Random Photo's And A Surprise From France

Our weather has been cold and breezy

so we have been home-bound

and only go out when

 we absolutely

have to.

Horses, chickens and barn cats etc

are about the only things that

make us brave

the cold.

I'm sure my family up in Canada

is snickering over this ;)

Because of the cold I haven't ventured

outside much to take photo's

so I decided to post

some of the random

inside photo's I've taken 

over the past couple of years.

Before I do that though I'd like

to show you what was in a parcel 

I received last week. 

It came all the way from

FRANCE

and was a gift from my wonderful 

Blogging friend

Catherine

She is a real sweetheart.

In the parcel was a lovely French

sugar canister

A heavy linen dish towel

And some delicious hard candy made in

the village near where Catherine lives.

Here's another look at the canister.

~ Thank you Catherine! ~

I absolutely love every thing

and I have sampled the candy

and it is delicious!

:)

Above and below are photo's

I have taken around the cottage. 

I know most of you have 

seen a good number of these photo's

or similar ones

sorry...I hope you don't mind 

me showing them again.

I hope the weather where you are

isn't too bad and that you are

able to get outside

and enjoy the

winter.

COME ON SPRING!

:)
