I am so glad this lovely 1887 painting survived the post and was saved by the lucky recipient.

I definitely have winter bluebirds but I can't recall ever seeing them in the snow. Isn't this a great photograph?!

Sherlock New Year's Special 2016

via

I have to watch Sherlock again, this time on my iPad, really up close and personal. I fell asleep toward the end last night and missed quite a lot. When I watch the full episode online, I will be able to read the writing that pops up now and again in the program that I can't read while watching in bed because my tv screen isn't big enough. I'm sure others must have the same problem. I won't have any trouble with my iPad. I love watching movies on it too. The full episode won't be available on PBS.org until January 11th.

Vermont Farmhouse at Twilight

You know I love a house photo with all the lights on inside and the porch light too. Nothing is more inviting or beautiful. A little snow is the icing on the cake. via

Hooray. I almost forgot about this because it's a Friday night rather than a Sunday night. Set your DVR.

Delicious White Kitchen w/ Stainless Butler's Sink

White marble countertops and a fabulous farm sink with towel rack! Yes to all. Love the leaded window above the cafe curtains. via

Donkey with Dolan Lamb Papoose

These are the world's most expensive sheep, costing in the millions each, being purchased by wealthy Chinese as pets. Better not let their feet touch the ground until these rare lambs can travel in a pack and not get hurt! Read more about Dolan Sheep here and here. photo source

New Year's Fireworks

This is my favorite animated gif.

I post it every year.

I text it to my friends too.

It's fun to have on your phone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Filled with good health and good friends.
