Keeping Busy

There was a sprinkling of snow overnight leaving a white carpet of white over the ground.  There is a little sparkle here and there and a twinkle as the sun catches some ice that has formed over the wet ground.  Jack Frost has spread his fingers and left quite the trail behind him.

As the day continues there has been a few more flakes of snow added here and there.  The temperatures have plummeted leaving a crunchy ice, making the roads quite treacherous.  We are blessed that the gritters have been out along the main road in front of our little cottage.  However we are thankful that we don't need to go anywhere.

I have filled my day sharpening my coloured pencils and working on my Bible.  I Have an Inspire Bible for Creative Journaling which I enjoy.

More pages of my Christmas scrapbook have been worked on and finally both Gerard and I worked together on a jigsaw puzzle.  The stove has been blazing all day so it does feel quite warm in here.  I will be working on the border of Bertie's blanket so that will keep my warm this evening.  Sadly, the film night that we planned to attend this evening has been cancelled due to the inclement weather  and road conditions. 

We have a beautiful bunch of tulips on the dining table to brighten our day.  A gentle reminder that Spring is on the way and very soon there will be a wondrous array of colour as the moor once more comes to life.  There are signs here and there already of the promise to come with daffodils starting to emerge through the frozen ground.

We have already sorted through the seeds that we have available and started to plan and extend the herb garden.  There are more tyres in the outbuilding that we can use it is nice to have a few plans and I must admit half the fun is in the planning.  Have you started planning the garden and browsing seed catalogues yet?

See you soon.
