Oh where did summer go....

 The geraniums will soon be gone - I will enjoy them until they are no longer

- and then replace them with some fall mums.

These hanging blooms are pouring out their last foliage.

I will miss the sunny mornings out on the back deck.

The ever bountiful Hostas...

...and more.

But the joy they will return next Spring in all their glory creates

 much hope and joy.

Thank you God that we can always have hope in you and can see a glimpse of

 that hope through your wonderous creation!

Stay Cozy,

Carrie

Snow ready...

 

 

 This little bundle of joy was getting ready to enjoy some recent snow we had here in Oregon!

Except for the loss of power for 4 days due to the ice...

I always love the snow!

Our little grandson, Van is 18 months now...so fun!

 

Stay Cozy, 

Carrie

Why you been gone so long?

There is no excuse for my long absence...as we all know it's been a crazy time for us all ! My hope is to return to my blog posting - as I have always adored the friends I have met, the lovely words of encouragement I have received and the inspiration and creativity I have witnessed from so many of you ♥ 

I realize that many have shifted over to facebook or instagram or other social sharing venues - but there is just something so personal and special about our individual blogs. I realize the time it takes to visit blogs and leave comments, etc....but the idea is not to make it an added burden to our lives - but to use it in the way that works best for ourselves - and have it be an avenue of joy and encouragement and perhaps at times....a place to share in one's challenges as well.

Here's a toast to those that have managed to continue blogging without a break...Bravo!

And here's to those like me that might be trying to make a "comeback"!

 

Still Staying Cozy,

Carrie
