I decided to write about my passion for gardening past, present and future. I have been ill suffering with Lyme Disease since May 2003 but at last after long term antibiotic treatment getting my life back and can again enjoy my garden.
The weather is unpredictable here but it is milder then usual.
ReplyDeleteHope you stay warm and cozy!

I remember that feeling last winter. This winter is the exact opposite. Maybe some of your snow can head this way? :) Hope it warms up a bit.
ReplyDeleteJulie I totally concur! Enough is Enough ... only I have months to go! What a fabulous fireplace!
ReplyDeleteThe fire looks so cozy. Cozy up with a spring flower catalogue. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you Joanne - a fire is so much better to nestle up to than a radiator on a cold night :)
ReplyDeleteVery wise of you to stay by that warm fire. We have loads of snow as well...
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
How warm and cozy it looks, Joanne. We don't have a fireplace in our current house, we should have put one in, could have, should have. Yours is lovely. :-)

I feel the same Joanne, after having snow pretty much for the past two or three weeks I'm well and truly fed up with it now and am praying for rain tonight to wash away the nightmare!
ReplyDeleteMy cold hands are already feeling warmer just by looking at your fire. Keep warm :-)
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to grow bored of the snow. Have enough work for working at home tomorrow but Friday, if things dont change, will either have to take a days leave or try to get to work what a bind.
ReplyDeleteSorry Joanne, I can sure understand how you feel though. After last winter I didn't even want to see the little we got so far this year. Hope it slows down for ya. Your fireplace picture sure is beautiful if that's any consolation. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJoanne, a cosy fireplace in a cottage in the middle of winter. This I have never experience before. How I wish.....
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about winter - a nice fire in the hearth. Yours looks very welcoming. We may get some snow tomorrow - a rare event. An inch will close the schools, shut down the highways, and sell all the milk and bread within a hundred mile radius!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'm a bit fed up now!! Bridesmaid on Friday.....bbbrrrrrrr!!!
ReplyDeleteI entirely agree, though in our case it's a wood-burning stove (atop which I have simmering this morning's porridge) Roll on summer!
ReplyDeleteIts alright Joanne... do sit beside the fireplace, and when you get tired of it, do get out and enjoy the snow.. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteYour fire looks so inviting. Living where we do, we do not have a fire place. We use a radiant heat heater and it works great in our little cottage. Just keep thinking that each day brings you closer to spring, and pretty soon it will be here.

Joanne! Sorry for changing your name! A slip of the keys and my tired brain! Well I got to see your warm glowing fire in that jaw dropping fireplace. ;) carol
ReplyDeleteLovely warm fire! Can imagine the heat radiating out from it!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Beth is such a smart gal, knows exactly how to behave in front of the camera!!
As for snow . . . ours should be gone sometime in April, till then I have 2 thick seed catalogues to peruse and dream what I should plant in the garden or get started in the house so the instant it is warm enough I can transplant it outside. Guess I should build a greenhouse, and follow your footsteps!
Joanne, lovely fire, but I'm feeling drowsy watching it. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, there! Love your blog, and your fireplace! Snow, cold, fire -- the three go together so well! And hang in there -- spring IS on the way. My mother-in-law (gone now for many years) had a little rhyme which I always found encouraging:
ReplyDeleteI heard a bird sing in the dark of December.
We are nearer to spring than we were in September.
True, dat!
