunday morning brought thunder and some lightening. I love the thrill of these storms. I ran out into the backyard to cover up the bunny hutch when the promise of rain began and found myself lingering as the lightening struck, a reminder of childhood daring. Since then there has been some romancing of hot water bottles (the weather has been very mild but the girls love to snuggle), long buttery breakfasts and a rebelliously late start to the school day.
