You might think we're patiently waiting for Christmas, maybe even a December birthday or two, but the buzz around here is waiting on a fresh blanket of snow.
We've been reading the Little House on the Prairie books, a wonderful memory I have of my own childhood. D & M want to try everything Laura and Mary do. Most recently our attention has been caught by the chapter on maple candy. Laura and Mary filled pans with snow and poured hot maple syrup into the snow in all sorts of shapes, hardening into maple candy. They are so eager to try it, but MommaHealy says we must wait for fresh snow. Every morning they check, and so far, just the same old 6" that has been here for a week now.
So the bottle of maple syrup sits, taunting us, waiting on snow. M asks me, "Can we do that thing Laura and Mary did?" Soon enough, sweet one.
Now, I wonder how excited they would be to have their Christmas stockings filled with only a peppermint stick, a brown sugar cake and a new pair of red mittens?
