A little corner in the den.
Yet another TBR pile, including a book by Andy Weir that Deb sent, and another book written by the daughter of a longtime blog friend, Chevy in the Hole.
I moved the aqua McCoy vase in here when I was setting up the putz house village and I haven’t moved it back. I’m enjoying it in this corner. I didn’t plan it this way but Wren and Lily seem to be color-coordinated with the house and the vase and the blue bottle.
It’s a quiet week here at the cottage, which suits us fine. The extremes in the weather have impacted my troublesome sinuses. I’m just now feeling better as we hurtle into more extremes; temperatures in the fifties. Last week, wind chills well below zero, drips from the faucet to keep the pipes from freezing. This week and next, positively balmy weather. Go figure.
We watched the Kennedy Center Honors last night. Beautiful. We always feel uplifted by this testament to the power of the arts – to lives dedicated not only to the arts, but often to service, as well. It was just what we needed. Both of us have spent our entire adult lives in the arts. It certainly isn’t easy and the pay isn’t always great, but I can’t imagine doing anything else.
Other than that, my friends, I’m going to finish a book this morning because…you guessed it…another one just arrived at my local library. I’m stacked up and holding. I have to search for coconut cream to make the Linzer Tart Cookies. I have to buy caulk for the bathtub. Things like that. Not very exciting, but that’s just fine. Soon enough, I’ll be commuting into the city for Darko’s project.
Stay safe.
Happy Thursday.
Your corner is lovely. The girls look so cute on the porch! And I love seeing your bookstack! Lots of good reading hours in store for you!
We’re going back into the warm zone, too — 50s this weekend. If we don’t all end up with bad colds after this up and down, our immune systems are a lot better than we think they are!
Enjoy the In-between days!
I know, the weather is crazy! Sigh.
Stay safe, Jeanie.
All that lovely aqua-blue (sometimes almost comes over as a serene sea green) struck me this morning as really calm and clean for the new year. Eye-catching photo with the girls.
Thanks, Vicki.
Stay safe.
Enjoy your reading- feel
Better
Almost the new year…I can’t believe it and I know those are mundane words. Difficult to believe I moved here two years ago in May. I haven’t traveled since Covid but a trip planned for college graduation and home
School graduation in spring. Grands
Glad you are starting a new project. You will be in your element.
Thanks so much, Brenda.
Stay safe.
that all sounds and looks good. glad you can enjoy all of it, even an errand to get caulk for the bathtub. and can follow it with reading and a slice of apple pie. :)

I do, too. My sister takes all of Christmas down and cleans thoroughly. She likes a clean start to the New Year.
Stay safe.
Your color coordinated corner really does look fresh and calming! Gray and rainy day here… perfect for a good book! I was able to sneak in a quick walk…cold, but it felt good…Enjoy your books!
I will. I just finished my latest and when I get back from errands, I’ll start the Michael Connelly.
Stay safe, Barrie.
