I felt like jumping the gun the other day when I purchased strawberry plant and something that looks like a poppy, not sure exactly what the root is now since it's not in front of me. <br />Red is a color favorite of mine to along with purple. Beautiful sweaters your daughter made for you and the wool would be so good to wear on these chilly and some downright cold nights. <br />I like the red walls in your room and that secretary is something I am looking for, for my living room..<br />Stay warm as Wednesday we are supposed to get a mix in Ashland of rain and snow, it's what I last heard anyway. <br />One day warm, the next cold or pneumonia weather as our Mothers called it. <br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285774814387516190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-68674964883570192622019-02-17T21:18:16.377-05:002019-02-17T21:18:16.377-05:00What a shame you can't wear wool, Judy!

OMG ... what a beautiful knitter your daughter Noel is ... How very sweet that she culls her creativity caring for her mom ... It's a whole beautiful wardrobe of warmth . I believe that your mother was right about the pneumonia season ... because I get it every February. <br />I'm so enjoying the glimpses into your lovely home... Your living room is so full of warmth and charm, not to mention comfort. The Champagne colored Depression glass is one of my favorites, although it's becoming very hard to find now-a-days. Washing glassware can be a chore, but oh what a joy to use and admire ... Some of us somehow belong to an older Edwardian or Victorian age( ha ha) Those lamykin shakers are perfect little harbingers for Spring... They give us ' HOPE' during the long winter months.... How exciting to be pruning the roses already...Thanks for sharing all the lovely pictures... <br />Please do have a Happy Valentine's Day, Dear Friend...xoxoxox<br />Zaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200864540547799033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-13791983999780997762019-02-13T03:36:35.462-05:002019-02-13T03:36:35.462-05:00I love the red shawl your daughter knitted for you...I love the red shawl your daughter knitted for you.

We packed all that up over a yr ago in bins from the china cabinet so she could have the living room/dining area painted. We never got around to putting that stuff back up for her cause she could not decide what she wanted to display. Kitchen looks like a great place to sit and enjoy that tea!

A beautiful sky photo too. After all the chilly weather it was a real pleasure to go out in just a sweater the other day, and even that was a bit too hot for me.

As a child I had an aunt that would make us a sweater that she gifted each of us at Christmas. Of course we didn't understand how much work they are to make but I know we always appreciated them. I find I don't regulate my body heat quite as well as I used to so putting on a sweater always helps take the chill off. I need to get at my china cabinet and clean everything. A good thing to do in the winter! Hope you've been feeling better.
