wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving. k, the girls(dogs) and i will be going hiking, cooking, strolling, laughing eating and remembering our boys(jacob & porter)

i am grateful to have you here and thought i would share some music.

gathering of things

i love when holiday preparation begins. my mind begins to think about packaging, it's funny to think about it but i always know how i will package items before knowing what the item itself will be. I like making a baking list and pulling out holiday things i have gathered while strolling. I love the simple things and the traditions that i have created. i love changing the garden urns from autumn things to evergreens and berries.. my love for red in the house always helps with the holiday decorating which this year will include my spiral staircase ....i would love to hear your favorite holiday preparation..

Sophie turns one today

i could write how a dog saved my spirit. how she taught me that a broken heart could be fixed, but instead i will show you how she filled my life with love and hope..

like the cold from the inside
