I think it is best to read Dickens by the candlelight. For some reason it just sets up the mood. Big armchair, candlelight and you are back in his time.

Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so....

Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~ A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo. It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I

No bell? Reminds me of the phrase "bell, book, and candle" that was used in a rite of ex-communication. Your photo, however, is very sweet and gentle.
ReplyDeleteLovely scene! I think I'd rather read by daylight than by candlelight. I might fall asleep on Dickens.
