He suggests we roast a chicken for dinner, as the rain continues to fall. Rain which is predicted to be quite the ice storm come morning.
I chop the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion and parsnips to toss with the chicken. He prepares the chicken with herbs and butter.
He lights the cook stove as the sun sets on this shortest day of the year.
We gather around it's warmth, it's comfort. Knitting in my hand, a glass of wine at my side.
He snuggles with charlie on the crocheted blanket my Nana made, next to the heat of the stove.
As the sun sets, we gather light from our Christmas tree, warmth from our home.
Our home is silent, besides the clicking of my needles and the snores from Charlie.
I light candles as we gather at the table to enjoy one of our favorite meals.
Our home & hearts are filled with so much love and peace.
