If you are in the northwest corner of North America, you may know that this is the month for rain, sleet and snow. This year, however, is going out with a bang in the weather department for us Northwestians. Is it freezing? Yes! Have my chickens taken to pecking the back door to come in and warm up? Yes! Was I pushed down the back porch stairs this morning by a dog slipping out of control across the frost? Yes! But nonetheless, I am SO grateful for the fact that this month has been
MERRY and BRIGHT!
Mr. Pushy... (See, doesn't he look ashamed?)
By the way, he knocked over the CHRISTMAS TREE last year, so I guess better me than the tree?
I mean, my broken limbs will heal...
Where the chickens are meant to be...
Where the chickens are...
More things that I am SO thankful for...
My happy puppies running free in an empty park...
... with a giant stick that is now sitting in our front yard.
My grouchy puppy who is having none of it...
The littles in my family, like this one (who I am realizing is not so little anymore)...
Having the patience, creativity and physical ability to be able to make gifts to give those who are near and dear to me (strawberry sachets!)...
New additions to the family, such as my brother and sister-in-law's new "baby" Hera.
(Not thankful for the blue carpet in the studio though, sorry. Can't do it. )
And, of course, our gorgeous, sparkly Christmas tree!
(Never mind the face in the background. Just focus on the shiny lights!)
So, wherever you are, may your Christmas be MERRY and BRIGHT, no matter the weather.
And may you find the multitude of tiny things to be grateful for this season!
Much (Petal) Love,
Brianne
