Who Needs an Office with a Window?

…when you are fortunate enough to work from a home office.

I often start out early in the morning on the back deck where the morning sun is bright and warm.

But when it gets too hot there, I move to the side porch for some shade,

or the front porch to swing a bit while typing.

Sometimes it’s necessary to work in THE actual home office…

but I also might sit at the kitchen table,

or more often stand at the kitchen counter,

or even curl up on the couch.

And though I so terribly miss my little four-legged co-worker, buddy, and pal, Mikey who was constantly by my side,

many of you have asked about our new neighbor, the baby cardinal.

Well – she visits often.  She has learned to eat from the feeders and is growing fast.

Isn’t she cute?!

She hangs out with the menagerie of other cardinals, goldfinches, grosbeaks, woodpeckers, orioles, and all the others that flutter about in our backyard.

So who needs an office with a window – eh?

I am so fortunate to have my office at home tweet home.

Cheers & Hugs,

My Favorite Recipe

happy home

Yep – this is a good one!  One of my favorite recipes!

Not sure if it is because of the sweet young-child writing  from my now married, 26 year old son on the gingerbread  and heart-shaped candy cane recipe card,

or the wonderful meaning of the words in the simple message,

0r the fact that I love my home and family so much….

No matter the reason, hope you will also enjoy this FAVORITE recipe!

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi
