Did you watch Downton last night? We have all been counting down the days. Norah made a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing just for the occasion.
Christmas is still lingering on a bit here. The tree is still up and the holiday music remains on shuffle. As my mom would say “Christmas is not over until the Epiphany!”
But I do love the start of a new year. A fresh, crisp new calendar. A list of goals and aspirations. Re-organizing and re-arranging. And a sense of calm as the holiday hustle comes to a close.
I am so glad you are back! I missed peaking in to you lovely life.
We’re savoring this last season of Downton, and we say too “Christmas isn’t over until Epiphany!” Glad to see you here in this New Year. I appreciate your sense of beauty in the everyday of life.
I’ll watch this afternoon, when I have a few hours of quiet time for myself!
Happy new year Amy!
Glad you are back! I found your blog a few months ago and have been drifting through old posts ever since. I share a lot of your hobbies… cooking, gardening, mama-ing, knitting, and Downton so its no wonder I’m loving your blog. The photos of your home are my favorite and inspire me to look around our home for ways to improve and freshen things up. I am a beginner blog writter (cooking) and am learning a lot from you, thanks! Happy New Year! –Meryl
