Finding comfort

I am finding more and more comfort in my own home. When I'm home, I never want to leave. Our home is a very low maintenance, organic farmhouse (inside and outside) and it fits our lifestyle perfectly. I am now on vacation for two weeks. Allowing me some down-time with my husband and two wonderful children... where else but ''at home''.

While waiting for our daughter's arrival Friday evening I wrapped christmas gifts.

One of my favorite decoration - very rustic nicely displayed on my driftwood cabinet that my husband made for me 15 years ago.

Saturday morning was so nice and sunny outside. Look at my dormant veggie beds.


Tonight we are in the middle of a snow/freezing rain storm with winds up to 100km/hr. Not a beautiful site out there but it sure is nice and toasty inside.

All four of us spent the entire day together. Did I mention how lucky I am and how much I appreciate my small family. In this picture we had just returned from Frenchy's and needed a small snack to hold us over til supper.

After supper and when everyone was well relaxed and rested we made shortbread cookies. I rolled, Ginette was the cutter and Luc was the baker.


And lastly I want to leave you with a cute picture of Puss.

Hope everyone is keeping warm tonight.
