Our World!!

A mostly gray and foggy world it is here in the northwest!!  Yep, I do long for spring!!  But I shouldn't whine, lots of people have it SO much worse!! Ah, but maybe this is the real answer!!
To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring. ~W.J. Vogel

Wishing all of you a most beautiful and joyous Happy New Year!!

    It's so pretty there, I'm always amazed at how green your world is, Sylvia. Have a very Happy New Year. I'll give Socks a pat for you, and also little Laika, another small dog we're looking after for a couple of weeks.

    It's eerie how it looks like fall with snowflakes falling. We have no orange left. My World Tuesday: http://www.looseleafnotes.com/2013/12/a-breath-of-fresh-air/

    But there is also something in a foggy landscape, I must say!

    With exception of one day of snowfall it has been pretty standard West Coast winter weather … damp, foggy and gray. They certainly have it rougher in the East Coast, however. Happy New Year, Sylvia!

    It doesn't look wintery at all where you are., just like a foggy fall day. Your quote for the day is a really good one.
    If the day is grey outside, light a candle in your heart and be flooded by joy.

    Have the Happiest New Year ever!!!

    That first quote is very good - hadn't heard that one before. I guess most things are relative in one way or another. Better yet, don't borrow money, save it and come to Florida in the winter! :)

    Your photo portrays a scene similar to what you might find here. We do get some seasonal changes and one of those involves trees where the leaves turn about this time of year!

    Hope your New Year celebration is joyous. Be safe and enjoy!

    Sigh... It's true. It's near 0 where my daughter lives and their furnace died. Sheesh! The fish died, but they have heat now. Thank goodness! I love your Seattle fog.

    At least it is green and not grey, but I agree - spring should be here in about 2, 3, 4 months ....

    Happy New Year!
