Snow Day❄️❄️

My Ruthie had a wonderful day

frolicking in the snow.

Ruthie is an older gal,

but there are times the puppy

within comes to life.

She had a happy smile

on her face this frosty morning.

The snow shadows were lovely...

The back yard looking 

to the Blue Ridge Mountains

takes my breath away...

Ruthie and I took a

little walk together.

Isn't she a pretty girl?

It has been two months 

since we adopted her.

She brings lots of 

happiness and smiles to 

our little cottage...

Back inside I made 

a hot breakfast with a

superfood smoothie.

I buy the SuperFood Blend 

at Walmart and add it to frozen

banana, blueberries, kale

and almond milk.

A tasty way to get your

fruits and veggies...

Later in the evening

I had hot lemon water 

and feasted on the Word.

How do you like my

Mumsy mug?

It was a gift from

sweet daughter 🤗

And....

we finished the John Sloane puzzle

I showed in the last post.

I think it turned out so pretty.

It's bright and Spring-timey...

Just a reminder that the

beauty of this day came

from the mighty and creative 

Hand of the Lord.

You are loved.

A Little Like Heaven

 

Winter storm Fern

has brought some 

bitter weather our way.

I like to create

light and warmth 

in the cottage when 

the weather keeps us in.

We washed our 

oil lamps and filled them.

They cheered the 

Winter night with a

cheerful glow.

We started a John Sloan

puzzle to keep 

our hands busy,

 It has a pretty

Spring time picture 🌺

John Sloan is my

favorite artist.

I'm collecting as many

of his beautiful

puzzles as I can find.

Puzzles are a great way

to keep our minds sharp 

as we get a little older...

so they say🙂

The lantern light

created a nice atmosphere

to chat and enjoy our time together.

In Laura Ingalls book

The Long Winter 

she wrote...

"It was so wonderful to be there,

safe at home, sheltered from

the winds and the cold.

Laura thought that this must be

a little like heaven, 

where the weary are at rest."

That's home...

the place we come 

for shelter and rest

in a weary world.

Homemakers are the

hearts of their homes.

What we create within

our four walls builds a 

little safe haven for

those we cherish.

This evening we enjoyed

hot soup and homemade

Italian herb and cheese bread 

Dear One likes his

toasted with butter 

and melted cheese...

A bit of tea and honey

with a chocolate chip cookie

finished the meal.

Praise God for our

home-sweet-homes.

Whether humble or grand

there is truly

no place like a good home.

God bless you all

as you serve your dear ones

and create a home that is

little bit of heaven on earth
