Wintry flurries...

It took some time..but now winter made up his mind...its here...!!!

The perilous highs, and desperate lows, and extravagent flurries of mood are not always symptoms of a broken mind, but signs of a beating heart.

Reflections at the lake..

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.

~Henry David Thoreau

  A magical creature sat there..staring into the lake...I overheard it talking to the birds...something about the light..and the days getting longer..The birds answered ..softly twittering from under fluffy feathers..Its a cold day at the Hilltop...

Shaken..not stirred..

“I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on.”

  Stephen Sondheim


Be brave..you only live twice..one for youself..and one for your dreams...

IIIIIts Monday...

Monday's are Monday's....even in 1896....don't get stuck in traffic my dear...

Where to start...

My studio looks something like this....Way to many projects and I love all of them...now...where to start...I think I;m going to wake up Miss Moussie...I left her sleeping in her birdsnest...about three weeks ago!!!!..Or maybe Big bear and Little Mouse.?....And I desperately need to visit Nowhere...my friends are waiting...I'm on my way dear friends..I just don't know what to do first... I'll begin with picking up my pencil...and then the rest will follow...:-)

Snuggle..

The days are grey on the Hilltop...rain and stormy clouds..so I know what I'm going to do this weekend..Snuggle..meaning.. To make oneself comfortable, usually by moving closer to another person or thing. To embrace closely, as to show affection or offer warmth... I;m going to stay close to my hubby when he gets home...wishing you a warm snuggly weekend with your loved ones..!

So..how is the weather....:-)

Not much sense..

We are not making much sense today at the Hilltop..just to tired...we did start with a lot of plans ..but...well..somehow..ZZzzzzzzzzz...


"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."”

Wishing you a lovely weekend...:-)

..Perspective...

Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas. ~J.K. Rowling

I love making midnight strolls at the Hiltop...I never was afraid in the dark..So..when I can't sleep you can find me wandering..maybe catching a star..maybe two...one for you....Listening to an owls wise words.. putting daytime trials and tribulations in perspective..
So..if you are worried..not seeing the forest for the trees..stumbling on straws..want to be strong to attack any crisis..take my hand..everything will be alright..

Tada tada ta yum pom pom

Last week I heard more then one's a waltz from Strauss....a classic way to open the new year...So lets honor this tradition...:-)

In the little video the weather is better then on the Hilltop today...
By the way..I wanted to ask you..did it snow in your part of the world..? In our garden we are still waiting and the birds are thinking ..SPRING..!

All dressed up..

Snowflakes

The fairies called snowflakes all dressed up in white,
They went to the dance, and were dancing all night.

And now they lie tired, where sleep chanced to o'ertake them.
Step lightly, speak softly, take care not to wake them!



Holidays are over...got to go and follow the music again..lots of new years festivities to attend to,(all dressed up)...I;m leaving you in good company...see..the fairies are welcoming you....all dressed up too..enjoy yourself when I;m gone..come as you are...no dresscode on the Hilltop...!..Stay warm and stay happy..(Its storming today at the Hilltop...there hasn't been any snow yet..only on this blog..:)
