It's a windy, blustery day today here. (hm...that sounds perfect for some Winnie the Pooh, but we'll stay focused on the topic at hand) The boys are looking forward to tea this afternoon, mostly because of what they are smelling in the oven right this moment.
Today's treat is Strawberry Jam Crumb Cake compliments of Cooking Light Magazine. So easy to make and looks absolutely delicious. I used up the last of our strawberry jam from last summer to make the cake which makes us all a little sad. Note to self...next year, make up at least 25 jars of jam. Maybe that will last us until the summer.
In honor of using up the last of our Oregon Strawberries, I found a book entitled Long Ago in Oregon. It's a collection of poems by Claudia Lewis that she wrote as a young girl living in a small town here. The pictures are simple pencil sketches that seem to truly capture the simplicity of the lifestyle that Lewis led.
Our tea time certainly won't be rambunctious as it was last week, nor deep and philosophical as the week with the star poems, but it will be the perfect combination for the rainy, dreary day today.
