    Stellars….

    “Montefioralle is a tiny medieval village located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, near the town of Greve in Chianti. It offers a true glimpse into Italy’s rural medieval past.”

    This looks like a painting…

    Morning everyone! Happy Saturday. Boy, do we have weather from the pits of Purgatory, at least, but that’s sure common here for early January. Seems to be our monsoon month, every year.

      Heavy rain just arrived. Looks like it will be here all morning. Unfortunately I have to drive in it to get to work, an hour away.

      Good mornin’, Menage! I don’t think our weather is quite to that level, but it was 25* colder this morning than yesterday. That’s as close as I want to come! Come get some coffee and warm up a bit!

      Mornin’ All. It is just cold and clear again today. It is right at 30* and appears that it will stay that way for a while. I guess when it snows again it might stay and pile up.

      Hope your weather is better so you can have a nice day.

    Let’s have a snack to go with our coffee. These are actually something I baked, sourdough blueberry brioche tarts. They have a cream cheese filling, and they’re yum!

      imam all in on dark chocolate, the darker the better. Doesn’t matter, indoor, or outdoor, plants universally hate me. I thought for sure moving to a house with some fine sun exposure would help. Amended the soil, fed and watered the damned things. Most died, others are way stunted!

      Good mornin’, czarina! Mrs. T is propogating many newer houseplants, and who doesn’t love eagles and chocolate. I wish I had begun doing vision boards about 40 years ago. It would look a little different than what it does now. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

      I gave up on live houseplants, mine are all artificial now. I like any kind of chocolate. I don’t think I can cut back much more on my energy use. I only get gas once or twice a month because I hardly go anywhere and I keep my apartment pretty cool so my electric bill is pretty low.

        My last orchid just died. It made 6-1/2 years! Now all I have are fake cacti in a really cute bunny planter that my daughter sent me. They were originally real cacti . . .

      Good day, Czarina! Maybe the key to houseplants is to find the ones which do just fine if you ignore them. Personally, I ignore oysters, but say Yes, to saving the eagles, bittersweet dark chocolate, and cutting energy costs.

      I’ve never known anyone who used a vision board, though. The successful men I’ve worked for believed in hard preparatory work (due diligence), study, making the right contacts and simply being bold with the visions they carried in their heads.

    Good mornin’, and happy Saturday! Apparently, I decided to sleep in a bit today. While it’s cold where many of us are, it’s still enjoyable to drink a steaming hot cup of coffee outside. Here’s one of our campfire models. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

    Good morning everyone,

    That fire feels warming this morning. Hot coffee. Just right for Saturday. Thank you all for the treats.

    Seems like it’s mixed weather all around.

    A good time for some of Lucille’s videos, more coffee, blueberry tarts, and later an after-dinner cheese cake. (Good thing I’m having salad for lunch.)

    Best wishes for a good Saturday for all, including Czarina, who’s braving the weather to help needy souls.
