How to survive November 2021 Day 27
I have not lit up candles this year as often as I used, I should they do bring beautiful atmosphere and soft light.
Luckily I have some green candle holders to get the green vibe going.
Our favorite month, November! This year we’ll get rid of gray by painting the month in green. Lepis from Parallel lines has hosted this challenge for years, I have been part of it for several years too, feel free to join us 🙂
Open your world to a green November and enjoy your creativity. How you do it is free as long as it’s green!
Countdown to 2021-3
First, I have to correct all who thought I did anything resembling the decoration in my previous post. No! Those decorations were from a store display – at Aarikka. I will later post my handicraft, they did sell well, but they were unique pieces – all different 🙂 I must try to be clearer in my ramblings.
Secondly, I would like to let you know that I survived the dentist, as far as a dentist visit goes, it was good. Check up, one cavity – fixed. The local anesthesia was given so that it did not hurt at all, that was the first!. Cleaning. Out of the door! Until next time in a year or two!
I took these photos are for FB photo group I am in, the theme is white. One of these images I added there. can you guess what my pick was?
I will be posting new and old photos somehow related to winter, Christmas and eventually anticipation of new year. My aim is to take one new photo a day, but not going to stress over it, if I don’t come up with anything.

Countdown to 2021-2
Here we go, December has started continuing with the grayness of November, no snow, it melted as quickly as it came.
Yesterday was not the best of days, slept badly the night before and ended sitting on the sofa most of the day, not a very productive day. Today starting with an other note. I have something to look forward to, a dentist appointment. I am absolutely scared of it, but it needs to be done. It is only a check up, but still. Thumbs up, I will survive this too 🙂
I took these photos from a display window, and remembered I have done some wooden Xmas decorations, years ago to my boys school sale and I kept few to myself as they sold rather nicely back then. Yes, I will have to take a photo and share it now that I remember.

Countdown to 2021
I was pondering about what to post in December. I liked thatabout November, I did not have to think about the title for each post, it was enough that I daily changed the date. So I voiced my thought and Sue from WordsVisual came up with this title and said she’d join by linking the post to mine.

My aim is to take one new photo a day, but not going to stress over it, if I don’t come up with anything. We started a 3 week lockdown and it is recommended that you basically stay away from people and public places.
Today I decided to repost pics I have in my media library of candles. Time to take out my candle decorations, I noticed I have hardly any out.
This certainly will be a different Xmas season. I think I will have to play some Xmas songs at home as I won’t be hearing in stores, as it’s online shopping mostly for Xmas presents. I will have to put on Sportify and go online.
December 2018 ~ 5
It is dark, it is raining, but at least we colorful have candles.
How to survive November ~ 22
Saturday morning we drove the Helsinki, there is shoe store with very good service and knowledgeable personnel. In May, I one tendon split and other was torn on my left foot, unfortunately it has not healed. So, as our trip to Australia is approaching, I needed to find sandals / shoes that can accommodate my insoles that have been especially made for me. Story short.I got comfortable shoes, but they are not fashionable, that’s for sure. I am not posting photos of the shoes. Lunch, we had lunch and while waiting for the food to arrive I took few photos.

Monday, what can you say about November Monday? Not much. Inspiration where are you…. then there is always candles.
How to survive November 2017 – 20
One more day in November to survive, slush in coming down sideways and for sure I have no desire to be out there. At work I have lit the candles and only gone out to go and have my usual Thursday desert at the restaurant nearby. The shitty weather can look good if you crop it small enough 🙂

Weekend Reflections
Playing with Feathers
Having fun, playing with feathers, different candles and colors. I think this is a better choice than pots and pans.
Soft light of candles
I bought this new decoration for candles and I had to take photos of it, as there was nothing else to do 🙂
Laundry, dishes they can wait and who cares if few dust balls are around, it’s too dark to see.

One Word Photo Challenge: Chocolate
Black and White Tuesday – Light
Kaamos
I tried to think the English word for kaamos – maybe its constant darkness, or polar night. That is what we are in at the moment, daylight time is shortening all the time these photos are about beating it or just it.
Photos were shot at noon
Candles help to beat this time of the year and good food
