Technically Still Summer,

but fall and everything about it!  I heart it.  Here's a few of my favorite things:

• fall wrapped candy
• plaid flannel
• blankets
• sweat shirts
• crisp, crunchy leaves
• stews and casseroles
• fires
• cooler temperatures
• Skyline drive
• walks through the woods
• coffee creamer

• back yard view, that never gets old
• getting caught up on Sky Scarf

January - Months End

 Many ideas  run through my head, for a months end post.  Things accomplished, books read, things made, and on it would go.  This particular January feels like I have just been getting a handle on 2017.  Mentally taking notes on loose goals, things I'd like to do or see, books I'd like to read, where I'd like to see the boys education to be.  Nothing of great consequence to note.

Even so, the good things from today would be:

• the moon looking like a smile
• finishing the first month of my sky scarf
• decaf coffee, so I can still sleep tonight
• a quiet house
• time to just be

Snow! And it was pretty!

We got measurable snow overnight; albeit, not a whole lot, couple inches or so.  Out the back of our house it looked beautiful.  The house backs up to acres of park land.  At times, would be nice if it were our land, but other times it is nice that it belongs to someone else.

• measurable snow
• wood brought it for a fire
• clear roads
• ideas for warm dinner
• thankful for days end

 Backyard, early morning.

 Just before a good shake.

 The colors are cool looking!

This was called, "Melty Dog".

With a good fire going, room can get well above

80 degrees.

Another Beautiful Day

It's been another great day of sunshine!  Lots of miscellaneous things to be thankful for.

• tree that fell, didn't cause to much damage
• dog not taking advantage of weak spot in fence
• time outside
• mac & cheese and keilbasa
• overall, just the feeling of a good day
