Back in December, Abbey’s rose was the last one blooming in my garden. I repotted it and brought it inside for the winter, unsure of what to expect. Happily, it just started blooming. A small victory over winter! (Pun intended: this cute bloom is about the size of my thumbnail.)
A lovely day to you!
Though it is a cold, gray, wintry day outdoors, inside the house it is warm, colorful and “sunny”.
As always, wishing you a lovely day!
This little guy seemed to be watching me through my office window this morning, wishing for an invitation in.
Stay comfy!
When it is too cold to go outside and play, nothing beats staying in and chewing on a good bone!
May your day be just as happy!
A month ago, I wrote about Abbey’s Rose. It was the last rose blooming in my garden and one to which I have a sentimental attachment. Since it is potted, and I have never successfully overwintered a potted rose outdoors, I decided to try to bring it inside this year. It is covered with new growth, a good sign for the new year for this little rose.
A few of my orchids have also recently sent out new shoots, a good sign that there will be blooms to follow. I look forward to posting more pictures of them once they start to flower.
I hope that your new year is off to a positive start! Best wishes for 2016!
Morning fog, engulfing the Manhattan Public Library, making everything seem to stand still and “now” to stretch on and on in the quietness.
This week’s photography challenge theme: now.
Yesterday’s Post, Now: Late Christmas Day.
Though we did not get Christmas snow overnight, we awoken to a white Christmas in the form of hoar frost. The fog and the frost are making everything seem hushed and peaceful on this Christmas morn.
Now it is time for hot chocolate and presents and thoughts of loved ones near and far. Wishing you a most lovely day filled with peace and joy!

This stocking – made for me by a favorite aunt when I was a little girl -hangs by our fireplace, filled with happy memories of Christmas mornings.
Here’s wishing you happy holiday memories in the making!
With less than a week until Christmas, we are all ready for holiday company. Here are a few pictures from around the B&B today.
A favorite ornament … This one survived the great-crashing-of-the-tree circa 2001. It is hung this year on a potted (living) Norwegian Pine.
Here is some fresh parsley that I have growing in the kitchen. This will go in Baked Pancetta Scallops on Christmas Eve.
Gotta have a few fresh flowers around the house, too. These are from a Christmas Party last week. There were red roses in the arrangement, but the mini-carns out lasted them. We’ll get more roses!
Seasonal decorations … I love the warm feel that they give to the house.
Willow, trying to sleep during a break between happenings.
Looking in through a window, reflecting the outside … This was the view I had earlier today while peering in at my grandparents’ tree. Our front porch (and the library across the street) reflected in the window, making for an interesting and beautiful scene.
Wishing you joy and peace around the holidays and throughout the year!
