Come On In By The Fire

































I've come down with a bit of a cold and haven't had the ambition to create anything interesting for my blog. The best I can come up with is a few photos of the nightlights we keep burning day and night during the dark winter months. They add a warm feeling to our home when we most appreciate it.

Oh, and perhaps you'd enjoy seeing a couple of other sources of warmth in our southern Wisconsin home. Since we keep the thermostat dialed down, I use an electric heater in my reading/writing room which in appearance imitates a fire stove while my husband basks in the heat from our wood pellet stove in the family room while he watches TV.

I hope all of you who are experiencing winter weather are keeping warm as well.

Sorry you are down and out with a cold. Makes it worse when it's frigidly cold outside too. Hope you are back in fine writing form soon. Your pictures warm me just seeing the fires and lights! Get better soon!

Parrot Writes: Thank you for stopping in to cheer me up. I'm taking it easy this evening with a good book and a warm blanket.

Enjoy your weekend!

Dee: I've a headache and cough today but I'm still functioning although not as I'd like to be. Thanks for wishing me well. I love those little nightlights. The little bit of light they offer is just enough to cheer me up.

I'm so sorry you've been sick! You stay nice and warm by your fire stove electric heater. Make sure you're all well before pushing yourself fully again.

I love your homey nightlights!

Hope the warmth of your home has made you feel much better! I am sitting in a rather cold basement bundled up in two blankets, still in my jammies at 4 pm, catching up on some blog reading and I was instantly warmed by the beautiful pics in your post. I am going to scroll to them one more time!

Auntie was sorry to read you are not feeling well, at least I know you are very warm and cozy and well taken care of, relax and get well. LOVE

Mary Anne: Your advice is wise. I think I was working out too hard and cutting down on the calories I was consuming at the same time. I knew I was asking for trouble but had to get sick in order to stop me. I'll be more sensible in the future.

Annie: I'm glad to hear you were taking it rather easy today, staying in your jammies. I'm glad my photos warmed you up.

Auntie: Thank you for your concern. With Mom gone, it's nice to have you thinking of and encouraging me.
