What we have been doing…and an Upcoming Review
We are in the midst of winter. Like any other state, here in Texas January is the most difficult to get through. Cold, gloomy skies, chilling drizzles, and the ice. I know people elsewhere are laughing at me. There is a reason why we chose not to settle down up north. We gave up the beauty of the mountains, winding roads, colorful autumn and the of course the piles of snow for a reason – we do not like the long winter months. So when the temperature in the evening drops to the teens, I really want to whine. Some might feel like 17 degree F is welcome sign spring time, it is not so for us; it is very much the midst of winter.
But the weekend was fun –
A snowman came up – handless and without a smile
when the snow came down
and the boots were happy to be out of the closet
The unbridled joy of the children
family time…
are all priceless!
and beautiful!
However the snow does not last for months….In a few week’s time it will be nice enough to enjoy a pleasant walk in “another time and place”,
stopping a while by the unusual treats,
and to watch some stars on the shimmering water.
Winter here also brings in an orange glow! The oranges and the clementines have filled up the shelves of the market.
We also have been eating a lot of –
Clementines
and Oranges – fresh yard product (courtesy a friend)
Life is good and we are blessed to have it all.
now for the review:
The CSN Stores has given me another opportunity to do a product review (will be coming up in the next few weeks). I am sure everyone is familiar with the CSN stores – the online one stop shop for all your needs; kitchenware, furniture, home improvement, stuffs for kids, and even modern duvet covers – you will find it all and at unbeatable prices. Folks stay tuned for the review!
I share your gratitude for life and say its good side of the world too. Great photography and that picture of the sunlight shimmering in the water is stunning. Thanks for sharing, Soma.
Lovely pictures! It seems as if you have been having lots of fun.
Cheers,
Rosa
Love all the pictures 🙂
I second you, January is the most difficult to get through and us especially in the North-East is a diff game, but no complains :-). Great pics, as always !
Love those pink princess boots 😀 I’m really enjoying citrus fruits now as well, the clementines I’ve been finding are so sweet. A really sweet post, so wonderful to see pictures of your beautiful family.
Beautiful clicks!
Is it snowing Gosh I miss it- It is quiet sunny here (60 F)-but very dense fog till 11A.M. Cool seems the whole family enjoyed the dust!
Love the clementine pic:)
Lovely post and beautiful clicks Soma!
I live in L.A. and we are currently in the midst of 80 degree weather. I hate it! I wish we had some of your lovely snow…these are gorgeous pictures! And your girls are adorable.
I also wanted to say how cute the name of your blog is…recipeforlove – I can absolutely see this gracing the cover of a cookbook!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! 🙂
beautiful post Soma. loved sharing some glimpse of your life with two adorable cuties. and yes Thanks God for blessing us with all these. Love
Beautiful, heartwarming post! Lucky, lovely girls, too and I wish I could stand in the snow, too, with my tongue out. I’ve prayed for snow and have yet to see any here.
We moved from Seattle and the weather here in Dallas seems to be too hot for us. Winter seems to be like spring , maybe by next year we should be feeling like you. Lovely clicks and I enjoyed looking at your priceless moments.
Beautiful! The boots are so cute!
Looks like fun was had in the snow! No snow for us in Austin, though. But, I am enjoying lots of citrus.
Muaah to those gorgeous little girls! U’ve been enjoying your LIFE, I can see that 🙂
We were lucky the snow missed out area, but I got to experience it vicariously in a way through weather-related travel delays anyway 8). Lovely photos, especially the one with the sliced orange.
wow enjoy the snow,…:-)
Beautiful photos….I miss you and the 2 princes !!!
Lovely Pictures!
