A Sparrow's Home

How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Psalm 84:1-4

A glorious

golden day

on the Island

 yesterday.

Today is cool and cloudy.

Banging, rattling and thumping sounds are coming from the roof.

It's chimney cleaning day.

Inside?

Well, we'll have to wait a bit for a cheery fire in the woodstove.

But there's a warm spicy fragrance flooding the kitchen.

Cloves, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and raisins simmering on the stove top.

Hard-working chimney sweeps need the occasional treat.

Recipe tomorrow.

Happy Monday!

This looks and sounds very similar to something my mother in law taught me to make. Very spicy, moist, dense and delicious beyond words! I look forward to the recipe to see if it is the same one.
