Unusual


Because our weather has been so unusual this February it doesn't feel like winter.

There was a bit of chill in the air but it seems more like March than February.






Even though there is no snow - still enjoy a warm cozy meal of old-fashioned bean soup and cornbread with a bit of honey.  Makes a great Sunday lunch.                                                 



I have featured this old shed in my posts quite often.  Amazing how it has withstood blustery winds and wild storms but continues to stand firm.  Hubby has repaired and painted it quite often over the years.  There is not much stored inside but am sure it would be missed by all the little creatures that find refuge underneath.  Last thing that I saw living there was a bunny...perhaps more than one:)!

Certainly makes a wonderful spot for the dogs to sniff around. 



Still working on sketchbook project for the year.  Due to being busy at work and on kitchen renovation had fallen behind.  Did some catching up this afternoon.









Schindler kept me company.  He always looks for a soft spot to rest.  Who says he isn't spoiled!

Well other than the weather being unusual most everything else seems ordinary.

Have a blessed week.

Hugs

Debbie

P.S.  Thank you all for your sweet comments on my previous post.

  1. Your bean soup with cornbread and honey sounds perfect on a cold Winter day. I like that old shed, and it's nice that you keep it around, even if it's for the critters who are freezing during the cold months. I bet the dogs love to roam around the shed to see if there's anything interesting inside. I hope you enjoy the rest of the February days, Debbie. I appreciate your lovely blog posts, if I haven't told you lately. ; )

  8. Rabbits live under my garden shanty too. I filled the space underneath with stones, but the rabbits have found a way to get through them. I click and enlarge your wonderful journal pages so I can enjoy them more.

  9. Winter seems to have taken a holiday...although I did hear "a mix of rain and snow" as an upcoming forecast this week. I love those pages in your sketchbook, especially those little scenes! Enjoy your week!!!

  11. Very unusual weather here too. I am so afraid we will have more "winter" weather and kill all the buds and flowers that have opened way too early. Your sketchbook is beautiful. I love your pretty day bed. No wonder Schindler loves it too.
