Your home looks so warm and cozy! <br /><br />I wish I we lived in an area that has the four seasons. <br /><br />My husband and I live in southern California and our seasons are much more subtle than yours. Today we have gale force winds from 20 to 60 miles an hour. The sky is bright, sunny and clear and it's going to be a warm day. <br /><br />I've been meaning to make a trip over to the arboretum for some time now. Today will be filled with cleaning, but perhaps tomorrow I can slip on over for a little while?<br /><br />I'm enjoying your blog, it's very inviting. <br /><br />Blessings in Christ...Susansusanwalkergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101345350398403328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-13066272786148613932012-01-28T11:18:27.815-05:002012-01-28T11:18:27.815-05:00Weather here is wonderful, almost spring like.

In a society that is so disposable I am wondering how many of our descendants will have treasures like yours.<br /><br />I do have a bread bowl that was my mother-in-law (who is 96 and still living on her own) her mother's bread bowl...we have figured out is old enough to have been in the civil war time...I am still researching things I have recently been given..I think my age is starting to treasure these past items.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-63066125362603930202012-01-28T08:12:09.999-05:002012-01-28T08:12:09.999-05:00Jan. 28th...

For huffing/and/puffing about no REAL Jan. weather in the north east. I just got not-much, over here. And you got an ice storm. Yishhhh....<br /><br />Is this the real reason you missed some posting?

It's a little chilly, temps hovering around freezing (0 - 3 Celsius). But I'll take cold and sun over warm and rain anyday - because the warm is not really warm at all.<br /><br />Not much exploring going on in my world. I did go to the mall today, haven't been for a long time. If I'm to start subbing, I'm going to need a few more clothes. I hate trying on things. Came home with one top. And then I watched the last episode of the first season of Downton Abbey. I'm a little late to the party and didn't want to jump into season two without any background. Now I'll have to download Season Two from somewhere so I can catch up. I want Lady Mary's wardrobe.

We had 10 days of cold weather and some snow in November and then a week of very cold weather two weeks ago. Sorry to hear of your ice storm but the mosaic is well done. Oddly enough my husband and son are going ice fishing tomorrow and I was wondering what I should do tomorrow. Opening my grandfather's army trunk and taking photos of the contents had just come to mind awhile ago....I've been organizing family photos...a massive job!

I use it as a blanket chest at the foot of my bed.<br /><br />I have many negelcted chores which I hope to twackle this weekend. Taking it one day at a time these days.<br /><br />We had heavy rain on and off all day, but thankfully it has remained above freezing.

So far, we've got about 5 inches of snow here but there is some ice pellets mixed in with it now which we are supposed to get for a while then maybe freezing rain or rain. Nasty day! I haven't had time to explore much today other than getting caught up on blogposts - after I did my housework of course. Have a great weekend Vee!
