Soon....

Can't wait till it's warm enough to open the windows.

At the expense of My Igloo, I know... :-(

Maybe next winter, My Igloo will take on a whole new look ;-)

Sweet Dreams...

Good Morning World :)

Good Morning :)

Good Morning! :)

Time for an update ;-)

I spent a big part of the week going through boxes and boxes of my daughter's clothes. Pretty much everything from her first days to now. All of which I had packed up and sealed away, just in case. Y'all know how that goes ;-)

Well, I have a few reason for doing this "now". The main one is because my daughter's Godmother, who was in town for a few days, just had a baby of her own. And my daughter is now the little one's Godmother :-)

And since going through everything that belongs to me in this house is a major priority lately... I though it was perfectly suited to pass on my daughter's childhood things to this new little treasure, my baby's Goddaughter <3

So now my basement looks like something exploded all over the place. I got piles of boxes everywhere, a lot now empty, thank God. I sent off boxes of old toys and a bunch of bags filled with clothes to goodwill, and kept the best for the Little One. I washed all the chosen pieces and took it all to them yesterday. 

The new mommy was just 13 when my daughter was born. And we were all very close 'till she went off to college. She lives about 4 hours away now with her new little family, so we don't get to see them very often. Years do go by so fast.

Back to the sorting, I wish I was done, but I have a lot more to go though, because yes, I did keep everything. I wonder how many people actually do that. As some of you might get, it's been very nostalgic to go through all "my" baby's stuff, but I'm glad it's being cleared out. We gotta look to the future eh... Moving on as they say ;-)

Aurora Borealis Are In Our Sights

I'm gonna check it out... ;-)

Wondering if they'll be visible close to home?

Check out the map below...

Looking up at the night sky has always been cleansing for me.

I find Andromeda most fascinating...

Good Morning Sunshine :)

We got way more snow than this picture illustrates but I opted to represent the warmth of a Quiet Monday instead. Well not warm yet, gotta make a fire first. And I would so crawl under the covers right now... maybe I'll give in this afternoon.

Time to get busy now.... ;-)

Busy Day...

Had to pop in and say Hey :-)

Hope everyone is having a warm Saturday

Good Morning :)

Morning World :)

Don't you just love double standards... :/

At least my girl ain't freezing her tushy off ;-)

Good Morning :)

Back to reality. Time to bring in

some more wood and build a fire... Brrrr

~ Someday I'll wake up to a warm house ~

Good Morning Sunshine :)

I just love old buildings like this. Every time I see one I get this urge to go explore. When I get the chance to, which only happens when I'm alone.... I like to take my time and feel the energy that is unique to each one. Use all of my senses, and take it in, in a way that it stays with me. I find it very cleansing :-)

Perhaps on that day I would marvel at how it was built. How all the different parts fit together. The adage "They don't make 'em like they use to" definitely applies here. I like to consider the thought process of why something is the way it is. How it got it's start. In terms of it's life purpose, the intent with which it was built, the use that come of it and of course how time has affected it, changed it, abused it, weakened it, supported it and shaped it. How the surroundings have grown and transformed around it, making that old building part of the landscape in a way that removing it would be like amputation of a living part.  

Or maybe the purpose of the exploration would be in the hopes of finding a little something insignificant that I can take back with me, something that tells part of "the story". Or maybe even a treasure that is going to waste. Something that the owners would have no issues parting with. A piece that could be restored and displayed in ones living quarters... 

Just a little something to think about ;-)
