White Christmas pretty please?

Last weekend we got a little bit of snow... and now we’re losing it which saddens me greatly because I’ve longed for it so much. I mean what’s the point living up north if you don’t even get snow for Christmas. I’m sure will get plenty in February or so - at the time I would be more than ready for spring ;)

Snow or not Christmas is coming! Only few more days. I’m all ready and set. Instagram will update on daily basis - hope to see you there or here sooner or later :)

Have a very happy Christmas everyone!

Time and silence

I so need Sundays. Need and love. Last week was quite hard. We lost all our snow and soaked into unbelievable darkness. I had completely forgot what it is like and it was really shocking.... the girls were sick and I had more work than I could have handled.

So I needed this Sunday.  I don't mind the rain and today I find the darkness comforting. Time and silence are the most luxurious things today. Accompanied little gingerbread baking and it was a perfect day... 

So if you are too tired 

to speak, sit next to me, 

because I, too, am fluent 

in silence.

Gray scale with roses

So we have snow...! And it's been so cold it stays. Somewhat beautiful but not just enough to beat the ugly gray scale of everything nowadays. I have a soar throat and a little headache which annoys me a lot since I would have needed this weekend to enjoy. But I bought roses and I have some good reading and a blanket to help me create some harmony and joy. We even went winter swimming, the lake is already frozen! And later in the evening we'll make a fire and have a glass of wine.

Memory is an autumn leaf
that murmurs a while in
the wind and then is
heard no more...

A month in photos {March 2016}

Just like that another month has flown by! One whole quarter of this year is gone...
My winter boots are all worn out, the windows need to be cleaned, days seem long and I'm desperately waiting the first signs of spring.

What was your month like and is it spring yet in your part of the world?!

March mood...

Sun, rain, fog even snow. The nature cannot decide whether it's winter or spring. Just like I can't decide if I like it or not. March tends to be a very long wait for the spring. The intermediate space between seasons. I'm impatient and then not. Partly enjoy the wait. The reposeful wait before it stars to happen again. Nude tones, colorless nature, my mood that swings between boring and anxious.

Wouldn't give up on March. I would give up sneezes and tissues though....

But whatever you have planned this week and whatever the season in your part of the world, I hope you have time to breathe in the fresh air and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us!

Cold & Classic comfort

Winter holiday is over but cold and cough remains... There has been days inside, some cabin-fever... hundreds of hankies, hugs and comfort food.

A month in photos {February 2016}

In February days started to get noticeable longer! And as wonderful as it is, it makes us desperately long for spring. Also we are getting somewhat tired of winter physically and in the end of the month we have caught a flue or two... Despite of that we have enjoyed pink tulips, hopes and dreams as well as progress in personal projects. I feel I became alive after a long time and I've shot much more than in the past few months. We warmly welcome March!

February favorite...
