A New Day With A Thankful Heart

I nearly forgot how much a sunrise can change from day to day until I started taking pictures. I’m lucky right now as we have beautiful views out back especially now that the leaves are gone. I’m such a cheerful riser and I’m so happy my hubby is too. The dawning of each new day brings a celebration of life and reason to be thankful.

Here are a few sunrises we’ve enjoyed the last several days.

November 21, 2008 – Our beautiful BOLD sunrise!


November 22, 2008 – Such a pretty white blanket! Not much of a sunrise but beauty is surely in the eye of the beholder.


November 22, 2008 – The evergreens have such a beauty that spices things up a notch.


November 24, 2008 – It’s another gorgeous morning with so much to be thankful for.


Here’s wishing you a very Happy Day!

Good Morning

I can’t seem to get enough of the early morning beauty out our back windows.

So long my friend!


The snow from the last two days is nearly gone but I have a sneakin’ feeling there’s a lot more to come! It dipped into the high teens this morning and I nearly kicked myself for standing with the door hanging wide open while taking my morning pics. My measly excuse is that my tootsies liked the warm carpet vs. the concrete to stand on. The heater is cranked and I’m off to enjoy the day drawing.

White Dusting

I had a fun filled morning frolicking around in the snow with the white stuff providing a coating as far as the eye can see. And the forecast says we’re getting more snow through Thursday.

Here’s a few pictures taken early this morning from my yard

We had a very enjoyable weekend ~ spent a little time with friends ~ went shopping ~ snuggled under our cozy little throw while watching a pretty snowfall ~ Watched NASCAR and some football ~ I did get sick Sat evening and by late Sun morning was feeling better. I’ll be starting my week with more drawing in hopes to be finished with the pansy by the end of the week.

My Week In Bullets

I take pleasure of our pretty sunrises out back now that the leaves have fallen. This is the sunrise up over the hill this morning.

The week has been filled with lots of interesting things and I thought I would stop by to share what’s going on.

  • We had a couple more visits with the builder this past week and I think all the kinks are worked out to the point we’re ready to start the foundation. The builder is working on clearing the lot as we speak and it’s just a matter of time for things to start taking shape.
  • We started our 10th annual Christmas Newsletter and I’m happy with the progress so far.
  • I’ve been working on Christmas songs lately and have nearly 700 Christmas songs on my ipod. I love the Holidays so much that I’m already soaking in the Christmas spirit.
  • We were so tired last evening that we went in for a nap at 8:00 pm and slept ‘til morning. I feel like a brand spankin’ new person today.
  • I’m doing really well on the nutrition front in hopes the cholesterol is dropping. The weight continues to drop but I’m more concerned about the cholesterol. I’ll find out next month.
  • Hubby is off to Maryland for the day and I’m finding pleasure in a nice clean home with the laundry and ironing complete. This means I have the day to…

    Here’s wishing all of you a pleasant Thursday.
