Where is Winter?

I’m really not complaining, but 50 degrees in January just feels…weird. I mean shivering on the playground when I have duty is less than delightful but snow falling overnight to assure a few more hours in bed is lovely. I’m sure we will get a foot of snow…the first day of Spring, just when the trees start to bud. Oh well, I still feel the cozy vibe inside my house, thanks to some new to me purchases. I just love vintage/antique touches in a home, don’t you?

Oh this quilt…it stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on it. Can you blame me?

A tiny chair tucked into a corner.

An old milk bottle filled with greenery is pure winter joy.

A few more transfer wear plates…I don’t care if they match.

Also a winter tradition…Army/Navy basketball…we’ll get you next time Army!

Waiting for Snow

I’m really not a fan of snow. The actual snow event is lovely with the snow gently falling and cozy times in front of the fire, and hopefully, a snow day from school. Sledding is also fun, provided you have a sled…which we do, and it has never been used. The following days with the slush, frozen roads, muddy playgrounds, cold winds and scrapping off the cars don’t thrill me. We had a slight chance of snow in our forecast this weekend, and despite the fact it was already a three day holiday, I kind of hoped we would see the cold whiteness fall from the sky. If only for the fact that the sled has been sitting in our garage for a year just waiting to be used. We saw a few flurries before the cold rain…oh well, there is always February. Anyway, enjoy a few more touches of winter inside our house!

We may not have snow, but a roaring fire still feels great!

Winter’s Embrace

By Patricia Cisco

Shimmering lakes of silvery ice

welcomes skaters’ scarring slice.

Hills adorned in lacy white

watch children sleigh into the night.

In the brilliant pristine light,

snow birds in tall trees take flight.

Evergreens draped in capes of snow,

their heavy branches hanging low,

blanket earth as north winds blow.

Winter’s dance is quite a show,

an ice-kissed, dazzling, magical place,

transformed by winter’s cold embrace!

Winter…the perfect season for family game nights!
