longest. winter. ever.



i'm still here.
surviving this darn nasty winter so far.


every march i get a bit of hope
that spring is on it's way.




this year the weather man is
telling us to be prepared
for more snow.
ugh.

so i'll just keep buying
pretty flowers until the ones
in the garden start popping up.


this winter, for the first time,
i put seed out for the birds...
and their friend.



they've appreciated the food
and i've loved the company.

have yourself a merry little christmas...


well look at that.
i'm done shopping and wrapping.
everything has been checked off the list.



for some reason that i can't explain
this christmas has been a bit different.


it's certainly been wintery enough.
soooo much snow....
and chilliness too.
perfect christmas weather!


it just felt like this year it
needed to be a little less busy.



i tried to avoid getting stressed out



because that is not what it should be about.




it's a nice time of the year to just slow down,
be grateful and enjoy what's important.




it's been a wonderful year for my little family.
we are a very fortunate bunch.




we really don't need a thing.
being together will be enough.


sending love and best wishes to you all.
hope this season finds you healthy and happy
and with people you love.
