Rainy Days

The gloomy weather continues, but I don't really mind so much. Our cabin has a tin roof, which makes a rainstorm more pleasant than not. Besides, Miss Kate and I have kept ourselves entertained with indoor pursuits.

First, we baked ginger molasses cookies, which were a big hit with my personal little taste tester, even before the baking!

Then, we snuggled in to watch the Shirley Temple version of Heidi. As a mountain girl myself, Heidi was always one of my alltime favorite stories when I was a little girl, although I don't believe I ever saw this film in its entirety until today. Needless to say, it was beautiful, nostalgic, and so touching. There may have been some tears, but what a sweet, uplifting story!

A fragrant cup of Earl Gray tea, the smell of ginger and molasses melding together in the oven, a classic film shared with my best girl, and the rhythmic drops of rain pounding on the roof......I think sunshine may be overrated.
