Because he built this wood shed with his own two hands.
Because, when I look at all this wood, I'm reminded I have a home. Of my own. With a fireplace.
Because we pretend we live in the woods.
Because of the early morning light and all of the snow kissed branches.
Because I'm grateful that we get to fully experience all of the seasons in New England.
As I look back through all my December photos, there are many joy-filled shots. It was our first Christmas in our new home, so the tree and decoration photos are {cough cough} numerous! But this simple shot is the one that speaks to my heart. Not with a shout. But with a whisper. A whisper that says... all is well.

I love the way your wrote your story and everything your wood shed means to you. It's a wonderful shot. Congratulations on your new home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple, peaceful moment captured through the lens and even better through your eyes. The joy of firsts in your new house, remember them always, each year gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteOh this is what I miss in my city life. There is something so comforting about a wood pile!
ReplyDeleteSnow, wood piled high, fireplace waiting to be filled all in a new home....sounds wonderful to me. I can see why your photograph holds so much meaning for you....Enjoy all the memories you're making in your new home.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to begin a new year, with this sense of gratitude and peace for warmth and safety and love. The wooden shed is a symbol reminding us - that all really is well. The soft glow of light makes a nice contrast to the cold blue of snow.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scene to celebrate a move into your new home!
ReplyDeleteand probably a squirrel or two.
ReplyDelete"Because we pretend we live in the woods." I love it! We moved from the Sonoran desert back to the Midwest three years ago and every morning when I look out my kitchen window and see 5 different kinds of trees, I breathe a little easier. You take them for granted until they disappear from your landscape completely. Lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteAh...to experience all of the seasons...yes! I understand that. Lovely image and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely with a story like this all is well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story - and looking at that stack of wood, oh so much to be grateful for!
ReplyDeleteSweet post! Best wishes for a good year!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo and story! I love it when the snow coats every twig, and the light glows through the trees. I do envy you your fireplace! I do so long for a place of my own and a fireplace or woodstove is at the top of my must-have list. I'm so glad you joined us for Scene & Story. Happy New Year in your new home!
