WINTER PASSIONS....COZY INSPIRATION

 Good Morning Loves...
I am happy to report that Christmas decorations
have all been packed up and stored away..
it feels good to be less decorated
and transforming colors from red and green,
to creamy soft ivory...



A brand new calendar has been hung in the kitchen...
I am always drawn to a folk art type of look...



This year, I am placing myself on a strict budget...
magazines are becoming so very expensive,
so why not repeat and find inspiration with what you already have?



New Year's Eve 2024 marked the third year of Otis's "Adoption Day!"
He is much loved and such a darling soul....



The NYE gathering down in Escondido was another fun and festive celebration!



The newly married couple celebrated the New Year down on the ranch
with their beloved Maverick....



Around the house, there are small touches to embrace the winter season.....


I love seasonal touches in the guest bathroom.....


Lucy and I can be found snuggled down in soft throws,
watching old movies....


My favorited new obsessions for breakfast are 
yogurt with frozen berries and pecan granola.....


and....a bagel  with cream cheese, placed in the AIR FRYER
AT 400 DEGREES FOR FOUR MINUTES,
then sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with honey



And a forgotten favorite for dinner...
a healthy taco salad drizzled with Honey French Dressing..
gosh this was delicious!!!!



How do you plan to bloom this year?

  2. I will continue to enjoy my 'Christmas House' through January. I think it's the prettiest one yet and I just want to enjoy it awhile longer. Plus - Louis Dean's granddaughter and family are coming to visit soon. They live in Snyder, Texas and it will be fun to entertain them while still decorated!
