I googled this picture because I thought it was rather "quaint." It is very frosty here this morning, but not quite this frosty. Let's just say, I wouldn't go outside without my long handled undies. lol

I like things that are "quaint." I really can't describe them to you, I just know them when I see them. Like an old farm wagon or an old western town with narrow streets. Restaurants can be "quaint", too, only if they have that certain warmth and charm.

Speaking of warmth, I have a fire going this morning in my little stove. It has a certain charm about it as the embers glow and the flames dance along the log in a kind of lazy rhythm. It is relaxing. But, I better not get too relaxed as I have a list of items I want to accomplish today.

Also, I hired a housekeeper. Now, I'm not sure if I am going to adjust to this woman. She came on Tuesday and seemed to do a pretty good job of cleaning, but she is definitely not my type of person. I need to feel comfortable around my housekeeper and so far.... nope. But, I will give her a good chance as there just isn't much help to be hired out here in the sticks.

Well... on with the day. The sun is shining on the frost and right now, it is sparkling like little diamonds. Nice!!!!
