A bit of January.
Full of things that have never been.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
It’s very, very cold outside right now. The wind has been
blowing hard all night, making it even colder.
I’m curled up on the couch; I have a big pot of P.G Tips
made, and am sipping on a cup as I type.
Lately I've had a bit of a burst of energy and have been trying to get
some deep cleaning done. Today, besides the usual house cleaning and dish
washing, I cleaned the kitchen cupboards
out, washed the insides, and then reorganized everything.
Before all the cleaning I took a gigantic turkey we have had
thawing for the past few days, slathered it in bacon fat, salt and pepper,
added potatoes, onions, and carrots, and
popped everything in the oven. It’s starting to send delicious smells
throughout the house.
A bit of exciting news around here—we finally got some fish
for our tank {that has been sitting empty for several months}! We currently have a total of six residents
swimming about; Belinda, Marshmallow, Mollie, Dum, Dee and Spot.
Now that all the holiday busyness is over, I’m looking
forward to start knitting/ sewing some baby things, and preparing for Baby’s
arrival-only 4 more months! Time really is flying by.
Later, I have plans to wander over to the library {what a
joy that it is right across the street!}, and order in a stack of books and
movies to keep me company as we prepare for the long, cold days of January.
Looks lovely! I hope this means we will be hearing from you more often! I pray for a happy and safe pregnancy for you. What a blessing! Christina

Stay warm!
