The woods and our first fire

These are the woods behind our new home. Last week it was so beautiful. The leaves were blowing around,looking like a swirling, yellow snowfall. It reminded me of a magic fairyland forest. I love to just be able to look out of my kitchen windows and see this.



Saturday, November 1st, was our first night in the new home. We had no gas, which meant no heat. We decided to have a fire in the fireplace. It was so cozy and peaceful. The picture is a little dark, but you can get a feel for what it was like. Don't you want to come over and share some homemade cookies and hot chocolate?? You're welcome anytime... :)

Hope you all have a happy Wednesday. I've got to unpack, do a mountain of laundry, and hit the fabric store. Fun stuff.
