January Blues In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Sunshine Cottage

Happy Monday sweet friends. I hope you all are enjoying the long holiday weekend! Many of you received snow, we only received a cold rain. It is a good day to stay inside and enjoy my snickerdoodle coffee.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
‭‭Micah‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley!

Psalm 51:6

I enjoy sharing all things beautiful with you dear readers. But, I also enjoy sharing some of the day to day stuff…you know, the everyday living! The blog serves as a personal journal that hopefully one day my grandchildren will read. Warning: this post might contain photos of the three wonderful blessings that we call “grands”.

Why did I start out with a Monday Morning Blooms photo from a couple of years ago?READ MORE
