WINTRY SCENES

-

 

Hello lovely people!
I hope you are well and full of good cheer!






Winter is here for sure. I think we are in for a difficult season this time around. So far we have had very cold temps as well as rain turning to snow. I have been spending my time going to physical therapy. In the beginning it was hell but I am now feeling the benefits in my back and hips. I am still enjoying my knitting and have quite a collection of circular knitting needles. Right. Now I am knitting shawls and fingerless gloves.    
I am posting a mishmash of photos that I hope you will enjoy. The first few are of Lubec, a small coastal town about 2 hours from Bar Harbor. 
This next photo was taken early in the morning and is hoar frost in the shape of a flower…`how pretty is that! 
And then I came across these pretty flowers covered in icy snow. Wowy ❣️



Gratitude Journal

I have decided to add a new segment to my blog.

1. My iPhone camera
2. Family.  
We got together with daughter, Judi, son in love, Erick, and grandsons to celebrate youngest grandchild, Joshua’s 15th birthday. We ate at a Japanese Steakhouse and then came back to our house for cake and gifts.









I have only decorated the living room dining room and half the tree. I have yet to wrap gifts.

A Christmas Carol


And there you have it, 
It’s Sunday today, the Sunday before Christmas.





May your days be merry and bright.

    I love your Christmas decorations. And those pictures of ice flowers! And ice with flowers! :) And the pictures of boats floating on the fog-covered water are beautiful and serene looking. Thank you for sharing them all, Susan.

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
