Early Decorating.

We're having some beautiful weather and I have a surgery coming up, so we took advantage of another warm afternoon and started to do our outside decorating. Often we do this in October but this year, with the warm, extended Fall, it felt okay to wait a bit longer. Now that Halloween is over, all those decorations came down and up went our wreaths, some garlands on the front veranda and our two tiny trees in front of the door. Our lights stay up all year round but we'll add in our inflatables, more garland and some sweet items to make the entrance warm and inviting to any guests we welcome over the holidays. Looking forward to a lovely season this year and all the new memories that will be created in our little cozy cottage.

Dense Woods.

It's harder to see in the photo but our

woods are quite dense in different spots

around us. I love how the sun shines

through and the path looks so inviting.

A Week Ago ....

.... and our world was blanketed in white! A

storm that was predicated actually happened

and literally shut down everything until the

next morning. We came home just after lunch.

Here's our little cottage in the woods, buried

behind the trees and deep within the snow.

A deer came out, just after dinner, to look

for his own meal, now covered all up.

Wondering if he should venture into the

woods or continue to pluck from our yard.

Spotting us peeking out the windows.

We whisper when we see our deer!

Looking around at the hushed noises

from our house .... so close to us this time.

And finally, trekking back to the forest

to meet up with his little family. Nice visit.
