Happy Sunday

Facial Features-Madelyn's face is changing constantly as she grows

and she is growing fast. I enjoy hearing about her days at school and

how she views the world. She is becoming quite expressive in many ways.

Shadow- This is a very quick snap of my window sill and the shadows it casts

against the opposite wall late in the day. I have always loved shadow play.

Spicy- Some homemade spicy tomato sauce I canned this summer and we

are still enjoying it this winter. The tomatoes still even taste sweet.

Note to self: Can more this summer*

** Gold- A warm, golden fire is one of my very favorite things I look

forward to in the winter season. A fire, the quiet, hot cup of tea

and I will call it "bliss."

* Fabric- Just a piece of the bottom of this dress. Madelyn likes to put

this dress on and play. The crazy thing has wings on it. I don't really

get the wings, but she loves it and that is just fine with me. Crazy that she

wants to wear it on a day when it is 20 degrees outside.

*  *  *  *  * 

I have been in a semi-hibernation mode. These days of winter I find

are long and grey and cold. I am enjoying my new tea called

"Body and Mind". It has jasmine and oolong and some peach.

It keeps me warm these days.

I will be finishing Walden soon, and moving on to a new read.

I am ready to go a-wandering in the fields and the forests

here in the midwest. I have committed to some photos for

Missouri Dept. of Conservation and I am craving a

little vitamin D of the God given kind, LOL.

Here's hoping your days of winter are allowing you

space, and warmth, and sun to go out and wander

along some paths where you can find fresh air

and breathe deeply.

Thank you friends for stopping here.

Happy Sunday, dream big.

  4. Your photos are wonderful. The cozy fire, there is nothing quite like it, and I love the way you have your feet in the shot. Nice. The objects in your window sill create very clear shadows and make a great Shadow Shot.
    Isn't it funny the things kids like to wear at times. Usually something out of season, but if it makes them happy, what's the big deal. They are only little once!

  8. I plan to can every summer again, but somehow forget it. Maybe I should write it down somewhere big in my kitchen: "Can!" Enjoying the summer fruits in winter sounds so wonderful.

    Have a lovely Sunday.

  15. My favorite is your "Shadow" photo! I love me some shadows. I think they make interesting pictures. :) But all of your photos are great! I had thought about doing my fire as gold too, but then changed my mind at the last minute.
