A Cozy Country Christmas Anthology - Plot & Excerpts
You’ve got a big wrinkle on your forehead.” I stopped scowling at the cast covering my hand and forced a smile for four-year-old Becky’s benefit. “Mommy’s okay, dear,” I assured her. As okay as any busy farm wife and mother with a broken hand, I muttered mentally. Just three days ago, a cow had pinned my wrist between her hard skull and a concrete wall. I was still adjusting to the cast. Already, however, I knew it would put a crimp in my holiday baking plans. Usually, I baked for a solid week each December. Then I presented cellophane-wrapped, bow-topped dishes of delights to neighbors and friends. Fragile Swedish lace cookies, rich toffee diamonds, paper-thin butterscotch crisps and round brown sugar drops were among my treasured family recipes. This year, I wouldn’t hear my husband’s admiring whistle and customary compliment: “Anyone seeing these creations, darling, can tell you’ve got an artist’s soul!” One toss of a Jersey cow’s head had spoiled my most favorite holiday tradition.
