Things I find beautiful around the house...

I am so thankful to have all this green in winter!

(Although I wouldn't mind having more...)

One of my dreams one day is to have a greenhouse attached to my house, preferrably the southern facing part. Not only would it be great to grow food and plants indoor during the cold months, but to have the fresh smell and oxygen, as well as the passive solar effect- so heavenly!

We are going to look at a piece of land this weekend, we have been talking about building a house that is more energy efficient. We have a friend who has been helping us with ideas, since he is an energy engineer (I am pretty sure that is not the professional title, but that is what I call him).

It is kind of an exciting prospect!

Today

Today:

-I am daydreaming about our future lives in Maine.

-I am grateful for the love of the sweetest and funniest man I know.

Also today:

-I will snuggle all the animals as hard as I can.

-I will drink endless cups of tea, but will also try to match it with cups of water.

(I have been so bad at that lately!)

-I will smile for no reason... Or maybe there will be a silent reason, who knows.

-I will appreciate the sunshine, especially how it filters beautifully through green leaves in the windows.

-I will not worry so much about what I haven't gotten done and focus on what I have.

-I will read, sketch and knit.

What will you do today?

Share what you love

Sometimes I look around and notice something small that I love, think is beautiful, inspires me, or just think looks really cool. Today I was noticing the jar holding a spider plant in water and you can see all the roots and thought, that is such a beautiful photo. From there I was inspired to walk around the house a little more and notice what else I thought was beautiful or interesting.

I thought I would share these photos with you.

If you feel like it, I would love to see what you see around you that is inspiring, beautiful or picturesque!

Just playing around...

...with my new camera.

I got the Canon SX30.

I wanted something that could do a bit of macro,

but I am still learning about it.

Anyone heard of anything about this camera or know anyone who has it?

I would be interested to hear how they like it...
