Monday Morning in Pictures

More snow. The kids were out of school for the holiday. The day started swell.

whispy white.

surveying his wintery kingdom.

it was hard to abandon this marshmallowy nest.

snow accumulating on my table too.

crepes for them...

bananas, agave, flax, and Fage for me.

soaking beans for dinner.

wearing his new "mama made" hat. (it still needs a pom-pom.) pattern here.

out with our neighbor friends on the brush covered sledding hill. 

Not a bad start to the week!

Behind the scenes

Lest you think that I've totally checked out, I thought that I'd better pop in and give you a behind the scenes look at things that have been happening around here. 


I ripped out the garden and put it to bed for the winter


Finished a book (good one!)


Getting ready for two weeks of travel starting next week. Can't wait to get on that plane!


I'm working on a total redesign of this blog- I'm really excited about it!


Crochet a little hat...

(Laurel greets the day. We had such a beautiful sunrise this morning.)


Thanks for being patient with me as I juggle it all! Hope to be back soon!
