As one season fades and another begins to shine, winter is just around the corner.
I am excited as I adore winter and I get so excited when it snows.
In preparation for this new season, I have made up this winters,
Bucket List
We do not plan on doing all of this...this list is a "reminder" list of things we would enjoy doing.
Some of these are "spur of the moment" activites, some we plan ahead for.
It's nice to have a list similar to this so when you have a free day, you have plenty of things to choose from.
We have had some really gorgeous November sunsets.
Some have been heartwarming like this one at Lake of the Lilies, some have been spectacular....
all have been enjoyed and appreciated.
I saw these soup mugs on a cooking vlog I watch and I knew I had to have them.
I had a feeling they were going to be a little expensive, so I decided before I went to the website
I was going to buy them...no matter the cost. I purchased 2 of these soup mugs from
They came quickly, triple wrapped for protection and they are gorgeous handcrafted pottery.
They came with 3 cards, one with care instructions, one said Merry Christmas and Thank You
and the last card gave a complete history of the creator, Robert Alewind.
I LOVE the color and design,
it was the hubs favorite and my friend Liz liked the blue also.
It has a huge handle for holding the mug and there is a designated grove for your thumb.
I am really excited to make some homemade soup to enjoy in these.
Some of the plants inside the house are blooming, I can never get enough of plants that bloom.
Since it is starting to flower, I assume it is a Thanksgiving Cactus.
It has a total of 8 flowers coming.
right in my own backyard.
They were forecasted to be seen Wednesday night also, I went out several times but it was too cloudy!
But how lucky was I to experience this?
Did anyone else see this extraordinary phenomenon?

Beautiful sunset captures Debbie!
Your soup mugs are cute, great find.
I love the flowering plants, our cactus has not started blooming yet. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
That second photo is epic. There is a softness, just gorgeous!
Whoa Debbie your photos of those sunsets are spectacular. My little cactus plant has not bloomed in a few years. boo hoo. I used to have a large one that was beautiful every Thanksgiving. Left that one with the kids in Pennsylvania.
What a fun post! I like your idea of having a list that is a "would like to do" and not a "have to do." I might have to implement that! Those soup bags and mugs are wonderful.
Hi Debbie, beautiful sunset sky and northern light. Beautiful bloomed cactus. I like your idea of the bucket list. Have a nice weekend.
Beautiful photos of spectacular sunsets and the Northern Lights. Every blooming flower brings joy. Yours are as charming as the soup cups. I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Such beautiful November skies.
Have a happy and peaceful weekend ... these weeks seem to fly by!
All the best Jan
Hi Debbie, Merry Weekend! yes, I got two of the big paintings hung up so far. I love your new soup mugs. I made homemade "tater" soup yesterday...left-overs for supper tonight. I LOVE TO MAKE SOUPS! On tater soup we put bacon bits, croutons, shredded cheese, maybe some of those crispy dried onions. I love soups with cornbread too, but last night it was just plain crackers. Love your pretty sky pictures. Hugs!
I know you will be enjoying some fun things this winter :). The sunsets, especially the first one is just gorgeous, they always bring peace :) Those cups are so cool, I bet you will be getting good use out of them this winter. When it gets cold, having blooming plants inside is so neat. My rose bush I have inside has bloomed with 4 roses, I had to clip one of them off today, so now it is only 3, but will be enjoyed.
We did not catch this last northern lights display, we had to get up early the next morning so we didn't wait for it, but we got the one a couple years ago so we have seen them before.
