As we say good-bye to 2019  -  remember all of the good moments.

 Onward to a wonderful 2020.

Sugar Plum

Good bye to the most wonderful and lovable companion for the last 18 years 
 rest in peace.

Holly

As the year and the decade come to a close - it's a good time for quiet contemplation.

I'm looking back through photos that I've taken this year ~ there were so many special musical moments. Seeing Lake Street Dive at Newport Folk Festival was one of them!

Winter Scene

Even though winter doesn't officially begin for over a week - it has felt like winter for weeks now.

Snow

Just a little snow - still hanging around from Monday's storm - so pretty.

Opening

A very elegant patio leads into a great room and an elegant fireplace.

Mantle

Perfect holiday scene to brighten up a very rainy day.

Cozy Couch

So much rain all day today and more expected for tomorrow - a good time to curl up on the couch with a good book.

Colorful

I just love this colorful mid-century modern Christmas tree - it makes me smile.

Fireplace

Love the floors and the fireplace - they don't build houses like they used to.

Winter Floral

A perfectly beautiful winter floral display -- the brick backdrop adds to the beauty.

Window Display

Lovely sentiment on this Christmas window display at a Ralph Lauren shop.

Snow

Just a little bit of snow left over from the weekend.

Cold and sunny  -------  December weather.

With the messy weather outside - it was a good day to do a little shopping and get some decor inspiration.

December

December is here -- time to decorate the tree.

Shopping

Time to get that Christmas shopping started -- less than a month until Christmas.

I love looking into the historic rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 
 so fascinating to see how people have lived in the past.

Another great episode of Live From Here - Paul Simon and Anais Mitchell - among the guests.

Fountain

No - it's not Rome - this lovely fountain resides just outside the 
New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Sunsets

Sunsets are always so pretty when they're reflected in water.

Animal Print

Animal prints are big this fall --- this happens to be wallpaper.

Clouds

Nothing but clouds today -- come back sun.

Now that most of the leaves have fallen from the trees - it's so important to have many evergreens around.
