Welcome January ...

January ...

one of my favourite months

the beginning of Twenty~Fifteen

we celebrate the New Year,  Birthdays & an Anniversary this month

♥

 

We have a huge squirrels nest in our garden & the squirrels have been spending most of their time it seems either chasing one another around our yard, or sitting in our lilac tree and eating :-)

Trying to keep them off the feeders, I've put out peanuts and made peanut butter sandwiches ...

but still ... they just love the feeders!

While all the  Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away {including the cedar & pine cone spray shown} :-),

the twinkle lights remain in our kitchen year round.

I just love the glow of tiny white lights.

We were thankful for our fireplace, when the power went out for a few hours last week.

After lighting all the candles, and putting flashlights on the fireplace mantle, we roasted a pan of chestnuts & marshmallows which we turned into smores (Yummy)

I was so happy to have just made a big pot of coffee before the power went out!!!!

Coffee, smores, roasted chestnuts, candlelight & a roaring fire ... made us forget we had no electricity :-D

country drives

sweet friends

a little bit of snow {hoping for more}
