In the news tonight...

Have you seen Silver Linings Playbook? Despite the Hollywood hype, and associated hoo-hah it's actually very good. Really the trailer doesn't do it justice. And hooray for David O. Russell for producing a mainstream film that is a step towards publicising, and normalising mental illness and differences within our communities.

What:nots...

My it's been a funny few weeks, but here we are in February already. I hope January treated you well, I seem to be achieving my goal of reading more this year which is so very satisfying. Have you read anything good lately? I'd love to hear any recommendations. And in my next leap of faith, I'm considering a small course of study - quite the leap of faith as it has been many years since I went near a University! So we shall see. With my dwindling spare time (thanks to my dear horse, children, and now studying) I will be taking a break from what:nots. Although let's be honest my posts have been few and far between of late, and there's a part of me that feels it's run its course. I hope to still pop in and post the odd thing now and then, and of course will still be on Pinterest and Tumblr. Have a wonderful week.

Lovely dappled light found here.

This has been added to my reading list (found via by Heidi's favourites list).

And this looks like a particularly wonderful way to tour the English countryside.

I hope all is well in your corner of the world. After a very slow start to the year, and an even slower reintegration to Portland and our day to day life, things have picked up and it's been busy. Really busy! Hopefully, by the time this weekend rolls around things will be back to the slowness of the hols...or at least partly back to that pace. Happy Tuesday!

Snow drawings...

I'm completely captivated by Sonja Hinrichsen's snow drawing at Rabbit's Ears Pass.

For more pics head over here, and for more snow drawing goodness

have a peek at Simon Beck's work.

I hope your week is boxing along nicely, I'll be back in the next day or so

with a long overdue what:nots.

Merry Christmas...

I hope you have a wonderful day with your family + friends. I am happily ensconced at our farm with R and the boys - there's nothing like coming home, wandering the fields, heading down to the river, and generally mooching about. And with temps in the high twenties (or 60s) it looks like we have a blissful few weeks ahead.

Phew! The past week has been a whirlwind of pre-Christmas chaos planning. I honestly have made more batches of cookies, fudge, and ginger slice than is good for one's psyche. How has the past week been for you? I hope you've a stellar Christmas planned. Our trip home is looking like a whirlwind of friends and family, but a nice kind of whirlwind if there is such a thing. Have a lovely weekend, and safe travels if you're heading beyond your front door.

I have a serious girl-crush on Miranda Brooks.
