friday i'm in love....a snow-stormy edition

February 17, 2023 Arlene Giddings

it’s messy mix of winter here today…
and i am embracing it
completely…
warm, cozy pjs,
hot chocolate,
maybe a hot bath,
storm chips on standby,
a half finished book
ready to be read
while tucked in with a
knit blanket, a pug and 3 cats….

i’ve got nowhere to be
and nothing to do
except watch the snow fall
and accept february for being
february…

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:

♥ feb 15 was national gumdrop day….and
i was more excited about that than i was for valentine’s day…
i frigging love gumdrops.

♥ that dude’s older than cheerios ♥♥♥

♥ winter self care tips…these made me happy

♥ i am not going lie I WILL HAVE THESE.

♥ some wintery photos i took last weekend
while just out singing in the car…seeing what i could see

Wherever you are,
I hope you are safe & happy & warm…
full of gumdrops and grace…
and remember,
we are past the halfway mark for February…
the days are getting longer, spring is coming closer…
we’re getting there.
♥♥♥

slow, snowy sunday...

March 1, 2020 Arlene Giddings

It was a slow, snowy sunday
at the big orange house.
There were naps taken
and yoga, bullet journalling and
a fair amount of shovelling.

In attempt to “embrace winter”
I took a quick walk to the park
to catch some snowfall photos…
and on the way back,
I decided today was the day
to make a snow angel…

snow angel. not a very good photo. but a snow angel regardless. :)

how naps are taken in the big orange house…

Then when I got back to the house,
I realized my neighbor was out shoveling her driveway
so I went over to say hi and introduce myself
and only realized after the fact
that I was wearing pink plaid pj pants
with pink polka dot rubber boots
and was COMPLETELY covered in snow…
you know…from the snow angel making…
and the very first thing I said to her was
”I lOVE THAT YOU BUILT A SNOWMAN!!”

Sigh.

Happy snowy, sweet, slow Sunday.

at a standstill & a bit of a snapshot of my week...

March 29, 2015 Arlene Giddings

i feel like i have been at a bit of a standstill...
since i started working the new website,
i have been ignoring the blog.
i have been thinking about it
but i keep thinking i have to wait
until the website is finished before i use it....
and i'm not really sure that is true.

plus...i am missing it.

i have still been taking my daily shots for my 365 project...
so far i have taken a photo a day for 79 out of 88 days.

and a lot of them involve snow, as you can see below :)

there have other things going on in my life as well
but the snow...well...it's slightly overwhelming :)
i am totally looking forward to spring!

check out my instagram feed if you would like to see more of our winter...
or more of pugsley...heeheehee...
there's always a shot or 12 thrown in of the slightly spoiled pug!
