MOOD BOARD

 

A late Monday today. After the snowstorm and these cold temps, it was nice to have a longer lay in than usual for a Monday morning, making a cloudy Monday more bearable. I look forward to a half day. But what I wouldn't give to be in that A-frame above! In the woods. Away from it all. Happy Monday dears.

    I should have known !
    It’s that promiscuous blond house boy that’s keeping you warm. :-)

  4. I love the moose on the snowy veranda, and the sweater on the greyhound hood ornament!

  5. That moose looks like he wants his winter coat back from the blonde houseboy! And you know it's cold when hood ornaments are wearing wool sweaters... LOVE the new header too.

  6. As usual, a nice and much appreciated and classy mood board of yours.
    A couple of weeks ago we had a short episode of snow here in western France, wrecking small havoc among people not used to walking and even less driving on iced streets/roads. For many of my colleagues it's bee a fine excuse to work remotely from their warm and comfy home. Although I rather did the 'Lancelot' thingy and dared to go onsite, which was just me saying "let me put on a warm - and beautiful - scarf, my very British pied-de-poule coat and these whatever-the-weather-proof Portuguese-made shoes and go to the workplace.
    A little achievement indeed. But hey, don't we all take these baby steps to face whatever our current world is aiming at us, should it be the weather or politics?
    I wish you and all your readers well.

    1. PS: as chauvinistic as it may seem, thank you for your new blog's header showing a Citroën DS (pronounced déesse in French, as in 'godess'). It remains an epitome of the engineering and design audacity the car industry once has been capable of.
      Cheers,

    2. The story behind that picture was my grandfather had a Citroen DS when I was a wee one. I recall getting two or three rides in it. It was the toast of the neighborhood. I adore those cars. My grandmother later sold it, but had she not, I'm sure I would have been the only one that would have wanted it. I could see me driving that beauty.

  7. Oh, babes.
    You have no idea how much I would like to be in that little cube in the middle of a snowy forest! Ugh. My Monday has been SOMETHING!

    XOXO

    1. Could you imagine being in that Cube house? Just imagine the Kiki and the debauchery we would have together in the house.

  10. I'd like to get away from everything, too. You can half of the A-frame and I'll take the other half. As long as we each have our own bathroom, we'll be fine. Our dogs will take care of each other, and we can take turns cooking. We'll never turn on the news. We'll lock up our phones. No laptops. What a lovely thought.

    Love,
    Janie

  11. Ah yes, I see I'm in good company as others seem to like the same pictures I do, moose and sweater vested hood ornament. Lovely pictures as usual! You're in PA, right? How does the weather break down? Like how many months of snow? and rain? Since its a northern state I assume the summer isn't too hot, like here. As I think I've mentioned before it's on our short list of places to move too. We just can't afford to stay here more than a couple more years. Our land is valuable, we made a good purchase years ago, but unless one of us can find another high paying job for at least 10-15 more years it's not going to keep us out of poverty.

  17. Waking up to find a moose that size on one's veranda in the morning is sure to kill any mood. Unless it's a chocolate mousse, of course.

    Love the Mars Attacks GIF!!

    1. Furthermore a chocolate mousse served off the chest of one of those two guys.
