💛 Watching my niece play in a volleyball tournament
💛 My niece and sister spent the evening at my house

Pretty much all of my joys this week revolve around a snowy week.

💛 A cozy house during this cold weather
💛 Several long walks with Luthien when I had snow days from school
💛 Quiet days at home with lots of reading and project time
💛 Cat snuggles

💛 Seeing progress made on long term reading goals and reviewing great reads from the past year
💛 Time for Luthien to run and good weather for me to walk while visiting family
💛 The cats and all their snuggles
💛 Extra time this week for some canning baking projects

💛 Being home with my family for the holiday & spending time on the farm
💛 Wonderful Christmas Eve church services
💛 Beautiful Christmas trees & lights
💛 Delicious food, some games, gifts, & working on a puzzle with family Christmas Day
💛 On these days I spend at my sister‘s house, Luthien gets to spend hours running miles in the woods, and I know where she is and can call her in thanks to her tracking collar.
