It was such a beautiful day the other day so I wen It was such a beautiful day the other day so I went out in the yard for a little walk around.  The fight to get ample vitamin D is real around here.  So happy to see that my shed window box is holding strong.⁣

Since we have been in lockdown for what it seems l Since we have been in lockdown for what it seems like forever, we have been looking for ways to change things up.  Hubby put on the heater to warm-up the screened in porch and we headed out to enjoy our morning coffee. We did have to put on our woolies and admittedly was a lot of effort.  But it was really nice to have a change of venue.  It is also nice for hubby and I to take our coffee breaks together and just chat. ⁣

I deflowered the Christmas wreath so that it is a little more simple to last through the winter.  It has been so sunny and beautiful out.  My daughter was out snowshoeing.⁣

Happy Monday friends. I know it is Blue Monday an Happy Monday friends.  I know it is Blue Monday and boy do I feel it, but thankfully it is a bright sunny day here. Meet our guest host for #thatdecorlife who is all sunshine. Cassie of @coasta_cass lives near Wilmington on the coast of North Carolina. She started her account as a creative outlet to help manage stress. When Hurricane Florence hit in 2018, they sustained significant damage and decided to remodel as they repaired.  The result is a bright and sunlit home. It is fun to watch as they put on the finishing touches.⁣

This is all I’ve got today. 25 cm on its way, st This is all I’ve got today. 25 cm on its way, stay at home order. I guess today I will purge my paper  along with @christinestarfish  and the organizational challenge. #snowday #organization #organizedhome #paperpurge #realhousesofcanada #chilledhomevibes #chilledhome #purging #purgingclutter
This week in the #christinestarfish organizational This week in the #christinestarfish organizational challenge, the task is to clean up your office paperwork area.  Well we now have two home offices and I am actually using neither.  I sit at my desk when I am using the mouse to draw, but mostly I am on a couch.  In order to contain my mess I am using what I call an office in a box.  I fit my planner, notebooks, laptop, ipad, chargers and other bits and pieces in this box with handles.  This way when I am finished working I can put everything in this box and stow it away.  This is also good idea for people that don’t have an office or due to the covid situation, need more workspaces.  I find this really helps to keep things organized. ⁣

But I am going with it for now.  Our province is now sending stay at home alerts using the loud missing child alert message.  I am not going anywhere. ⁣

I cherish this painting by my late Aunt Coyla and the snow scene the works perfectly in our family room in the winter.  I have been foraging and have branches in every room.  What else is there to do when our province is in a state of emergency and must stay home for what seems like forever?⁣

I managed to raise three kids, but a plant mama I I managed to raise three kids, but a plant mama I am not.  I killed the tree that I had in this front window before so I am not sure that moving this plant here was a wise decision.  This plant has brown on the tips of the leaves.  I don’t know what that means. Does it need more sun or more water? Help a bad plant mama out please?⁣
