I love the bright colors of the oranges, and their sweet flavor this time of year is nothing short of amazing! I'm sorry you had such a rough week or two at school. Teaching is exhausting just in itself, but to carry another's load, oh my. Bless your heart! Hoping the weekend of relaxing has helped. We are enjoying several rounds of snow here today, much better than rain, although the snow is really not sticking. Still, it's lovely! I am all for finding reasons to stay cozy :) Hugs to you today dear friend!

They might have been a few inches away on my desk, the way the scene jumped out at me. You are a good woman to pattern oneself after, in making winter cozy and bright.

We are having a very mild winter so far this year, so I feel like I'm on vacation in a different state. It seems the east coast is getting all the cold and snow. It's nice not to have to shovel lots of snow!

It is indeed exciting to see things pushing through the ground. And candles and twinkling lights save the day for me in January and February.

I have no idea what sleeping in means, and one day I may get to find out. I thought I would when I retired, but my 3 dogs don't know how to tell time...every morning it is wake up time by 5:00 AM.

I crave colour as well and in the short days of January there are pops of colour here and there through the house. I wrote about the colours of our very cold January skies today and hope to link up with Mosaic Monday but everything I try to relearn is such a challenge.
