Two Frosty Morns

This morning we awakened to 6 inches for newly fallen snow!  Absolutely gorgeous!!
I'm the one in the family who really looks forward to snowdays...  I supppose it is the teacher in me!!!
Yaya our flag did it's job!!


Hubs   doesnt like it quite so much  as it means a bit of shoveling for him,  but he really likes  it!!

WHile he is out and about I snug into my blankie  in the sunroom,  enjoy the warmth while I    drink my russina tea and    hunker down with a good book.  Our daughter and  the family are reading through  the Narnia series and I happened to have purchased book one  last fall. I'd  read  the Lion and the Witch and the Wardrobe  years ago,   and Amanda told me I really do need to read this first in the series.. so  I'm now on chapter 9 and it is  delightfully   informative  ... I'll now have to read the Wardbook book again!!!  Oh, why not the whole series while Im at it!!
 


So,   this was our frosty, snowy morning,  but  I found this post about another frosty morn!
*****
With a  huge dip in the   temperature and snow on the way,   this morning was  crying out  for a  Frosty Morning  Tea  Breakfast for two.
 Even though  the  setting   reflected an icy morn,   with   frosty  hoary,   crystals  and   snowy fluffs   sprinkled  all about,   the  ancient  radiator  in the dining room   proved  
trustworthy!
 Lady Earl Grey in her   lovely   blue wrapping   and her  highly  delicate   flavor  suited the occasion to a "TEA"!

 Served in my  latest addition,   my   Wedgewood, Countryside   china cups,,   it  was  absolutely brill!
 Delicious   homemade  cranberry   oatmeal topped with  whipped cream  is now   going to become a staple in our home....
 I   was inspired  to  create these  dainty  tasties   from my latest   Tea Time magazine...
The ones in the magazine  were  not  toasted, 
 however,  for  our   warm-us-up   breakfast,   toasting   was  essential!
 These   were served up  with  alternating   egg salad  and   hot buttered strawberry jam.
Fueled for the day, now   no telling  what  mischief we may achieve!!!
