Monday Musings

Out in my yard today... a very wet and rainy day.  My thermometer says 40 degrees, a fairly warm day compared to what we've been having the last couple of weeks. 



The rain is slowly melting away all of the snow.

Here is my front door looking very festive.

I'm grateful for... the extra bit of time I've had lately to work on some projects at home.  I am a homebody and I love just puttering around the house.

One of my favorite things... Christmas lights!  Any size, shape, or color- I really enjoy seeing all of the lights at this time of the year.

This week I'm reading... Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs.  This is book three in her Friday Night Knitting Club series.  A good Christmas story is a must for me each year and I like this author's manner of storytelling.

I'm looking forward to... attending my daughter's high school choir Christmas concert tomorrow evening. She loves to perform and I know that she will light up the stage.  I always enjoy hearing the sounds of the season.

Simple life tip for the week... spending time is a greater gift than spending money, so stop worrying about finding the perfect gift and spend some quality time with the ones you love!
