Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

Woodland Path to the Frog Pond

I've wanted to start a blog for some time now.

But...

it was just one more thing on my to-do list that kept being
forced to the bottom of the list.

You know how that goes!

The Frog Pond

The fires that rage the hottest are the ones we attend to,

whilst the little smoldering embers lie there

virtually exstinguished until...

Snow-covered Driveway to the Cottage

Then it finally dawned on me.  Blogging will never be a raging fire in my life,

because it is not something I have to do.  It's something I simply want to do! 

And, unfortunately, the have-tos in my life seem to
always win out over the want-tos.

Beloved Well-House

But, this is a new year, and with a new year comes new opportunities—

or, as some would say, resolutions.

So, with the onset of this new year, I have resolved to do some of the

things I've been really wanting to do—such as blogging!

The Pump House

I had originally set a goal of starting my blog on 01/01/2010.

(Wow!  That date looks so futuristic to me!)

For weeks, I contemplated what to write about...
what to share with all of you...what photos to show you, etc.

I just couldn't seem to lock in on where to start.

The Log Barn

Then this frigid weather descended upon us! 

And I thought,  "That's it!  This place is quite beautiful when it snows, and I

already have some great photos from last year

that I can share."

I knew if I waited for my brain to finally register some other

start-up topic, I might just never get this

blog up and running!

The Reconstructed Barn—in Progress
So...
I've filled these first two posts with
snowy images of the outside of my home.

And I bid you welcome to The Brambleberry Cottage—
all decked out in her winter finery.

It's truly some of her grandest attire, don't you think?!   ; )
