Scones and a Good Trade

We got a bit more snow this week.


 We spent yesterday afternoon and evening admiring its beauty, then we spent this morning helping Daddy clear the driveway so he could get to work.


While some of us finished outside, Joy and Anna baked up a scone mix our friend gave us.  It's always nice to find something warm and yummy waiting for us when we come in from shoveling.


It's also lovely to see our Christmas/Valentine amaryllises putting out their second round of blooms in the bay window.  They seem to say that home can be cozy and vibrant even though the winter weather outside is still cold and bleak.  Huzzah for houseplants and heaters!


In other news, Joy and Todd decided to trade their small squishmallows Spike and Pip.  Joy likes the idea that trading unused toys offers countless free possibilities when she wants to try playing with something new.  I like the fact that both squishmallows (which used to have somewhat annoying personalities) are now friendlier and more pleasant under new management.


The rest of the squishmallow herd seems happy about the change as well.
