winterlove {№3}


i love the light that streams through our windows on sunny winter days.  there are loads of trees surrounding our home and the light is filtered with leaves the rest of the year.  but for now until about the middle of april, i'm enjoying the bright clear light.

i crank up the electric blanket, brew myself a cup of tea and settle under the sheets with a good book.  winter's pace gives me freedom to really slow down and rest.  i don't feel the same pressure to do as i often feel in warmer months.


the weekend doesn't feel long enough.  i'm still waiting for a nice safe snow day.  on monday, i had the dogs and my laptop in bed with me and watched all seven episodes of downton abbey, season one.  have you seen this?  i'm obsessed.  i haven't thrown myself this far into a television show since sex and the city.  i'm all caught up now and can't wait for sunday night to see what happens next.

I am heading downstairs in a second to watch episode one season one of Downtown Abbey. I am so happy to hear you loved it. I love your pile of books.

Snuggly winter days....very nice. I know I have said this before, but I just have to tell you that I LOVE your photos. That Buddha one, I remember it when...and I would always have known it was yours. You have a warmth of style and color that you somehow manage to make bright at the same time as you make it subtle and soft. They are art. They are enough, but yet I always want more! Enjoy your winter days and your show! I Remember watching whole seasons of Sex and the City over the winter, too! I'll have to check this show out now. I have not heard of it. K

I agree with you, winter sunlight light is just so welcoming and has a peaceful feel to it.

I am smiling as I look at your books,
I just finished Colum McCann's "Let the great world spin" I have read bird for bird and I also have Colour. We share some of the same taste in books.

Have a great

Totally. obsessed. with Downton Abbey too. Is it not the most decadent feast for the eyes? In addition to the incredible script, acting, character development... Glad you've got some glorious winter light to enjoy too. :)
