Outside My Window... an orange and white feral cat is walking along a field of Euonymus alatus 'compacta' aka Burning Bush, marking his territory.
I am thinking... I could really use a little sunshine. Just an hour or so would be so very nice.
I am thankful... Charlotte Pup Pup! Her bright disposition and energy are contagious.
From the kitchen... Vegetable soup with leeks Rosemary & thyme.
I am wearing... A wonderful comfy light grey polar fleece with bell selves, split sides and a Mandarin collar. The cuffs, collar and hem have blanket stitching. It was a wonderful post Christmas gift from my Mum, purchased at Coldwater Creek. The rest is the daily uniform of jeans and lace up work boots.
I am creating... project boards.
I am going... to the barn.
I am reading... Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days At Pemberly by Linda Berdoll (sigh)
I am hoping... for a nice birthday... Sunny!
I am hearing... An Excavator, footsteps, papers shuffling.
Around the house... things are quiet. The JRT's need a nice long walk.
One of my favorite things... Mr. Darcy
A few plans for the rest of the week... A night out (hopefully), more painting at Sisterella's (probable), stall cleaning (most definitely).
The picture thought I am sharing... I need a bit of color. The closest thing to sunshine in the my archives. Acer palmatum var. 'Bloodgood' aka Bloodgood Japanese Maple in fall glory.

Oooooooh - is that a sequel to Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife? If so, will you send it to me when you are finished reading it:)
Oh Neas...it is, it is. It is so very wonderful! I reread Mr. Darcy Takes A Wife on Saturday and Sunday. I have had a smile on my face since. I ♥ Mr. Darcy!
Alright, I posted about Pepper, my Jack. Hope you enjoy!
Oh Pepper....you adorable JRT! Thank you for posting pix of her.
That sounds like a good day to me-am a fan of all things Jane Austen too!
That Bloodgood Japanese Maple is stunning! Sound like you have things well in order to begin the New Year! :)
You have "Crack" Russels? Ha I just read The Wifes, post. I too have a little "Angel" I love the little torpedo. SHe is a great little dog. I have had two others that were wonderful. I miss both terribly. They were both long legged smooth coats. Ryley is a long legged broken coat. Stop by and check her out. She too loves to excavate! Aren't they the best little pups? Oh nice to meet you btw!
Mr Darcy is quite acceptable here too!
Lucky you with Coldwater Creek. I see the adverts in magazines from the US and the clothes look delectable, but the cost of shipping and taxes puts them out of reach for mail order.
Glad to see other Darcy fans here.
Train Wreck....'Crack' Russell's. Tooooo funny!
What a glorious picture of the Japanese Maple!
My apology worked and it's now very mild!
Hope you get a bit of sun your way.
Thank you for stopping by to visit and leave a note. :o)
I like your list. It's a great way to stop & reflect. I think I'll do one too.
Coldwater Creek has some nice stuff. Good quality.
I'm ready for summer!
You have a birthday coming up? So do I January 14th. When is yours?

Carolyn...I look forward to reading yours.
Linda...My Birthday is the 8th. Happy early b-day to you!
Coming over from hayseed. I see you love the Outlander series as much as I do. I am reading them for the 4th time :)
Sarah....WELCOME! I'm a fan of all things Gabaldon. I've read the series through start to finish twice. I read Outlander again at the end of the year...and will start slowly re-reading the whole with the anticipation that the next will be published by the end of the year.
The absolute stinker with her books is that if your a fan a 'big' books. She ruins you for a regular 'ol read. Because the detail is so darn stunning. But they are really BIG books.
Anyhoo...nice to 'meet' ya and I do hope you come back.
Your outfit sounds comfy! I just love fleece! And those leaves are beautiful!
Loving that leaves picture!
Your vegetable soup sounds yummy! I must get a hold of this Mr. Darcy book!
Tami, what lovely reflections! I enjoyed that very much. And we must have been thinking the same thing with our "warm" photos today. I can barely type right now, my hands are so cold. Heading off to bed now to snuggle under the covers. :) BTW, I love seeing your little doggy on my blog. So cute!
I love the way you describe everything, it sounds so interesting and .... dreamy !
Wishing you & your family a wonderful & happy 2009 !

I love that picture. Its so colorful. I wish it was fall again!
Thanks for the comments on the picture. This Japanese Maple is very old. And it is the required purple leaves in the summer. But it pops in with a wonderful surpise in the fall with the reddish/orange. Very pleasing to the eye. And very warming to the spirit.
As for Linda Berdoll's Mr. Darcy Takes A Wife....I daresay that it will have you reaching for your fans...and the blush it induces will well neigh last quite some time.
HA AHha I gotcha! Actually I have my Girl posted here http://www.cowboysandsunsets.com/2008/11/did-you-miss-me-im-back-with-results.html
& here http://www.cowboysandsunsets.com/2008/07/circus-dogs.html
