                                                               January 26, 2015

Outside my window.......A light fine snow.  Not laying terribly yet just enough to make a mess but predicted to be more as the day goes on.  Lumberjack stayed home and I am so glad.  Schools were cancelled also so no worries of loved ones traveling.

I am thinking.....A little silly but Im already thinking of valentines day out!  Planning the day this week.

I am thankful for.....The many resources we have locally for good fresh non gmo organic foods.

I am wearing.....Or wore last time I went out....A victorian grey silky tunic, Stonewashed skinny jeans, and black boots.

I am creating.....Knitting like a fool to get the mitties done by Saturday.  Working in the art journal which I am loving immensely! And finishing the item for the valentines swap!

I am going.....To be enjoying the next three days tucked in right here at home by the fire.

I am wondering.....About the incubated eggs.  Its always stressful wondering what will come of them if any!

Quote of the week.....

I am reading.....Finally finished "Eggs in the coffee, sheep in the corn"  Passing it along via a fb group I am in on Homesteading.  Starting now "A year in Provence"  By Peter Mayle.

I am hoping.....For good weather over the weekend.  Cold is very good for the coming weekend...but snow is NOT!!

I am learning.....When to say no!  Had plans and tickets for an event on Sat am with Firefly....Snow was slushy and slippery.  Should have said NO...Cassie and Firefly ended up in a ditch hanging on the side of a cliff.  All is well no one hurt and car is fine but what a scare!!

Around the farmstead.....Needing to get some mushroom plugs ordered.  Leeks being started indoors.  Eggs to hatch in only two weeks.  And preparing for some rabbits.

In the kitchen.....Its been a good week in the kitchen.  After a trip to DC and home with some fresh fish which will be on the menu this week ahead.  So many eggs so Quiche for breakfast on our Sunday mornings together.  And a special dessert...a coconut raspberry bundt cake which was absolutely divine!

I am pondering.....A little hard to imagine with the image here.  But while in a local historic town this past week for coffee with Maureen I saw this in a little store.  And I am "pondering" doing something very similiar in the bedroom when we add it.  These are ribbons....all sizes, styles and several colors.  Some solid and some  patterned.  Im thinking of having a friend paint a bare brown tree with limbs on a wall and then using ribbon to create the leaves of the tree.

One of my favorite things.....Snowy days being tucked in here by the fire with the Lumberjack home from work!

Plans for the week ahead......Home for the beginning of the week and happy for that.  A trip to Frederick on Thursday for a dentist appt for Firefly which is always accompanied by a cafe of some sort, Shopping with the girls in town on Friday, Dinner and a walk through Chambersburgs Ice fest with a friend on Saturday and most definately CHURCH on Sunday!

A peek into one of my days from the past week......Traveling knitting!
