| A few little flowers to brighten the day |
Last year we went out on New Year's Eve for the first time in years, taking in the music for First Night in Charleston, WV. We had a great time and were home in time for a fire to see the new year in.
I will miss being out with people though. Usually we have a bonfire with family, and burn our troubles in the fire. But not this year--this year I think everyone will be doing much the same as we are. There's always the phone to keep us connected.
What are your plans? Are you going out? Staying in? Cooking? Sleeping? Do tell!
Here are some links to past posts I wrote about New Year's traditions, in case you need some ideas.

Starting the New Year Right--more folkore!
Tradition Bound--thinking about family traditions.
And a whole compendium of New Year's stuff!

Thanks for your blog. Lovely to follow and step into a life very different from mine.
ReplyDeleteSolo this evening, nice homemade soup, pink sparkling wine, champagneish, good reading. After a day of sorting all the garbage to take out before the year ends. And art materials to donate at first opportunity.
Bitter cold, windchill firmly below zero f. I had stocked the feeder and there's a crowd of birds, many species, feeding on the suet mix.
Happy New Year to you and husband!
Happy New Year, Boud! I have enjoyed following your blog--as you say, our lives are different but there are core values we share. Blessings on you and yours in the coming year!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be home tonight. No special meal planned & hoping to get to sleep early if the neighborhood fireworks will let me. Even though we're rural the fireworks started last night!
ReplyDeleteI've barely been out of bed since the 14th & had surgery on the 22nd so I'm perfectly happy for a quiet evening inside.
