I love the wintry months after Christmas, when life is at a slower pace. I like to catch up on reading, crochet, sewing, and always making soups and baking.

I also love January, especially if I am able to remain indoors (which I definitely wouldn't do if I lived where you do!) and just enjoy the quiet and the fresh start to a new year. Sadly, I'm so busy with responsibilities that I haven't yet had a moment to sit and ponder the new year's goals.

I love your tea mug. I've not seen one like that with a cover. I'm afraid I'll be hibernating inside on the coldest of days this winter but hope to get out snowshoeing or walking on packed trails on the milder days. I'm working on a puzzle right now. It's been years and it's frustrating. :) Have a great week Lorrie.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-8539961198751208872016-01-04T17:45:07.970-08:002016-01-04T17:45:07.970-08:00Simply lovely photos - the world is stark but beau...Simply lovely photos - the world is stark but beautiful in January. I have plans to renew my interest in watercolor painting and sketching. I've been wanting to do it for some time now. This is the month to get started - I have some classes in mind already. I like the feeling of the slowness and peace of January - and look forward to spring bursting out in all its glory - but I can wait - I love the quiet times too.

I am pondering the painting of our kitchen/dining room. It will be a big job for my hubby as I can no longer do it myself. But I will supervise. :) I do have some decluttering to do. You live in a beautiful area, Lorrie. We have never gotten over to Vancouver Island yet. If we ever make it out to BC again to visit our son and his family we will have to try to do that.

Loving the close up shots you're getting with your new lens.<br /> We've got our first snowfall & I wanted to capture it falling so badly, but by the time I got dressed to go outdoors & had my camera, it had stopped. Not much on the ground...not that I'm complaining!!<br /><br />Like many of your commenters, I've slowed my pace as well, & am enjoying the process of packing away Christmas & getting out the snowmen.
