In the wake of the most...shall I say, INTERESTING...election in history - most of the country is still reeling over the results.
Yesterday was quite the day.
I'm glad the election is in the past, but I'm afraid for our future.
Meanwhile, on our little mountain top, life goes on.
What choice do we have?
All the leaves are gone from our trees. I can see straight through the woods, watch all the critters scampering about in the carpet of leaves.
The birdbath was frozen solid this morning - poor little birdies. But the sun will warm it throughout the day, giving them enough water to take a drink.
The suet hanging outside the kitchen window has been a most popular dining spot - I bought a double suet holder to replace the single one, which will keep me from having to fill it as often.
Indoors, the morning sun shines through the windows, making both the plants and me ever so happy.
The evenings are long now, with darkness falling before I even get home from work. The lit twigs on the top of the china cabinet in the dining room mingle with the glow of candle light throughout my cozy house. Lamps are lit, illuminating dark corners and bringing warm ambiance to a cold night.
And the little monkey spends as much time as possible curled up in front of the fire.
Life goes on....and life is good.
It is a happy room, all your rooms are. I know you love being there and I'm sure everyone who comes there loves it too.
ReplyDeleteIt IS a happy room, Dewena, you are so right! Thank you for that - I love that thought!
DeleteYour pup is so cute! Love your cozy home!
ReplyDeleteShe's cute...and bold....and bratty....and I adore her!
DeleteYes Debbie, life does go on. All we can do is pray that good decisions will be made for this country. Your home is lovely and I am sure it is a cozy place to be during these long fall and winter nights :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen! It is a warm and cozy house, for sure, with the fire going and the candles and soft lighting. I am such a homebody!!
DeleteLOVE the twig lights. Where did you get those?
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, I actually bought those years ago at a little shop in Woodstock, NY!
DeleteBeing home is my favorite place. Yours looks like a very cozy place to be!
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond cozy, AnnMarie - that's probably why I'm such a huge homebody!
DeleteOur homes are our refuge and times like these make us realize that fact all the moreso! Where did you find those cool twig lights?
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie - I found those many years ago in a cute little shop in Woodstock, NY!
DeleteAll of the trees in your woods have lost their leaves...in stark contrast to the trees here in Texas...all still have their leaves and are green...LOL. Love your home, it is just so pretty!! Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benita! Yes, it's incredible how different our worlds are although we are in the same country!
DeleteEverything is so cozy in your home, especially your dogs, lol! Hugs to you today :)
ReplyDeleteMy pups are so incredibly spoiled, no doubt!
DeleteI'm right there with ya on that. Much prayer will be needed...
ReplyDeleteYour house is so snuggly. Love how the light comes in and bathes everything in warmth. Enjoy!
Thanks, Daisy!! Much prayer, indeed....
DeleteIm glad the election is over. It was just crazy! I pray for peace, love and good decisions for the country that's obviously split down the middle. I ready for new hope. I pray for the new President for he has a long hard road ahead of him. Love looking at pictures of your cozy home and sweet pup.
ReplyDeleteLisa
I pray our country can unite and support one another, and I pray for good changes to come!
DeleteYour home defines "cozy"...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna!! Indeed it does, to me at least!
DeleteLove to see your Jack Russels. Since losing my last one, I have adopted two shelters dogs. Even though I love them, I will always miss having a Russel.
ReplyDeleteOur little Jacks really have their own personality, don't they?
DeleteYour little fur baby is just sooooo sweet. What a cutie. Happy Friday and have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
She's a cutie, but a bold one, Kris!! I love her to bits, though!
DeleteI am glad that we too live on a little mountain away from city life. I fear for all cities in America and what the results of this election are going to do to our nation.
ReplyDeleteSame here - it's scary to see all the protests, I'm just grateful they haven't erupted into riots.
DeleteYour home is a lovely haven and is such a joy for you to come home to at the end of a day. There is joy and peace, comfort, love and good things to eat and drink.
ReplyDeleteI like your twig lights too.
Have a wonderful weekend ~ FlowerLady
Thank you, Lorraine!
DeleteI am glad the election is over and only hope that we can unite as a country to stand strong against those that seek to terrorize us. I think we will be okay in the end.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scene you have there and I love the lights. xo Diana
Same here, Diana - I hope and pray for peace and positive changes.
DeleteOur election process is way too long and drawn out, and maybe we should start to think about the electoral college. Seems Maryland is getting the ball rolling in that direction by opting out.
ReplyDeleteYour lights look so lovely!
Thanks, Doreen - I somehow doubt there will be any changes to the election process in the near future, but hey, you never know, right?
DeleteI still have not gotten used to DST and it becoming dark so early
ReplyDeleteSame here, Deb - it just doesn't feel right yet!
DeleteI love the twig lights in your plant and I love how content your furbaby is! I was looking at your dining room hutch, and the door and top of it looks just like the one that belonged to my husband's parents. It's in our dining room now.
ReplyDeleteI bought that hutch from Craig's List right before I moved into my home - I knew I needed something for that corner and my previous 'big green monster' was far too big! I really love it!!
DeleteYour home is so very cozy. All we can do is try to stay safe and sane. I guess I'll go out even less than I did before. And it was scary enough then.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Safe and sane.....yes, please!
