Come along as we build a raised garden bed in the Hugelkulture fashion.

I am in love with this little copper kettle I foun I am in love with this little copper kettle I found at an antique mall a few weeks ago. It’s so cheery and happy. ⁣
⁣
I just felt like copper was going to be my color for spring this year. I’m still enjoying the snow, but I wanted to bring a little warmth to my decor. ⁣
⁣
Have you started decorating for spring? I might add some florals eventually but I’m loving this look so far. ⁣

Evenings by candlelight. My favorite way to unwind Evenings by candlelight. My favorite way to unwind is by candlelight. It’s the most stressful lighting to my husband! LOL ⁣
⁣
I tried battery operated candles and while they are nice, they just aren’t the same. I know he swears I’m going to burn the house down, but so far so good. 🕯😆⁣
⁣
I don’t know how he would’ve survived in the old days days when all we had was candlelight and a fireplace. We would’ve had to go to bed at six because he would want to blow out the candles right after dinner. 🤣⁣
⁣
These candlesticks were all bought at estate sales except one was from @hobbylobby. The round basket was from @walmart and it’s still available on shelves now. ⁣
⁣
I hope none of you are having to live my candlelight but is anyone burning candles more now that it’s SO cold outside? ❄️🥶 ⁣

The morning sun just kissed the front of the house The morning sun just kissed the front of the house before I left for work this morning. The snow is drifted everywhere and it’s a gorgeous scene. 

I wish I could take pictures while I’m driving but I obviously don’t wish to die! ☠️
The fields look smooth and there is a white farmhouse that I pass every morning that was picture perfect. 

I know lots of people (my Aunt Mary) do not share my love of winter but you hav to admit it does make a pretty picture as long as you don’t have to drive in it. 😉 

Be safe out there!

Happy Valentines Day! I love this holiday because Happy Valentines Day! I love this holiday because it’s sweet. It doesn’t take a whole lot to just be kind to the ones you love, just a sweet card with reason you love them is enough. 

I picked up these roses and tulips from Walmart early last week and that was perfect for my Valentines flowers. 

I hope this day is filled with lots of love, even if it is -2 where you live. Actually, you might get more cuddles that way!
The hutch needed a little winter update but it did The hutch needed a little winter update but it didn’t take much work to transition it over from Christmas. I really just had to remove the red! 

I am so glad I decided to put a hutch in this space. It’s been so fun to play around with decorating it and I love the storage.

I’ve been waiting for some snow to complete my l I’ve been waiting for some snow to complete my little front porch vignette but it looks like the snow is going to pass us by this year. We have had some snow showers but it’s been too warm to stick. ⁣
⁣
Guess I’m going to have to go to Colorado to see some snow this year!⁣
⁣
I found that gorgeous wooden sled at as estate sale earlier this year for a steal. I’ve been waiting for snow to show up so I could use it but it looks pretty cute on the front porch anyway. ⁣
⁣
That fire pit I obtained from a junk pile and just spray painted it. I hope the wind doesn’t blow too hard or it might just fall apart cause it’s really just a rust bucket held together by paint! ⁣
⁣
I love using stuff I’ve found for decorations. It’s so much fun! My husband thinks I’m a nut sometimes for stopping and picking up “treasures” on the side of the road. ⁣

Anyone else’s husband feel that way? 😂🤷🏼‍♀️😁 ⁣

The first day of 2021 is covered in ice. It’s ha The first day of 2021 is covered in ice. It’s hazardous and slippery but it’s also beautiful. ⁣
⁣
Kinda like a lot of things in life. Most things are not all good or all bad. The trick is finding the blessing hidden inside the trial. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s hidden really really deep and it may take years to find out why we had to go through those trials in our life. ⁣
⁣
But I have faith. Faith that God can use these hard things to benefit me. We can choose to become more compassionate after we go through hard times or we can become bitter. ⁣
⁣
I am so thankful that I serve a God that I can ask the hard questions. I’m not afraid to ask Him “why” ? He has big enough shoulders to handle my concerns and comfort me when there isn’t an answer. ⁣
⁣
So there is beauty in our pain, just like the ice. ⁣
⁣
Good grief, I didn’t mean for this to get so deep but sometimes it just pours out!⁣
⁣
I hope this year is filled with joy. ⁣
