fat little quail wading through drifts on their way to the feeder~

I have a lot that I want to do while chilly January days are slow and quiet here on our farm.
One thing is to play with my house and the little house where I make my dollies...
both "she's" are asking for something different and I'm ready.
I can't wait to see what's on their minds.

I hope that you are all keeping snug and letting love and laughter be just what the doctor ordered.
What are you doing this quiet January?

Oh goodness, these photos are just gorgeous and capture the peace and beauty of a winter's day. I can imagine you snug in your little house sewing dollies while it snows outside! We've yet to have any snow... I'm hoping to learn to embroider this winter. And tomorrow is little girl's school day so I'm anxiously awaiting some painting time....
Just lovely Christine. It makes me feel very calm when I visit your blog. I want to stay for a bit and just breathe.
WOW, that last photo tugs at my heart. They all are wonderful!
Such awesome and beautiful pictures .... You live in a heavenly place ! I,too...am reworking my home a bit.... enjoy playing with yours , dear friend.
and isn't it so funny that a quail would rather wade through drifts than fly a bit? I keep coming back to look at that picture of your banner...besides being a really wonderful composition, it must also draw me in because it is my home, too :)
Your parlour looks so peaceful and serene dear as I knew it would.
Now that a new year is upon us(and the very best wishes for a wonderful 2011) we seem to take heed of things we'd like to change.
One thing I would never want to change is visiting the gifted creator of those lovely little dollies...

How beautiful....and you captured it so well.
We have the rain today but it does make me want to nestle in and "play house", and browse through my old magazines, or read that book I've been trying to get to.

Your farmhouse is magical! I shall imagine your your fine ladyes discussing poetry, needlework, and neighbourhood stories round the tea table.
Wishing you a most lovely winter afternoon!
Warmly...Judy
I agree with previous comments. Your new banner is fabulous and the winter photos are so peaceful and contemplative. This is just how this hushed, frosted season always makes me feel and you capture it so well.
I'm trying to enjoy my indoor projects before the garden wakes up and lures me out. But feeding the sheep twice a day is really a gift. I'm outdoors at sunrise and sunset and there's always something to marvel at.
Projects? I'm all about knittng two-color Norwegian mittens lately. Glad my first pair is done as it's getting colder!
Best to you-
Your pictures are breathtaking!
