It is a dreary and damp, cold and misty morning here. A huge pot of coffee was the order today. Over the weekend I was researching Iceland as a friend I was talking to on the phone was regaling her trip there and sent some pictures. It has been added to my bucket list after the next two trips, if the pandemic ever ceases. While the hustle and bustle of the cities may be alluring, as I get older, you can have them. Nature's beauty calls to me more so and is often winning over a city locale. I would love to see Iceland and would even stay in one of the ice hotels that I have posted about. The aurora borealis must be about the most spectacular show on earth. Can you imagine wrapped in a blanket, with some champagne or a hot toddy viewing it? This couldn't sum up my mood more today.
That is an excellent mood board for today! I would go in a heartbeat, but can't get my other half to go.
ReplyDeleteI love this board along with Brittany Howard in the previous post. You're getting my senses going Mistress.
Im glad you liked it!
DeleteI agree! That has got to be the most spectacular thing to see on the planet. It is just fascinating to me.
ReplyDeleteI dare say magical really.
DeleteG-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!!! I'm hideously asleep on my feet today. This helps.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both. Maybe we should lean on each other and hold each other up?
DeleteThat would be awesome, Mads. I'm picturing you laid out flat after I lean too hard and fall on top of you (platonically of course). We'd need a crane and hot EMTs! How's that for a mood lifter?
DeleteWe be like Laurel and Hardy....but as long as the EMT'S are hot!
DeleteThere you go, my little pancake! Sunnyside up!
DeleteYou two are hilarious!
DeleteOh, I would cozy up with you in a hot second, dear. Coffee? We could have a kiki. You could tell me all your secrets, and I'd tell you some of mine. As for glass houses... not for moi. My place is among the stars... an aurora borealis will do quite nicely. Besides... their a hell of a lot warmer than this ice cube I'm living in. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI'd like that! I have the feeling our secrets would warm us up, wink!
DeleteI like that house!!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular photos. Despite the cold weather, that house is a perfect place to observe the light show. Hot toddies? Yes, please.
ReplyDeleteI love the northern lights but it's been about 25 years since I've seen them. That's the price of urban living. Apparently, however, there was an absolutely SPECTACULAR show of northern lights over my city about 3-4 months ago at 2:00 a.m. Of course, I was fast asleep in bed. That's the price of being old. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm usually up, but alas, we have nothing like that here.
DeleteLove them
ReplyDeleteThe Northern Lights and that modern stacked stone house have put me in a mood!! Lolves it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, but cold.
ReplyDeleteGreat mood board! It's hard not to feel blue on Mondays. I've been very lucky to have witnessed stunning northern lights in some of the most remote places in Canada... white, green, pink, bluish purple... I've watched them swirl in a circle in the sky and dance across it like waves. They're so beautiful sometimes, all you can do is stand there in the cold and watch with your mouth hanging open! You'd enjoy Iceland, Mistress, as it has both fire and ice, and really terrific natural hot springs to soak in!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I wouldn't even mind seeing them up there in Canada either! And Hot Springs!!!! You've sold me! Yes! I have always wanted to try hot springs. A friend of mine here has a hot tub on his deck, and we sometimes get in it in the winter when it's snowing. It's pretty cool. It's our poor man's hot spring, lol!!!!!
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd now that I was in Alaska at -41F, I can say that I'll add this to my bucket list too!
Love that house on the side of the hill, btw.
XOXO
-41F!?!?! Have you seen your balls since?
DeleteOh it is a dream of mine to see the northern lights!! A dream!!
ReplyDeleteOk Ill book it, you can join us, let's go sweet cheeks.
DeleteHere Here! I almost went to Iceland on a trip, but the Fiji Islands won out.I too agree about nature vacations verses cities. One can see a city anytime. I attraction like this is a whole other level.
ReplyDeleteLove the Audrey Hepburn pictures! That was so me this morning.
I love the house, but it pales in comparison to Audrey's beauty.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son and his wife went to Iceland. They brought back a book from Witches museum. And they said lot of people is all tattoo. Sound like place for me.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Beautiful post! And thanks. Now the boy wants to go to Iceland.
ReplyDeleteIceland would be a magical vacation. And in winter you wouldn’t even need your elegant sleep mask.
ReplyDeleteJust what I need right now, coffee and croissants fresh from the boulangerie - the ones you get in supermarkets don't make the grade.
ReplyDeleteThe aurora borealis is phenomenal. When I used to spend my summers on my aunt’s farm way back in my teens, one year I saw this shimmering in the northern sky. I asked my cousin what that was, since we were miles from town. He told me it was the northern lights. Spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYour mood boards are always an inspiration.
A stopover in Iceland is easy to do with Iceland Air, rent a car while you are there. Things are a little pricey, nearly everything is shipped in, and the import duty is high. The people are wonderfully inviting, nearly everyone speaks a least a fair amount of English, the food is hearty, I know where you can get filet of whale, but you don't have to.
ReplyDeleteThe food sounds good, but I'll pass on the whale. I don't know I could eat something so graceful and majestic, lol.
DeleteOne of my dreams is to see the Northern Lights. Beautiful pictures, Mistress M!
ReplyDeleteSx
Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeletesome day I want to see this for myself. Yes I want this.
