Winter Sunset.

Well with our weather warnings (Heavy Snowfall) and my recent pictures to show you what Winter looked like at our Little House in the Big Woods this year, I feel I am to blame for inducing one last blast of the white stuff. So in the spirit of "oops", here's a shot I took back in January of the sun going down on a cold Winter's day. Just a snippet of the sun as it starts to disappear behind the house, peaking through the railings of our front veranda. Blue sky that within moments would begin to darken and the stars would soon appear. Such a different sky out here at night. We will truly never grow tired of looking up and seeing bright, twinkling stars and big planets illuminated in the sky. I may share a picture later of the current snow accumulation but I'll wait until the snow actually stops!

Not quite Spring!

 It's my day off from work today. I love having Sundays

with my family and then a day on Monday all to myself.

It's often a day filled with tasks I want to accomplish, a

time to "centre" myself for the week and some fun too.

Today I went over to our income property to paint more

walls, got gas for the car and came home to make a big

pot of homemade soup with biscuits. Soup on the first

day of Spring, you ask? Why yes, I reply! Because we

woke up to snow today and as of this afternoon, we are

now under a "Heavy Snowfall Warning". A very

interesting twist to our warm and snow free Winter!

My task of taking down the Peace frame and put away

Father Christmas and the other small ornaments in our

front hall did not in fact take place. Maybe tomorrow!

Did you get a beautiful Spring day today?

Or are you under a Heavy Snowfall Warning?

After.

Alright, I'm ending the suspense here and now.

The change in our master bedroom is almost complete. 

We moved the one bookcase from the turret over

to the main part of our bedroom and added the

other two end units from my office at our family

centre. We're renovating that space this Spring.

A vignette of art supplies, an Angel, picture and heart.

Simple shelf with a variety of keepsakes to dress it up.

Sweet garland of pretty pink, green and white flowers.

The bookcase unit has lots of space but is still

not too wide to take up the room that we need.

We have to still put the doors on the two end

units and drill holes to put the screws in to

tighten up the whole thing. But we're thrilled to

have our tv higher and room for all our books.

Any changes to your home lately?

Have you done anything to your bedroom?

Before.

Time for a change in our master bedroom.

This is how we have set up our tv.

Not very pleasing to my artistic and creative

eye, so this is now serving as the "Before".

Are you wondering what the "After" looks like?

Stay tuned for the next post with pictures!!

A Final Winter Pic.

The back of our house in January. Typically, the snow

would be up to the deck in our cold tundra. But our

very mild Winter this year created very little snow.

No complaints here as we loved the warmer days.

Was your Winter mild or cold?

Extreme or easy?

My Favorite Time of Day.

A few more Winter shots to show my

favorite time of day, just before dusk.

As the sun gets lower, it casts sweet light

on the snow and warms our home with

the last few rays at the end of the day. This is 

when we feel the cozy in our little house.

Soft and warm, bright and shadowy, truly it is

and will always be my favorite time of day!

Do you have a favorite time of day?

What makes it your favorite?

Bathtub Views.

Love our shower but I'm still a fan

of hot, warm, bubbly baths to relax. 

Our tiles turned out to be just the 

right color for this cozy space.

I can see the tv from my warm spot!

Bubbles everywhere!!

The frosted window our builder surprised us

with. A lovely gift that brings light to our space.

And he added an extra arch above the tub.

Sparkly tiny chandelier ~ gives us the perfect

amount of light without being over powering.

What's your view from your bathtub?

Feel free to share in the comments.

A Cold Winter's Night.

Some images from January, on a cold Winter's night.

So happy that today is the first day of Spring and

our mild but frosty Winter is behind us.
