Blankets

During the past week, it has been extremely cold.

It finally warmed up today.

…but I’m keeping the blankets close by.

A perfect day for reading…

Read to Me
By Jane Yolen

Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes
Read to me stories of magical times
Read to me tales about castles and kings
Read to me stories of fabulous things
Read to me pirates and read to me knights
Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights
Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then
When you are finished- please read them again.

A kettle for the tea…

…to keep us warm.

Bedtime

When I’m ready for bed, I always make sure to have my dolly and a good book.

Nighttime Tea

Becassine and Gammie {our beloved grandma}
were up until the wee hours of the night.

Lots of laughter was coming from the kitchen.

Something blue

Sometimes a girl {a doll in my case} is surfing the web
and comes across something she doesn’t have.
What is said girl {doll} to do?

BUY it, of course!

…and it’s just my size.

Unpacking

Unpacking can be an unpleasant task,
unless its a chest full of toys.

The boys are making sure none of the toys were damaged during the move.

Thank you for all the lovely comment from the previous post.

Hello Friends,

Oh how I’ve missed you.
Our daily chats,
with or without tea.
Stories told and photos shared,
of daily adventures.
Then all of our belongings went into boxes,
so did my sisters and I.
Our cardboard prison held us longer than anticipated, but
now we are free.
Free to play.
Free to enjoy the beauty each new day brings.
Free to visit with you.

I might not be able to make daily appearances, but I will try to stop by more frequently.

Ironwork, part 3

As promised, photos of the installed ironwork.

I LOVE it!

Ironwork, part 2

The kitchen hearth ironwork was just installed.

I’ll try to have better pictures, tomorrow.
