A witchy day...

I remember, when we were living at the house in the roses how confused I used to feel when people referred to December 21st as being the first day of winter; forgetting that we were already deep in the 3rd month of truly cold wintery days by then… here in the South I finally got to realize that winter does indeed starts at the end of the year.  


Ah yes, Father Winter looked down at us from way up there where he sits in his glacial northern throne last night, and decided he should remind us that he’s still king of the January land… even here in the south…


Our pond got solid iced… so pretty.


Ready for a witches game of broom-ball! Anyone?  
 It gets in your blood you know!


Ah but such beautiful, delightful blessed sunshine… 
My little white cottage is a nugget of sunshine everyday at nine AM… 
a faultless pearl in the sea where I am the absolute irrefutable Mermaid Queen


And princess of my days...


I am so blessed and, amazed at what has transpired in my life in the last few years… that I can stay home and enjoy my little life as it is, in my solitude, in my peaceful surroundings and quiet ways with no ogres to have to obey or endure it truly is amazing to me.

Oh an ogre yes yes… have I not mentioned it?  One day long long ago when we were living at the house in the roses I used to work at The Three Broomsticks.  If you don’t know what that is, it is an inn and pub in the all wizarding village of Hogsmeade.  Yeap, that very village in Harry Potter's.  I surely did worked there once!  My ogre-like being boss used to fly his Hogstick all day long; spinning around like the crazy Hippogriff that he was…  I’m still waiting to see him flyin’ off from a cliff one day… na na na ma ma ny na na ny na

My goodness I’m feeling so witchy today… and happy!  Happy too, because happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else’s approval…

Happy day to you my friend!

  1. I guess my first comment did not go through. I was asking about your tablecloth and runner. Did you make them? I really like how it looks. It is -15 here in Michigan and getting colder. Where in the South are you? Keep warm!

    1. Oh no I didn’t make them… I so wish I knew how to sew. My secret: The white tablecloth is a second hand store king side bed skirt, the burlap table runner is from Pottery Barn—a little pricey, but it was a gift from my husband. You can actually buy natural burlap at Hobby Lobby for a very reasonable price. They also carry the pretties of burlap and lace table runner – only $19.99. The vintage white crochet table runner was also another thrift store find. I love it.

      Keep warm!

    1. Susan I have a feeling that many of us kindred spirits had worked in a place like that with people like that at one point or another in our lives. It is hard for highly sensitive people like us to thrive when the world overwhelms us…

  5. What a pretty winter view out the window Cielo! I had no idea that it got that cold anywhere in the southern U.S. Your little garden fairy needs to put on a sweater before she gets the sniffles!
