Enjoy a home-cooked dinner... followed by dessert... watch out the window --you never know what you'll see... or head out into the cold to take some snow pics! Just make the best of it, because you can't change it! (just ask those that headed to Vegas to escape the snow this week!)
My sister lives in Las Vegas and shared pictures of the snow. Pretty amazing. Palm trees with snow on them just aint right! I am looking forward to getting snow here. Pretty cold and a few flakes, but not enough to shake a stick at.
Doesn't sound right to me either...but it sure did look pretty seeing the Las Vegas Welcome sign surrounded by snow! lol The raccoon startled me...I was taking pics and all of a sudden there it was in the middle of all that white...made me jump until I realized what it was! lol
Hope you get some snow to stick around soon too! (must say, the novelty is wearing off on me now...three storms this week is more than enough considering we rarely have any like this!) We pay a premium price to live here to avoid the weather other parts of Canada gets...so I'm about done anytime now! lol
lol! I know after a week or so of snow I will probably be ready for Spring! We bought a sled and those inter tube looking things for the boys for Christmas and I would like them to have the chance to try them out this year.
My spirits are raised by living simply and sharing daily. I am inspired by simple, everyday things and actions: picnics, books, walks/hikes, photography, crafting, a cup of tea, baking, cooking, organizing, adventures, camping, good food, finding or making the perfect gift, keeping house, learning, crossword puzzles, listening to music, daydreaming, wildflowers, RAKs, little farm markets, exploring, fleece, meditating, nature, keeping/starting traditions, surrounding myself with colour, laughing, watching movies, spending time with the kids in our life, collecting red peppers & chili peppers, Crocs, road trips, pondering the meaning of life and most importantly, enjoying time with my Swedey, our family and our friends. Of course there are more ideas that I could add --the list is endless really...
You'll find that my blog is about all the things I find interesting, informative, and/or inspirational. Or maybe just stuff that I've been up to and enjoyed or didn't. All things simple. Back to basics. Handmade. Homemade. Simplified. Organized. Ordinary. Genuine. Uncomplicated.
Welcome to my blogging space!
Thoreau
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.
It is never too late to give up your prejudices.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed in them.
What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
Name Tags
Lovely name tag made for me by either a very thoughtful friend, or generous stranger. I love ALL the name tags I have collected over the years and appreciate the time and effort of those creating them! This is just one more way that I can use them...view them...share them!
