one day late

i thought St Martin’s Day was today even though we’ve celebrated on the right day in the past.  when Andy questioned me, i assured him that it’s November 12th.  curious.

so today we’l l be celebrating giving with this coloring sheet from Charlotte at Waltzing Matilda.  i think we’ll probably make cinnamon toast  cloaks too.  i just love her discussion of the proper time to put the butter and cinnamon on the bread!  i am firmly in the before-you-toast camp!  she also linked to a poem over at Margaret in Minnesota’s place that i think we’ll read.

so, happy St Martin’s Day!  the beginning of winter, a turn in the darkening season.  light your lanterns against the dark.  i heard from a bird that there will be more about the coming Advent celebrations over at everyday snapshots.  Pam is hosting Living Liturgies!  a way for us to think and plan and bring the wonder of the Church year into our homes.
