Warm

Hi again!
I am sitting here in the dark writing this, with the only light being that from my dying fire and my dying computer.  
You see the gales of November are upon us here in Michigan and that means that not only is it approaching the winter season but it also means that it is power-outage season in my neck of the world.
We live in the woods and well, you know.
So I have been trying to keep warm by finding lovelies on Pinterest. :)





















and just for fun.....






How YOU doin'?


So I hope you have a wonderful weekend and stay warm, maybe one or all of these will help.
 I know some of the areas of the US are getting hit pretty hard with some nasty weather and hopefully you are not sitting in the dark as well.
Hopefully the power is back on by the time this posts.
Although it is kind of peaceful for now. :)

Hugs!!!

    LOL! That made me smile! Love me some Ryan Reynolds! Such a cutie! My favorite movie of his is "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock! They were so cute together in that movie & Betty White was hysterical! If you haven't seen it, its a must see!!

    Hahahaha...honestly that put a smile on my face too. The last pic was a good idea. Very in fact. Know what I mean? I'm sitting in a cold, dreary blue and white editorial office cubicle which is shabby but not chic. Just shabby. Like moss green. Not ruffles.

    Cozy photos, all of them. Glad you are keeping warm. I have yet to venture into Pinterest...I just have not had time and I know I will need plenty to explore. Our weather is lovely even if it is cold. But I have come down with a cold. First one in years so I shan't complain. Just sets me back in schedule. Maybe this is a good time to check out Pinterest.

    Ha! I really loved the little kitten pic until I got to the last one of course ;)

    At least you're having a good time with your computer while you can! Perhaps a generator should be in your future?

    Michelle, I really can't complain here where I live, but for a few years we did live in Illinois and I have to say, since then...I havn't really been cold. Those winters made me realize what cold really is. So, here's a few warm hugs I'm sending your way...thank you for the inspirational photos, tami

    Loving that last photo!! You made me laugh with the "How you Doing?". Love your blog and I can't wait to visit your past posts!
    I'm a little jealous that your able to enjoy a fire where you are. In So Cal, we don't have much need for a fire, but it always makes me think of winter.
    Hope you have a lovely day.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda

    I smiled and felt warmed by the cozy sweaters. I began to warm even more next to that fire (it needs a couch or something to lay down on in front of it). I melted when I saw the kittens, then I burst into flames when I saw Ryan...or maybe that was just a hot flash...excuse me, I need to go take a cool shower.

    I heard on the news that some areas of Mi. were without power.. sorry to hear you are one of them. It sure was cold here today in Grand Haven. Time to start making some cozy fires in the hearth. And I need to go buy some long underware. Brrrrrrrr!
    light some candles, drink some cocoa and stay warm.

    Michelle- Keep warm!

    I do know what you mean by the glow of the computer screen. My in-laws live "in the woods" and once the power conked out and we opened the laptops for the nice glow way before we found any candles! Ha ha!

    Sadly, batteries do die down. Hang in there!

    I saw that cute little pile of kittens and thought I'd love to have those....then, I saw the next picture and thought MmmmMmmm. Wouldn't you like to cozy up to him in front of a fire...with some kittens too, of course. Ryan Reynolds is so delicious.

    lol - all images to warm things up. We got your weather last night over here further east...but we stayed south of tornado warnings, just some high winds and tons of rain.

    Not a fan of winter at all, especially when the snow hits us but I do love warm sweaters and hot drinks.

    The wind is wild outside right now, so this post is just great. My definition of cold is probably a little different from a lot of people (anything below 70 is freezing!), but it feels like it's time to curl up with a blanket and a book. I think I'm ready for some tea! Oh, and I do believe winter was invented for sweaters, and not the other way around ;)
