Has it been snowing in your part of the world too? It snowed all day here yesterday; big fluffy flakes that soon covered trees and roofs and transported me to Narnia ;) It’s been real cold, but theses lovely images I found on the Internet have warm my heart… they bring so much joy, and I hope they’ll do the same for you…
May you have a wonderful weekend!
I hope that you are having great day!! We have been extremely busy lately! We are still in the basement remodel process, master closet expansion and major toy organization. I posted lots of pics on facebook!
Today I wanted to share more basement photos with you! They are almost finished. We should have the carpet in here tomorrow.
This is where we are at today.
This is as you walk down.
This will be our guest room.
Here is a peak from the guest room entryway looking at my office.
Ahhh, my office! I am getting really pumped about this! This will be officially my first office.
Here is my view from where my desk will be.
Here is the bathroom.
Here is the hallway. It is 5 feet wide.
This will be our family room. It was supposed to by a toyroom for the kiddos but my hubby snuck in a whole surround system and TV rack. I didn’t even want a TV down here.
Here is the other side. On the right, we have a small kitchenette and the back room is an unfinished storage/workout room.
Here is a close up of the kitchenette.
I am getting ready to bring stuff back down to our basement! Right now everything is in our living room, dining room and garage. It is getting a little tight in here.
I will show you our closet update next.
What are you working on?
Have a great day! :)
And I have noticed that outside my kitchen window is still daylight. This is good; this is very good. The sun’s arc has began growing longer and higher in the sky; which means, days are lengthening—we’re walking towards something marvelous, and in case I forget (I tend to do that often), I have discovered that all I have to do is hop over to my bloggy friend Kathy and be reminded that we are just about 63 days away from spring… yes, spring! And all these many words just to say that? Why do I go round and round words?—like a moth irrevocably drawn to a flame.
Yes, I love words; all those silent consonants, words that can either be interpreted in English while spoken in Spanish or Italian or French; words that came straight to English from Medieval Latin—go figure; and then there are long words, short words; pretty words; too complicated words and words that mean nothing, and when you use them you’re pretty much guaranteed to end all conversation and, most probably scare off a few readers from your blog as well ;) But your options are unlimited. Do I make sense? No sense at all? I understand ;)
We are expecting a cold front tonight; dropping to a chilly 17 degrees early tomorrow morning, the lowest temperatures of the new year thus far… Historically speaking, the period between January 10 and 20 brings more below-zero temperatures to our valley than any other time during the winter. I’m not looking forward to it—chilly temperatures that make your face so numbed you can’t hardly feel your nose is dripping… drip drip—winter bitter winter biting, but inside is very inviting! ;)
And I have visions of a cottage softly illuminated by the twinkling light of candles, a light snow is falling outside; a warm fire inside, the children are nestled all snug in their beds, heated blankets, wool socks and furry friends—visions of winter cozyness… you get the idea.
The wonderful smell of the aforementioned garbanzo soup is starting to draw my family to the kitchen… just in time for dinner, so I better be off now! But before I go I want to say THANK YOU for always always being here; for your comments and silent words; for being this immense part of my life and my little world. I thank YOU. Please feel the love floating away… your way.
