Hello Sweet Friends....I'm so glad you dropped by
for a short visit today!
You know Texas weather is never, ever boring....
we can enjoy a sunny January day by the pool with temps in the low 70's
and the very next day, embrace a blustery day with elements
that resemble snowflakes....it can be quite enchanting actually...

Sunday morning snow in Atlanta
I have put on a few touches of a winter casual vibe
in our kitchen, and I think pretty things do help to
brighten the mood of cold January days!

I found this sweet little sugar and creamer on Amazon
and absolutely fell in love with them......
this pattern also has a few other pieces
that I may pick up at a later date!

I sure find it wonderful to use seasonal florals
year after year....and a touch of red berries in amongst
frosted branches is just lovely!

Miss Elizabeth took this photo out on her ranch
which is right before she put the horses in the barn
for the night....her rancher neighbor needed a spot
for some of his cattle, so they have proved to be friendly company
for the horses....a cold January day......

The time has finally come for our grandson Noah,
to relocate out to Montana to begin his college career....
they flew out a few days earlier so that they
could enjoy a family ski trip....
he has a football scholarship to the University of Montana.....

Due to Covid, this new class of Freshmen will
begin the Spring Semester, rather than the normal Fall....
I think like everyone,,,,we are all quite weary of Covid....

After a day of skiing....time for grilling out in the snow.......
I hope 2022 is a year for all of us to
Relax, Restore and Refresh.....
It is our time to be grateful for each day, find the beauty in nature
and realize the importance of being on good terms with all people.

I agree lets celebrate this wintery season, I have some wintery berry bushes with frost sprinkled upon them also, and I added a few little sock snowmen. The bread looks amazing, will save the recipe. And I can see why you had to have that darling sugar and creamer set! And the sweet kitty is always a joy to see! Hugs, Roxy Blog On... We love you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Noah on his football scholarship. I hope that he loves Montana.
ReplyDeleteYou always share the best things...the darling creamer and sugar and the recipes...oh my!
Everything is so pretty, as always.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just love the corner of your kitchen, with the interesting shaped window, where you put different things out, for different seasons. Just a precious spot....
