How Do You Start Your Day?

I am so glad you stopped by this evening.come on in and have a cup of plain old DD. Yes, you know its decaf, this time of the day. You never have to ask if it is after 2:00.lol Get yourself a cup and have a cookie and lets sit by the fireplace and visit. I am so glad to have you Through My Back Door. I was wondering how everyone starts your day. You see, mornings are one of my two favorite times of the day. The other being evenings. Mornings because everything is fresh and new. (Now I know if you go to bed and leave a sink full of dirty dishes, they will be there in the morning. Learned a long time ago, there is no housecleaning fairy) But you know what I mean, it is almost magical, the new day. I am no pollyanna, there have been days I didn't want to get up and face what I knew lay ahead, but I am talking about in general. Anyway, I get up, do the first things first, let Dasko out and Boo in.(Boo won't sleep in at night) Feed them, make my coffee, then do this. My devotions. I sit here.

This is my reading nook. I no longer have the pie safe as I sold it. This is what is here now.

I do my Bible reading and also this book. If you don't have it, I recommend it. It is a wonderful book to go along with your Bible readings. So that is how the day gets started Through My Back Door. After that I have my prayer and I am ready to go. Those of you in blogland know our prayer lists are getting longer and longer. I love mornings!(Did I tell you that)lol
I guess you spied my red ware mug in the picture.Red ware is the one thing I am continuing to buy. Just love it and think every prim home needs some. You got the NEEDS didn't you? I was lucky enough to get two new pieces for Christmas, by Rick Hamelin, The Pied Potter. He is my favorite and most of my pieces are by him.

This plate was a gift from my friend Carol. It is the feather pattern.

The bean pot was from Sharon and it is the squiggle. I love that pattern too. Most of mine is plain and I love it too.Here  are a few more pieces of what I have. When the Speckled Hen reopens, she has some wonderful tumblers by him to sell. I keep saying, "Thou Shalt Not Covet!" Nor buy!

I have several plates and some Christmas ones I'll share later.I guess you see I have several red ware pitchers. I personally think sweet tea tastes better in them.
My next favorite part of the day is evenings. I love it when it starts to get dark outside, the lights come on inside, and you pull your shades and it is all warm and cozy inside. The coffee is smelling good and all is well with the world. You are ready to settle in watch TV, read a book or what ever. I think evening is a favorite because that is when everyone used to be home, dinner was over and we were all together.

This is how I like it to look at night, even though this is an old picture and that table is now in front of the couch.lol

This is how it looks now. It is night, see the ugly shades pulled!lol
Well, now you know my favorite times of the day. I just realized it is the beginning and the ending.
It is almost time for a heart post! You all know I am a heart person. I have a new one I want to show you. My friend Sandi,Daybreak Place,husband Phil made this one.

Isn't it just prim perfect? I had it on my tree, but wanted it to go on the big German Cupboard key.
I got this little jug a few weeks ago.

Can't wait to share "my heart" with you. Well thanks for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
