One more book in the Shetland series 'Wild Fire' is being released here in September--I expect its already 'out' in England.<br />I've been feeling nostalgic about the farmhouses I remember--unpretentious, well kept, welcoming, but certainly not over decorated or painfully coordinated.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-60611303049972567562018-02-09T01:12:05.849-05:002018-02-09T01:12:05.849-05:00Karen; Tidiness isn't my gift!

I keep things clean, meals prepared, laundry tended, etc, but i seem to always have tipples of books, papers and sewing projects out in full view.<br />I'm not sure how mothers of large families managed--they surely didn't have the household conveniences that we take for granted. <br />The cats find the warmest places in the house--not always where I think they should be, but cats rule!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-72987516711706583652018-02-08T20:08:02.971-05:002018-02-08T20:08:02.971-05:00Your farmhouse descriptions remind me of my Grandm...Your farmhouse descriptions remind me of my Grandmother's house. She had 8 children and how she kept her home so neat and tidy, I'll never know. Your kitties look like they are making the most of the dreary weather. Beautiful amaryllis and such a wonderful photo of the neighbor dog with doe. x KKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-30434175148301237612018-02-08T05:24:08.261-05:002018-02-08T05:24:08.261-05:00I hope you enjoyed your book (read it slowly, reme...I hope you enjoyed your book (read it slowly, remember!) I heard that this was going to be her final one about Vera too, which is a shame.<br /><br />Jimmy is doing a good job - Keith has been working on the shower (HOORAY!) so perhaps there is something about the dour days of February which make such chores seem attractive (or inevitable!)<br /><br />What beautiful Amarylis flowers - mum always had a couple in flower at Christmas time, so those blooms remind me of her.<br /><br />I loved your descriptions of how farm interiors used to look - far more practical and no careless flinging around of money to redecorate - it waited until it was necessary.<br /><br />Love the photo of Blue and the doeling.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
