. . . . . . . . . and the cottage entry is bathed in cold, bright sunlight.
Today I'm very busy 'taking down' and packing away the Christmas decorations indoors -
but I'm taking a quick break from all that so I can say "good morning" and
share the sunshine with you.
The cottage/garden/gazebo exterior was done on Sunday when it was much
warmer and working outside was quite pleasant and invigorating.
When I raised the dining room window blinds this morning I think the first visitor,
a Tufted titmouse, was waiting for me to melt the ice. With hot water in the
tea kettle I did just that, and scattered a few nuts nearby for a breakfast
snack. Being so much colder now, the birds, and of course squirrels, are out
in force. We filled all the feeders yesterday so today they are happy.
I loved all your 'ironing' comments on the previous post.
Thanks for sharing how you address one of those home chores which we all
face at some time or another.
