Shhh..Sleeping Dog
Well, 2017 has come to a close.
The Christmas decorations
are sort of put away,
tucked in with a few visions
of what next Christmas might look like.
Just can't help myself!
The days are still sunny
but not necessarily warm.
The nights are becoming
colder and colder
and a few more quilts
are added to our beds.
A new year
is a time for reflection
of what came before
but, also,
for looking ahead
to the hopes and dreams
of what is to come.
We all have our own special thoughts
and, hopefully,
they will be realized.
But,
for right now,
let us just let
sleeping dogs lie,
and I hope you will enjoy
taking one last look back
with me
to the top ten posts of 2017
from
Gold Country Cottage...
Our wish
for you all
is a
Happy and Healthy
New Year.
...Judy...
Dear Judy, I enjoyed going through your previous posts, even thought I've read most of them before. We have sunshine this afternoon, but snow still on the ground. I send you wishes for a healthy and happy New Year as well.

Happy New Year, Judy! What a lovely peek back. I enjoyed each post and everything looks so lush, a stark contrast to the view outside my window today! Looking forward to what you share moving forward! Have a great week!! :)
ReplyDeleteJudy, I wish you the same for the new year. I loved seeing some of the hi-lites thru the past year. You home is always so inviting to me. I always like the porch and the gardens. Blessings to you and yours. Stay warm and safe. xoxo, Susie

ReplyDeleteI found you from Krishna's blog. Look forward to getting to know you more as I became your latest follower from snowy Michigan! Janice
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Judy! I missed some of these posts it seems, but I remember some as well. It's always interesting to look back isn't it? We can easily forget all that happened. That's one of the good things about blogging I feel.
ReplyDeleteI definitely remember the stressful time with your daughter and her health. So glad that's behind you all.
