...this year we are keeping it simple around here for Christmas....
On Monday I brought the box (with boxes) of Christmas decorations up from the cellar and I have slowly begun to decorate...I only put 5 pieces so far:
~ the 3 dimensional plywood tree/ candle holder (from Habitat)
~ the handmade reindeer from salted dough (decorated with little details made with golden ink) I made last year during one of my Art&Crafts in English sessions with mighty, little students
~ two ...gigantic woolen socks, tied to the stairs up (not seen here - picture to come)
~ the pair of wooden ice skates which is hanging on one of the window handles seen here
~ and the two handmade angels from Munieca, purchased last year via Etsy (seen in comments)
This year I've decided to be decorating little by little, adding something every now and then until I feel that the outcome is ready. And while last year I created a winter Wonderland as among a few lovely others, wonderful Kirsten from Simply Grove had blogged about it , this year I have a need ofr basics, keeping it simple and an attitude for less is more.
Back before our nation was involved in the COVID-19 outbreak, I was enjoying a sunrise in the Hackensack Meadowlands at Richard DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. A metal outline depicting a pre September 11th NYC skyline serves as a reminder of the past.
It’s all about the simple things, really
That’s how it’s always been before
Who needs anything complicated for happiness?
When simplicity brings so much more
I want a home in which to sleep and stay
Something with a roof would be neat
And so that I could stay alive for a bit,
It would be nice to have food to eat
As for the other things, I only need a couple
I need my books, of course, and music, too
And an endless supply of paper and pens, a camera would be nice too.
Then I’ll never run out of fun things to do
The key ingredient, though, is good company
And everything that that friendship or relationship brings
Who could ever need more than that?
Happiness comes in the simplest things.
Oh my friends, this Shelter in Place is getting old. I'm ready for the 3 week PJ party to end. It is harder to find simple joys this week and I'm feeling a little down. I'm totally unmotivated to do anything but sit and read a book, do puzzles or watch TV. My family has felt the same way.
One day my husband decided we should all go for a walk. Something we haven't done as a family for a long time. I grabbed my camera and headed out the door trailing behind the family as I took a few pictures.
I'm thankful for this time of shelter together so we can continue to spend time together. I am also thankful that the weather has turned sunny and nice so we can get outside and into the fresh air.
what are your favorite simple pleasures?

Simple and sexy like Jojo lol. I don't like getting dressed up so I rarely wear stocking or tights or even make-up. Instead I rely on my femininity to charm the folks and the best way to win them over is with a simple but striking little-black-dress like this. It's a bit cheeky for daytime wear but nobody says anything bad as it nurtures respect. I find being positive is the best means of defence as the people who try to belittle us are bullies and bullies are usually just little people with not much bottle. I think the secret to why I have such an easy ride in life is I am just me and the feminity I surround myself with feels and seems right. I'm a very happy go lucky happy sort of person with no attitude as I'm not trying to prove a point either and people like that.
That's exactly what the advert said and that's just how easy it was to take a picture of this, near enough static Meerkat.

There are many flashy, bright strobing holiday displays all over the Cape. They get bigger and flashier every year. Giant inflatable critters rock back and forth as the cold winter winds blow through Cape Cod towns. However, there's something to be said for the simple. Whether it be a single string of lights above a porch, or a lone tree anchored in the middle of a pond like this one in Sandwich. Sure, you can dazzle folks with your illumination extravaganza but the display that catches this night photographer's eye is what paints the picture of a simple New England holiday. At the end of a cold and windy shoot last week, I started my trip home and spotted this. I knew I had to shoot it so I found another place to park, geared back up, and made the icy walk down to the best spot I could find. I shot there for an hour as the clouds broke and a half moon started peeping though the back end of a retreating snow storm.

Continuing trying to use this mixture with bad bromo-iodizer. 10 minutes after mixing the collodion turns deep amber like it's already gone bad. I've since ordered the ingredients to make some New Guy collodion. We'll see how that fares...
