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}
Welcome January ♥

Watch those little squirrels. My husband would bring home nuts for them to eat. They decided they liked us and began to eat they way into our house in several places. They even started eating on an old church pew sitting on our porch.
Oh loved the pics of the squirrels.
Even though I live in the countryside We don't see many. I saw more when I lived in London.
They looked like they were posing for you, just wonderful.

hi Debby, oh yes... they have done their share of damage here too - sharpening their teeth on our cedar deck and tree where we hang our feeders & then decided to eat through a few twinkle light cords ... they keep hubby busy :-D
hi Rosezeeta, the squirrels like to sit in the tree just outside the kitchen and stretch their necks to look inside ... they know I will get up and toss a treat out for them :-)thank you for your visit ♥
