All Quiet on my Front

Gatto enjoys his life as a model.


Frieda enjoys her life as a comfort seeker.


I enjoy my life as a fire gazer.


Yesterday was cold with a light snow later in the day. I spent the afternoon in front of the fire listening to a book. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon. Today is Mark's birthday. He wanted lasagna but I said not this time. My body is pooped, so it will be something simple but flavorful. That's the hope, anyway.

Happy birthday to Mark. And what a great living room. That stone fireplace, perfect winter setting. What's the current audio book?

Sandra said...

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman. A friend recommended it as comfort reading (listening). I must say, I am enjoying it!

This is the perfect winter room.

I remember waiting impatiently for each new Pollifax to appear. She's fun to read.

Sandra said...

Boud, I hadn't heard of her until Julie told me. It is comfort reading.

The lighting is so beautiful in your house. It certainly brings out the
best in your cats. It looks like a very comfortable place to be on cold day.
I am going to go check out Dorthy Gilman on my library web site.
Take Care,
Kaye

Kaye, I use amber light bulbs, they give a wonderfully warm glow to a room. The room is smaller than it looks in photos, so it really is a nice cozy space.

Happy Birthday to Mark! Enjoy your by the fire time...we got just a bit of snow, I can still see the grass. However the wind is howling:(

Happy Birthday to Mark! Your photos today are absolutely gorgeous. Your home looks so cozy and comfortable.

Far Side, it was crazy windy yesterday. Mark had a good birthday, he actually relaxed!

Sandra said...

Lori, I really like the low wattage amber lightbulbs. They give a lovely glow. Mark did have a good day.

Belated birthday wishes to Mark and perhaps lasagna another day as that fireplace location certainly looks cozy, Sandra, and to sit there listening to a book is perfect!

Thanks for your recent visit and blog comments, much appreciated. I am trying to catch up this week 😉

Beatrice, you have been busy!! It is a perfect spot to read or listen to a book. I will make lasagna eventually. I always do.

Your Home looks so Inviting and Cozy that I can see why the Fur Babies are so content.
