Yay for rain!

I especially love raining, damp days when I have no where to go, no pressing things to tackle and can stay nice and comfy in my pj's all afternoon. Today just so happens to be one of those days. Cinnamon and I did our morning business before the real dampness set in, now she's nice and cozy curled up on the couch. (She is spoiled I am well aware ;) Roscoe is sitting in the window sill watching the rain drops.

So what's a girl to do all afternoon under such conditions? Well, I made myself a hot cup of French Vanilla coffee to ward off the dampness. This is one of my faaaavorite mugs. It says "Family Gatherings". Sorry the picture is a bit blurry, I really don't have a steady hand.

Then I lit some candles. I loooove the Country Apple waffer candles from Time&Again. I used to be able to find them anywhere, now not so much. I love this little diffuser, even though the rabbit seems to be acting a little inapropriate towards the squirrel ;)



I also lit this little guy. The smell is also Country Apple. I don't particularly like competing smells to much.


So, I have a yummy cup of flavored coffee, two scented candles burning and two content furbabies snoozing away. The only thing left for me to do is crack open a good book! I am currently on my second novel of the 7 trilogy from Nora Roberts. I looooooove them. The first one is called "Blood Brothers", the one I am currently reading is called "The Hollow" and the final one is called "The Pagan Stone".



You know the best part? I bought the first book with a gift card I received for Christmas. The second I received 20% off the cover price because it was on sale. The third book I got scot free because our complex has a library(ish) system. You donate any books you've already read, or no longer need and then you pick up any book off the shelves. It's a fabulous idea!!

So I am off to delve into the world of mystery and lore. I hope in your neck of the woods you're enjoying your day.

First timer...

Hi All!

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Marcia. I have enjoyed reading everyone's blogs for awhile now so I finally decided to dip my toe into the blogging pool.

I have no real idea of what I am doing so please excuse me as I make myself acquainted. ;)

I welcome any hints or tools of the trade and would love to hear any comments you may have. (Please be gentle as I am still a newbie ;) I shamelessly admit I have an affinity towards smiley faces. ;)

Anywho, here are some pictures that I've taken around the area of our first spring in our new home.

Daffodils springing up in March is a first for me!




The ducks were also enjoying the mild temps!



Here's my handsome hubby with one of our furry babies, Cinnamon.

I love this picture, its so serene and a bit spooky all in one!


That's it for now. I hope it wasn't to painful. ;)
