50 Things Joyfilled People Have In Their Home...

I was recently drawn to a blog post with the title...

 50 Things Joyfilled People Have In Their Homes

I was so curious...it was presented in the form of a list, 

I wondered how many of these things could be found in my home..

"Click Here" to view that list.

I started out really well, my decline came at the end, I ended up with 20 of the 50.

I know I have a joyful home because I am in it all the time and 

everything here brings me a lot of happiness.

I went by the list in the post:

1. Colorful Mugs & Bowls...

2. Soft Throw Blankets...

I made the white blanket on the left, the blueish/brown one is crafted with alpaca fiber.

3. House Plants In Fun Pots...

Paperwhites are almost ready to bloom.

6. Candles...

7. A Cozy Reading Chair...

The Day After

The day after the storm...

the sky remained gray and the sun never really came out until sunset. 

Nothing looked "pretty" like it usually does.

I was excited about Monday...you may remember I slept through most of the snow fall on Sunday,

and I missed the early football game.

Moral of the story...check your pills twice before you take them.

The snowblower broke, broke, broke and can only be fixed in a repair shop.

We will have to drive more than an hour to get it fixed and they will have it for 3 weeks.

There was a hardware store nearby that serviced this model, but they went out of business.

I spent a bit of time on Monday, photographing the birds and got a bunch of really good pictures.

At least I thought they were good.

I will share them all another day, maybe Saturday.

The sun came out, just before sunset, we received 7 inches of snow.

We were expecting more.

The snow on the deck formed this pretty pattern, it reminded me of the sand on the beach.

So goodbye Fern...we have "heard" their is another storm coming this Sunday,

but when I asked Google she said no.

All of our night time temperatures are in the single digits...highs during the day are around 20,

this snow is going to be around for a while.

I will have to rob a bank to pay my gas bill!
