Winter Blues

January is over...
but the snow is not.


These are my 2026 Winter displays.




My mom sewed this pillow up for me 
years ago...and I will treasure forever.


Here in the North, most of the horses will
be sporting their outdoor blankets.
I decided to give mine a wool blanket too.


I kept the tree up and just took down
all of the mittens.


I like to keep up my living room tree
through January.
We spend our evenings here with
a fire in the fireplace most nights.
It is very cozy in the long Winter nights.


This snow fella my dad made and I bring
him out each Winter too.


Once again I took off all of the ornaments.
Just left the icicles on.
So simple and magical at night.


I adore this lil pillow too...but not handmade.


Brought out my Beemis Snowman.


I had a pair of socks I was going to throw away.
They had holes in them...
but decided to wash one and it fit perfectly
on his head. 


Back in 2024 I crocheted him a hat 
out of brown yarn.
Which one do you like?

In other news,
We went back to the grocery store
for more food.
I inquired about the cashier.
Was told she is alright and was actually
working that night later on.
She passed out because she had not eaten.
I sure hope she takes care of herself.

Yesterday we had more snow.
Phil the PA groundhog saw his shadow...
but the Canadian groundhog 
Wiarton Willie predicted
an early Spring.
I am going with his prediction

Am taking Bob in this morning
for an MRI.
He has been having daily headaches.
Hoping nothing major is going on.

The county we live in is running out
of salt for the roads. EGAD
I hope we dont get much more snow....
however it snowed again yesterday.
Snowing right now too. UGH

Winter Blue Blessings To All!
Janie

  3. As a kid I had a horse statue collection and would have given anything to have that pull toy to add. I also like the sock. Hope MRI gives good answers.

  6. I like the Canadian prediction too, but I have a feeling their groundhog was wrong. Our MI groundhog also predicted 6 more weeks of winter. :(
    Glad the cashier is doing ok.
    I like your winter trees and snowmen.
    Praying Bob's MRI comes out good.

  7. I am so glad you keep a tree up too. I feel less alone! My big one is down but I moved one about six feet tall but skinny into the living room and put my woodland ornaments on it so it is all birds and deer, snowflakes and leaves. And I have snowfolk around the house. I need the sparkly lights. I love every single touch in your beautiful home. As for winter, I feel like if we get out of this in six weeks, we'll be lucky. It's grim!

  8. I actually like the sock cap, the best! I always love your decorations. I'm glad the cashier is well. I hope the MRI will reveal the,cause of Bob's headaches and that it is nothing serious.

  9. Janie, this year was the first time I left my tree up most of January! It really kept it cozy and lighter to me! I needed it this year! That glimmer of light and hope. I absolutely LOVE your decor!!
