Thanks Janice - Bailey loves to snuggle under any blanket; just like me :). Temps are warming up a bit this weekend - probably just enough to be a mess - what’s a girl to do?
Well Girl...you are even colder than Nod.Far colder believe it or not. I don't believe we will be below 0º even for the lows this week. (Yipppeee!) At least your cozy evenings and snuggle buddy go far to atone for the winter chill.
I know I am definitely in the minority, Robin, but I am a firm believer in winter. If for no other reason to rid myself of the dreaded summertime tick - I hate them. I hate what they do. I hate how they do it. And if we could have 2 feet of snow from Thanksgiving to March I would be deliriously happy! Hope you’re warm up there - just hibernate.
Oooooh, remind me not to complain about single digits here in NC! No doubt Bailey and the treasures around you make your home very cozy indeed. Blessings...
It was short-lived, and we never see anything that low – but boy, the old farmers almanac predicted it, and they were exactly right! I don’t wanna complain because oddly enough I would rather have this than 90° summer heat!!
Oh Cathy, that’s a perfect description – tuck in, there’s nothing we can do about it! This year I’ve really hibernated and I’m not feeling one bit guilty!
Aww thanks - she’s a real sweetie, don’t know how she found us five years ago, but so glad she did. She was hiding in the barn – hard to know what her backstory is, but somebody missed out on a really terrific companion.
Good gravy! That's really cold! I can only imagine where you must live. You're not in southern Missouri, that's for sure. I hope it warms up for you soon. I'm visiting from Afternoon Coffee and Evening Tea. Happy weekend! Laura
Hi Laura and thanks for swinging by from Billie Jo’s! I’m in Ohio, and temps that low are not the norm - it’s been a doozy of a winter for everyone! That’s okay with me, I’ve been in hibernation mode :)
a goat wrangler, chicken whisperer, bee maven, and farmers’ market baker renovating an 1864 farmhouse. I like simple things, old things, old ways. I'm the definition of "homebody" and you can always find me in an apron. Welcome to my world...stick around, I hope you'll find it's fun!
Things I love...
Sunday dinners
tire swings
the laughter of children
cross-country train rides
barn sales & auctions
old farmhouses
small towns
porch swings
country clotheslines
old-fashioned barbershops
a Farmall Super A
farmers' markets
living in the Heartland
twinkling fireflies
simple country pleasures
the comforts of home
Now Open!
fresh from my farmhouse kitchen...simple, homemade, cottage foods!
I cannot conceivably influence the world's destiny, but I can make my own life more worthwhile.
I can give some help to some people, that is not vital to all the world's problems, and yet I think if everyone did just that, we might see quite a different world in our time!"

It is love, and kindness, and helping each other, and just plain being good. "

"The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest."
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain
"In all of living, have much fun and laughter.
Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

"The real things haven't changed...
It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong."
