Winter Dining Room

Happy Friday all!  This has been some winter storm!  So far, we've gotten pretty lucky here, but it's not over yet.  I feel so bad for the people in Texas who are dealing with terrible conditions.  I hope they get some relief very soon!   

        I set up this winter centerpiece on the dining room table after I put away the Christmas dishes back in January.  I hadn't even planned to take a picture because I've been kind of blah lately.  But now we're having this winter storm, and I thought we could use a touch of warm and cozy.  Hal gave me the flowers for Valentine's, and they've stayed really fresh and pretty.  I've never had this combo of flowers before -- it makes for a lovely bouquet.   

  I know this pandemic has been very stressful for the health care workers, and we certainly appreciate their dedication.  But for those folks who are working from home, or are retired, the overall sameness day after day really can be a challenge, too.  I find it helps me somewhat to do something creative, so that's why I turn to decorating.  I also need to get back to practicing my calligraphy.  What are you doing to keep yourself active and interested while we continue to experience lockdowns and social distancing?  Are you able to exercise at all?   

   

        

   Have you experienced power outages where you live?  I hope you're all staying warm and dry, with plenty to eat.  Thanks for stopping by today!
