Snow and Sun Bread

Seriously, I've had it with snow. We have had 140+ inches of snow this winter already, and it's snowing again. It's bad for business, and it's just not any fun after a while.
For a while, it snowed almost every Monday or Friday. Now it's every Wednesday, and it's been every Wed for a few weeks. It's pretty weird.

But yesterday, I friend of mine loaned me a book that she absolutely loves, and it's the perfect day for it. The book is called Sun Bread, by Elisa Kleven. It's got a lilting rhyme and beautiful illustrations, and it speaks about a dreary day full of snow and grumbles. The baker bakes a sun bread, "and filled them up from toe to head, With puffy, hot, delicious bread. Bread so brilliant, bright and sunny, Summer seemed to fill their tummies." So today, we will make sun bread, and pray for summer to come quickly!
