Some photos, not yet posted........

It was so cold here, on Monday, that I couldn't get warm.  So I turned on the oven and baked the above.  :-)  A Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread with added walnuts and cherries.   It warmed the house and tasted delicious!  Win... Win...

A cold twilight sky....

An over 20 year old picture.  'Pop' and our first Grand Daughter, whom I took care of, while Mommy/Daddy worked.  She was always an "I-Can-Do-It" girl.  :-)  And you can see her above, taking over the cleaning of potatoes, from 'Pop'.
.
She is still an "I-Can-Do-It"  girl.  She is an Electrical Engineer, in charge of building sites.
.
A dinner of left-overs.  Organic baked potatoes, which were hash browned..  Left-over slices of grass fed beef meatloaf.  Quite yummmmy.  :-)  One of those "even better the next day" kind of meals. 
 .
Thank you for liking my every day dishes.

A peek into the Hearth Room...

I love, love, love to see peeks into the homes of bloggers.  So I thought I'd show a couple, myself.
.
Looking up, from the bottom of the picture...  The railing is between the Kitchen/Eating area, and the Hearth Room.  There is one step down, into the Hearth Room.

The table next to the railing, is an old Kitchen table, from my side of the family.  On it, at the left, is a child's toy iron stove.  Which belonged to my husband's mother.  

Past the table, is my husband's chair.  (I still have to make a lamp shade skirt, for his light!)  To the right, is my chair.  With my little book table, beside it. 
.
Taken from this direction, it shows my husband's chair, the tv, and the patio doors.  From my chair on the right, I can always see the changing scene, of the back yard and beyond.  I love this view, all hours of the day and night, and all year long.  :-)
.
It you love peeks into blogger's homes, as much as I do, please consider giving us some peeks into your home.  Please and thank you.

SNOW.............................. :-))))))

.
I finally got some snow!!!
.
It began last night...
.
And it is still continuing today...

Ooops, it stopped.  Just as well.  Don't need a lot.  :-)
.
(I've used this quote before,
but use it again,
because it fits.)
.
"Out of the cloud-folds
of her garments shaken...
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
