Scout’s happy.

That girl loves snow.

I’m happy because there is no shoveling needed!

Have a wonderful day.

    Merry Christmas Claudia! I love your snow. I live near Seattle and they keep threatening we will be getting some this morning. It is beautiful though. May your Christmas bring you blessings of the day and I wish you and Don health, joy, peace, love and more work than you can do in the New Year. I will be reading your blog. Tana xoxox

    Merry Christmas, and lucky you with the snow. We have a small amount too and it sure brightens up the place. Tired of all the dead brown grass. I love snow:)

    I love the photo of the little red shed against the snow. It’s so pretty! I wish it was at least cool here (it’s in the 70’s and humid) so seeing this snow was refreshing.

    Although I’m also jealous! :p It really is beautiful. Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas Dear Claudia!

    I’m jealous of your snow. Here in Dallas we are having thunderstorms for Christmas morning. In spite of that I am having a pleasant morning, just me and the carols on the radio so I am thinking of you, Don and Scout this morning. May you all have a great day today even though you aren’t in the same space. So sure you’re together in your hearts.

    Christmas Blessings,

    Cassandra

I hope you are having a good day and know that you are being sent many good wishes. You are so warm, personable and down to earth and that really comes through on your blog.

    Merry Christmas Claudia and Scout. We had snow flurries yesterday here in Va. but nothing to amount to anything. It was pretty though.
    I love the red shed. So pretty surrounded by the snow.
    My daughter loves her purple scarf that you made..
    Have an enjoyable day.

    Oh how lovely! We had a light dusting of Christmas snow as well. Thankfully, it vanished by the end of the day but it served its purpose and made Christmas morning magical. Hoping you and Scout had a beautiful day together, pondering the blessings of Christmas. xxx

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.

Scout & Riley. Riley left us in 2012. Scout left us in February 2016. Dearest babies. Dearest friends.
