The Charm of the Woods

Huddled within a canopy of trees
cozily wrapped inside a wooden cabin
earthy womb of must, dirt and dust
leaded glass windows set the scene 
shadow and light dance through the pines 
tea kettle whistles over a crackling fire.

This is lovely!!! I am going to share this with my husband. This is exactly my dream right now. Simplicity and the beauty of the woods.

This is a very comforting scene, I feel I am cuddled in an old chair by the fire with a good book and a hot cup of tea~
