Hand sewn farm patch quilt 
Primitive paintings 
Sheep, pigs, cows, chickens
Snow falling outside
My kitchen decor

Peace in my heart
Comfort from home
Backs of my teeth
Soft, warm cat fur

Girls giggles 
Time ticking
Heat humming 

Apples
Laundry 

Wine

Wow, Crystol, that is very similar to mine! I think yours is a little better. Girls giggles is preferable to gossipy neighbors and, while it's close, wine probably trumps scones...but who's to say you can't have both?

Grounding ingredients to keep us grounded. Liked all yours and the Pino Grigio at the end. Splendid...
