The above image was taken minutes after I'd pulled the apple cinnamon muffins out of the oven. The house was quiet; Marcus and Alex had left 30 minutes earlier for the airport to pick up his mother, brother and sister-in-law.
I love those still moments when you're waiting for houseguests to arrive.

...and then it all explodes as they walk in the door!
So peaceful and calm..and such beautiful light. Bet the quiet didn't last for long..
Yes, deary. And you had those still moments bc you'd prepared the whole week ahead. I used to have those pre-company still moments. But the last two parties I've thrown, like last night, the guests either arrive early or on time and I'm not ready for another 30, frantically preparing., I'm trying to look at this in my life.
the peacefulness and anticipation are great! have a wonderful time.
i can almost smell them from here. how beautiful! hope you have a wonderful visit... :)
I just want to thank you for the muffin recipe. I've made them several times since reading the original post. They are great and everyone loves them.
