Scones 'N Storms

Do you ever have a food craving pop into your head--just out of the blue? It happened this evening after coming home from visiting a friend. SCONES!!! The thought of hot, buttery scones slathererd with honey just popped into my brain, obviously inspired by my hungry stomach. I had to whip up a batch. I don't even know where the thought came from but it was so real that I could almost taste the sweet, warm scone melting in my mouth. The kids were in shock as they discovered and anticipated the delectable scones. It's seriously been years since we've had these babies! Ashton used to make them all the time when she was little, almost every Sunday morning. The table was set with honey, butter, powdered sugar and tall glasses of cold milk. It didn't take long before the dough was sizzling in the hot oil. Mmmmmmm! "Scones are ready!!!!" The crowd of my family tumbled down the stairs quickly and raced to the table. It was a treat as we downed a few too many.

After our tummies were filled to capacity we enjoyed watching a fantastic thunder storm from the front porch. It was a real downpour, but we stayed dry. It can be so peaceful watching a raging storm, especially when you're not wet. The kids were in awe of the downpour and the incredible lightening. Dad would have liked this one!
