Frosty Mornings

It's that beautiful time of year when you're greeted by a white frost almost every morning. On two of those such mornings, I ventured out and photographed some of the magical fairyland (as it seemed to be.) Here are some of the best:

Endings and Beginnings

 The old year has gone, like the dying sparks of a fire.

Now the new is here; 'tis a fire blazing bright.

Have a wonderful 2016!

Band: My favourite band (as always) is the Gothard Sisters. :)
Music Artist: I suppose the Gothard Sisters count for this, too. ;)

A year in review....

Something I accomplished in 2015...
Reading the Chronicles of Narnia and hosting my first blog link-up. :)

Something I hope to accomplish next year...
I hope to finish my stories. :) And also reach my goal from this year of reading 100 books.

Go ahead and post 3 favorite candid shots from 2015...
Do nature pictures count for candid? Well, anyway, here are 4 of my favourite nature pictures (I couldn't pick just 3).

What is some things you did that you always said that you'd never do?

Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

What I look forward to in 2016:
I don't know if I have anything specific I'd like to accomplish. I do look forward to continuing to develop my talents and maybe gain a few new ones. I look forward to all the exciting adventures that 2016 will bring.

Hope You Had a Wonderful Christmas

Sending you joyful wishes this beautiful holiday season.

May we always remember why we celebrate--for Christ was born to give us hope.

Love ~ S. F.

Photos by my sister. :)

Hullo, good friends!

Kara did the "Sweater Weather" tag on her blog, and it looked fun so I thought I'd go along and do it as well. :) Join in and answer the questions on your blog or in a comment!

1. Favourite candle scent: Hmmm. . .I'm not sure if a have a specific favourite.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? Herbal tea, thank you!

3. What's the best fall memory you have? Playing in the leaves with my sibling, and having lovely Thanksgivings.

4. Best fragrance for fall: Oh, you know that smell when you step out the door and all the smells become combined, so as the best way to describe it is simply "Autumn time!"? Mmm-hmm, that one. And also, Thanksgiving meal being cooked. ☺

5. Most worn sweater: I do have sweaters, but more frequently wear a long-sleeved shirt instead.

6. Football games or jumping in leaf piles? Definitely jumping in leaf piles. Wee! ;)

7. Skinny jeans or leggings? Leggings under a skirt.

8. Combat boots or Uggs? I haven't had either, and therefore have no preference beside to say both look nice and comfy.

9. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype? . . .Maybe. ;)

10. Favourite fall TV show: None.

11. What do you want to be for Halloween? Well, it already happened and I prefer to call it "Autumn Costume Festival". . .and so I was a medieval princess for Autumn Costume Festival.

12. Hats or scarves? Both are good. :)

13. What's your #1 favourite thing about fall? Beautiful leaves, harvest time, service, and snuggling under the covers after a chilly day. ♥

Hope your November has been brill so far! :)

With love,
