Day of Rest

In honour of the heat wave, here are a few winter memories . . .

Imagine walking down this road . . . that sharp feel you get breathing in the cold crisp air . . . the frostiness of your exhale . . . the warmth of a scarf around your neck . . . and the numbness of your nose . . . and even tho you're wearing gloves, the tips of your fingers can feel the chill . . . . 'member?

I see hearts wherever I go.

Day of Rest: Everything's so green

Light 'n' breezy today, with a slight chance of afternoon napping.

The dogs, not me. ;-) No, really. Have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Day of Rest: Tree Blossoms

On of my favourite spring trees, red bud:

These smell sort of like carnation:

I was thinking cherry or apple? Anyone?

Here are both trees on the way to my house. :-) Sweet day.

Day of Rest: Spring :-)

Prettt poppy from last year. :-)

Winter blooms.

Day of Rest

I think I can safely say that I'm not the only one ready for winter to be over! This is one of my favourite sights when I walk down to my postbox in the summer . . .

Fisherman Willie. :-)

When you're in the middle of the cold, you can use your summer memories to keep warm.

Day of Rest: Millie

Millie snoozing.

This has become Millie's spot; by the window. She watches for trains, cars, deer, & other excitement. When she gets bored with that, she faces the other way to watch over the back porch--more deer & way more squirrels that scamper along the rail to taunt her. At night, sometimes she growls at her reflection. Hahahaha Back tomorrow with M&M Monday.

P.S. Happy Valentine's Day & much LOVE to friends & fam. :-) H.

Day of Rest: Snowy Pix

Yesterday at the early stages of the blizzard:

Ruthie & Albus who's not a fan of his coat!

This morning:

Blue Sky!

Ruthie's year-round tree ornies.

Back porch.

I watched the snow rise on this table all yesterday! Really? More?!

'member the Mother Mary Statue Rescue? Here she is this morning. Back tomorrow with M&M Monday! :-)

Day of Rest: Maggie's Haiku

Dirt nose ring
shedding hair
gentle snores

Day of Rest

Like lions lounging on the savanna. :-)

Day of Rest: Wintery River

This was a shot I took on my way out yesterday. The water is a delicious blue in this very-cold weather.It is SO COLD! But toasty-warm in my little river house. Millie is snoring by the fire, and I have gluten-free oatmeal bubbling in the double boiler--PROPER porridge! I am going to spend the afternoon in the kitchen doing food prep for the week. Will do a blog post on how I do easy-peasy meals. Back tomorrow for M&M Monday.

Day of Rest

HAPPY 3rd Day of Xmas!

Sunset over Overall Beach.

Day of Rest: Snowy Sunrise

Day of Rest: Snow Labyrinth

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
