Love this time of the year.....especially from the cozy comforts of the cabin.
We are enjoying ............... all the simple joys

We are Blessed to have a good, and hearty meal
grace our table each night.
There is also lots of baking taking place, so
the smells that fill the cabin are just wonderful.

Sights, Smells, Sounds, delights for all the senses.
I also get much joy from visiting my on-line Friends. All the Blogs have a Christmas feel, everyone is talking about
their traditions, and sharing photos of their homes, & shops,
all decked out for the Season.
I enjoy reading their recipes, and the tiny bits of
their lives they choose to share with us.
On most Blogs .....

You can read and feel the smile in their words.
Its also a time to hear from treasured Friends and Relatives that are parted by miles.....you get a sweet card, or
an updated news letter (I for one love receiving them)
and sometimes its a special phone call.
As the song said ......"Don't Save it All for Christmas" .
Please Remember to reach out and touch someone,
A Smile can convey Warmth,

Connie, what simplistic beauty your home holds, I love it! I especially love all the fresh greens and red berries, I'd have them placed everywhere if I had access to them too!
Such warm words in your post, just lovely!
Merry Christmas my friend!

Hi Connie...what a treat to read your post, just as I took out the last batch of cookies from the oven and while my beef stew slowly simmers and fills the kitchen with good smells for a chilly and rainy night.
