The sky was iron grey all day long, and the wind was sandy and much too warm for a January afternoon. The air was strangely silent as well, as if all the voices in the world were stifled, waiting for something to happen, something to erupt. If this were hurricane or tornado country, or even commonly quaky, I’d say that it was as if everyone was waiting for one of those natural disasters to occur.
And yet, it seemed that the air began to thaw, the sky literally brightened and became blue for a few moments before the sun set and it turned a brilliant pink and red. The reason seemed to be an oven, in an apartment, on the fourth floor of a building. In that oven sat a trey of chocolate chip cookies, baking slowly, spreading warmth and a smell so mouth watering that you could stand a mile away and salivate.
Never underestimate the power of a cookie to make everything seem better – even the weather.
MMmmmm….I’ll be right over. I love smells like this.
Trust me, I never underestimate the power of a cookie.
COOKIE!
cookies will be my last meal on earth.
Home comfort in it’s best. Note how cookies always bring people together.
i could picture the scene perfectly… close my eyes… and smell the cookies… yummy!!!
