HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - ODDS AND BODS ON 1-12-25

 It has been a while for one of these, so I thought today would be a good day to do one.

Bundle up, it’s cold out there.



Now…


Well, you are!


Pretty artwork for you…


or you could paint a stone and leave it somewhere so that it will put a smile on the finder’s face.


And now, hello cottage of my dreams.


with a cosy fire to warm me. 


And a lovely bedroom 


Guest Bedroom? Hmmm….I think I will be sleeping on the bottom bunk.


Wise Words


And a word of the day.


Wise Words


I am having a case of Deja vu. 


I don’t think I have shared these before but if I have, hope you enjoy them again. If I had a wooden fence, I know what I would be doing once spring arrived.


How about a little fun with food? Or in this case a cake full of sunshine and sunflowers.


I will be getting the crockpot out soon.  


Rolls would be nice. I think in the instructions it should have said a 9 x 13 inch baking pan instead of 9 x 3 inch. I looked at her pan. What do you think? When I make them, I will amend this comment.


Claury has a great ramble.


And for the ever so slightly mischievous people out there…


No? Then I guess I will just get back to my westerns and drink me some whiskey, or cream soda, or a cup of tea, or whatever comes first. Okay, a cup of tea it is!

Have a great Sunday everyone, and when you have done with all that you have to do today and ride off into the sunset, may your day have been filled with warmth and sunshine.

    If I had a wooden fence, I would surely paint it with these pink flowers! what a huge smile I would have every time I walked outside. I adore the blue pic of the sunflowers in the jar. In fact, I have this very jar! so I now know what I will be doing with it. You surely gave me a word I have never heard before...apricity. I adore the fox and the fox stone!! Same fox and bird on both!!!

    Wonderful post. I love it all. I think I want to go hang out in that cozy cottage of yours. Maybe I'll show up for dinner and we can have some of that yummy crockpot recipe. Those fences are so pretty. I wouldn't mind having one like that around my yard.
