When they open the door the smell of breakfast meets their noses as they breathe in the warm air filled with the spicy smell of tea keeping warm on the stove and the doughy smell of pancakes and the smell of sweet maple syrup. I hear a flurry of chatter, happy laughter, and voices as boots are removed and set aside and the noise of feet approaching. The chill has inspired me a little and out from my warm oven comes a platter of big snowmen with sweet raisin eyes staring back at them. They laugh and awww as they help themselves to the merry men. Sweet prayers are raised to heaven, hearty thanks are given for all we are blessed with and then butter is spread, the syrup is poured and laughter and happy talk continues. The spicy tea warms those cold bodies down to their toes and rosy cheeks begin to thaw. Ahhh breakfast at the cottage, it is a beautiful part of being home.
