February Pastimes

The long, cold days of February are filled with various and sundry activities.. just thought I'd share a tad about what I've been up to!

I must admit that one thing I really enjoy is Face Book games, especially Farm Town~ I get a real kick out of meeting and chatting with folks from all over, the UK, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi, even Thailand.

Actually, through a Farm Town acquaintance, I developed a real interest in the county of Yorkshire through reading Herriot's book.. which is one of the best books I've ever read!

Bible study holds a prominent place in my routine...I love this new book we're studying in our Wednesday group`actually written by our teacher.

and when I just cant stand the thought of snow for another moment... I get out the easel and work on my springy oil painting.

as you can see... lots to go there!! But I'm never too busy to drop everything and go meet my buds for coffee or breakfast out.... or perhaps the tea room.... now that is an idea!!!

However... this is our reality!

No sense to put away the snowmen!

The garden will remain forgotten for a while longer...

The house will still remain in a state of chill...

The light diffuses warmly across the dreary spaces...

The teapot and my novel call out to me!
