As I will show later, March definitely came in like a lion in my world! The snow is still high and the ice makes the gravel lane... interesting. But a warm up is expected on the weekend. It will not come soon enough for those of us trudging through snow to get the mail.
This week has just flown by and I can't tell you what I accomplished. I have one scrapbook page finished, just a place to park my March "To Do" list. Review books have been read and a couple more are on the way.
With the snow and subzero temperatures, even the outside photos here were taken from my front porch and kitchen window! So, this is what has been happening in my world this week as seen through the lens of a camera... from the inside.
Reading
I located it in the Kindle where it had patiently waited for my affections. It is wonderful. Eugene Peterson writes beautifully and simply. Information... here.
Scrapbook Journal
Simply a page cut from a magazine, a typed out To Do list using the Underwood Champion font (which I really like for scrapbook journaling), a little stick-on message, and narrow washi tape for the edges.
Baking
The recipe for these muffins are in Homemade, one of my very favorite recipe books. Info... here.
I just tweaked the recipe to make it blueberry lemon by adding lemon zest and drizzling a lemon-confectioners sugar glaze to guild the lily.

The muffins look scrumptious! It's a good day even here in East Texas so stay home with a cup of hot chocolate, a good book, and a cozy throw on the sofa. Love your kitchen window arrangement--like the symmetrical (sp?) lineup. Blessings, Sharon D.
It's probably time for me to pull out that Peterson book and reread....He's one of my favorite contemporary writers. I so respect his ministry choices and admire his mind and writing abilities.
The muffins look fantastic. Makin' me hungry here - and the scenery (snow) looks all too familiar!
Can't WAIT for springlike weather.
It's been warm here in north Florida. In the 70's for the last few days, but rain moving through and getting down into the thirties tonight! So winter is hanging on. Azaleas and Japanese Magnolias are blooming, so splashes of color everywhere. Your home looks so cozy with the snow outside. Sounds like you are getting a lot of reading done. A book and those blueberry muffins make a great combination!
Our March came in like a lamb. I'm bracing myself for the end of March and hope it's not too lionish.
I have that book on my shelf and like Rebecca it would be a good re-read. With weather like that outside your window I can't think of anything better than being able to pull those beautiful muffins out of the oven!
It was fun to turn the calendars over this week! I'm spoiled to have both the large and small Susan Branch this year!!! Looking forward to that 55 degrees next week! Was IN BED all day Saturday feeling awful and what turned out to be a cold has lasted all week. Boy has it sapped the energy and the sleep. Trying to give myself a break, and wait...... :)
Hi Brenda;
Lovely post today, as usual. I think spring has forgotten us here in the north! Your snow pics are beautiful, but not the freezing temps. Love your kitchen window, your books and your muffins. I will give the recipe a try. Her fluffiness looks very content, she is ever beautiful! Have a good week. Love and Hugs, Nana
Aaahh,,,your "my world this week" posts are like a small oasis in the chaos of the world. I love the cozy look of the kitchen window display. And..that scrapbook page is awesome! That inspires me to get started on one. Snow pix so pretty,,,I love the light that snow creates.
Our March came in lambish...it is cold, though we missed out on all this snow. (It slipped out to sea south of us.) Oh my! I hope that you get just the right warm-up to dispatch this stuff without troubles. I love Susan Branch's calendar pages...so many fun things to read! Bet you identified with the kitty footprints. =D
Nice ideas here, Brenda...enjoy seeing what you do with the scrapbooking....

Our March came in lionish, too!
We've had ice, and now we have 10 1/2 inches of snow today!
Stay warm!

Thanks for sharing and the world most definitely showed its lion side in my part of Texas. Have a good weekend.
I've said it before, but I always love these My World This Week posts. We have snow, too--another 6" yesterday, so I'm stranded inside. I have sewing on my docket. Love the Susan Branch calendar page. Enjoy your snowy day!
