										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always struggle a bit this time of year.  I just can&#8217;t stand the dark, gray, gloom that surrounds the Pacific Northwest during the winter months.  (Who am I kidding&#8230; it&#8217;s most months here.)  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, we have beautiful days here and there, but for the most part it&#8217;s pretty gray around here.  I love being outside and working in my yard, but this time of year everything has died and there is just a muddy mess of leaves that we didn&#8217;t get around to picking up and skid marks of mud where we once had grass.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s dreary, Friends.</div>

<p>Well, at least we don&#8217;t feel the pressure to work in the yard every weekend when it&#8217;s a muddy mess.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qXNWpf6zkcM/VKyTXEd2eSI/AAAAAAAAUoI/b0-ZUN5LoHM/s1600/Backyard%2B2%2BJanuary.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qXNWpf6zkcM/VKyTXEd2eSI/AAAAAAAAUoI/b0-ZUN5LoHM/s1600/Backyard%2B2%2BJanuary.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>My attention turns to inside this time of year and making a cozy and inviting place for my family.  I focus more on cooking, baking, cleaning, organizing, and decorating than weeding, planting, pressure washing, and dead-heading.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJd837iTpSE/VKv5UkUYX_I/AAAAAAAAUnk/1lXXWQqmWZ0/s1600/Craft%2BRoom.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJd837iTpSE/VKv5UkUYX_I/AAAAAAAAUnk/1lXXWQqmWZ0/s1600/Craft%2BRoom.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>As I was feeling down about the gray and rain again today, I reminded myself how much I LOVE <b style="font-style: italic;">home.</b>  I want my home to wrap my kids and husband with coziness.  I want it filled with smells of good food and the sounds of laughter.  It&#8217;s a happy place, and do you know what?  It&#8217;s not so bad to be trapped inside because of the gray and gloom.</p>
<p><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XuAosgWHMJ8/VKv5VelJ0nI/AAAAAAAAUno/ukxWH2jDwtg/s1600/living%2Broom%2B2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XuAosgWHMJ8/VKv5VelJ0nI/AAAAAAAAUno/ukxWH2jDwtg/s1600/living%2Broom%2B2.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a time to nest a bit and create as many memories inside the house as we do outside.</p>

<p>Home is a good place to be.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SZdhpUku0MM/VKv4ZMWIHCI/AAAAAAAAUnY/yBrFW5pfL5k/s1600/fireplace%2B1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SZdhpUku0MM/VKv4ZMWIHCI/AAAAAAAAUnY/yBrFW5pfL5k/s1600/fireplace%2B1.jpg" alt="" width="544" height="640" border="0" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Happy Homemaking!</div>
