It is always a joy to wander around your beautiful 'sweet cosy' cottage, Karen. So much joy and beauty to drink in, in this post, Karen. Your descriptive language always makes my soul smile. Love your 'new' magazine rack, especially the hydrangea. =) How wonderful for your grandsons to be able to spend many hours with their grandpa, enjoying each other's company.

Your husband's new workshop looks great and you seem to be talented at woodworking too. <br />I needed to look for the Finnish proverb about winter... I don't know that one! On the Internet, I found it in English like this "The winter does not leave without a backward glance" but the version you found is more beautiful. :)<br />Wishing you and yours a happy new month of March. xxSara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-9053985799718252352020-03-03T04:41:06.066-08:002020-03-03T04:41:06.066-08:00I enjoyed your photos in the early spring.

Very nice! And to live like the mountain is out -- that's great! Your sunrises are gorgeous. I'm a tad envious of all the spring there. We had quite a snow yesterday (though not so bad as predicted) and I can't complain since winter has been mild. I'm still getting over the yuck stuff that sounds much like yours. Slows a person down. Just trying to kick it fast. It goes at its own rate of speed! Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by Marmelade Gypsy.

I love the pieces that you painted. Typical old pieces of hand painted Cottage furniture and very well done and pretty. We are having sunshine every day and while I am not complaining, we need some moisture so badly. But, it does look so pretty shining in the windows, even if it does highlight the dust and cobwebs.

So sorry to hear you've been sick lately. These coughs can last a long time, which is sometimes scary. Oh, Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorites. It's nice of you to bake some and put them in your new cookie jar. The yellow daffodils are a sure sign that Spring is on its way. It's a joy to see all the hummingbirds around your house. What a sweet and dear bird this is. I really like the "struggles" quote. The pictures of your grandson walking with the dogs is so precious, Karen. Oh, I love those old magazine racks. They don't make them like that any more, and they're so sturdy. It looks so nice painted blue with the painted hydrangea on the side. You did a wonderful job with this project. The painted dresser upstairs is charming as well. You have many talents, Karen, and I really enjoy seeing all the creative things you do throughout your day. : )<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-88280648051458413732020-02-26T09:06:53.421-08:002020-02-26T09:06:53.421-08:00Oh My...this lifted my spirits Karen...beautiful s...Oh My...this lifted my spirits Karen...beautiful shots of the Mountain with those spectacular cloud formations...<br />Love your painting...very creative...maybe this Summer I will have more energy, and get at a few things I had in mind as well...I have the same magazine rack at my cottage...I think it needs to be spruced up!!<br />Snowing here today...haven't really had a bad winter here in Southern Ontario Canada...<br />Looking forward to Spring!!<br />Enjoy these last few days of February...<br />Cheers!<br />Linda :o)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682800877894439940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-84578400951600509752020-02-26T06:14:07.204-08:002020-02-26T06:14:07.204-08:00the images of the sky and mt. rainier are really b...the images of the sky and mt. rainier are really beautiful!! life here is similar, but we have had an extremely mild winter and no snow!! walks with the grandchildren are always so special, he looks like a cut-ie!! your "thrifty re-do" is really gorgeous. i enjoyed the step by step directions you provided!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.com
