November is the start of the darker time of year. The days are shorter, life is much more concentrated on the inside and the promise of a cold winter is in the air. In that time I like to get as much light as possible. Wherever I can find it. Heat too. Especially if it comes from the stove. I like to potter about in the kitchen more and more these days. I made some great turkey meatballs in tomato sauce and a delicious version of creamed spinach (with fresh spinach obviously). If you like I can write up the recipes. The meatballs especially are tender, juicy and foolproof! On the other front, I have been cleaning the house, preparing it for the cold season. Some do spring cleaning, I like to add autumn cleaning to that as well.
Beni has been enjoying the days as well. He likes to get every bit of sunlight and then enjoy some of his treats in bed. I hope the darker season has been treating you kindly so far. Thank you all for the lovely comments and feedback on the Iceland travel series. It has been a blast so far writing about it and editing the images. I will link up the latest parts down below, and you can expect three new parts within this week.

Dear Mersad,
ReplyDeletefinally this morning I have a blog post with some shots of mine which allows me to participate to your link-up party !
Thanking you for sharing a so lovely post of yours,
I'm sending hugs and ever much love to you
XOXO Daniela at ~ My little old world ~ (Dany)
Thank you Danuiela for linking up. Loved your post.
Deleteyour dog is a cutie. Sometimes I wish I could have one, but I am allergic :(
ReplyDeletewell that forst shot is superb and you are certainly busy with more indoor activities and I see Beni is relaxing with his treats. I certainly would like the recipe for the creamed Spinach as I try and eat as muchof it as I can. I have a Nultibbulet and use 2 handfuls ofspinach in it along with 3-4 ffruits + 1 teasp flax and water to make a very healthy ddrink for breakfast. Thanks for hosting and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteLoved the post. Helloo cute Beni :))
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
Greetings.
...such a wonderful sky!
ReplyDeleteBeni looks so sweet in the sunshine in that first photo. hi Beni, hugs and kisses from across the pond. I just love your home.
ReplyDeletei like you attitude, silver lining/bright side, everything dark day has one. i also cook a lot more in the winter...and i really enjoy it. i have a "secret" meatball recipe that i have shared here that i LOVE, i think everyone has one!!
ReplyDeletei really like the clean, uncluttered look of your home, mine has too much stuff, especially my office.
beni is clean and adorable, very well groomed!!!
November is so dreary. I like to putter in the kitchen too. The spinach looks great.
ReplyDeleteI celaned out 5 garbage bags for charity last week!
With your sunshine and open window, it looks much warmer there than here. Beni looks like a happy dog. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love creamed spinach! Wow, is it November already? We have had two snow flurries now...last night's didn't stick. I love bundling up in front of a fire...just hate it when I have some place to be. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeni looks like he's annoyed that YOU get the meatballs!
ReplyDeleteRest assured that he got some of them! :)
DeleteThat is one cute dog!!!
ReplyDeletelove your dog :)
ReplyDeleteHi :)
i'm a new follower of your nice blog, can you follow mine?

Very beautiful photos. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThe dark days of winter are quickly showing themselves to us in Greece. Love your thoughts on warmth and sunlight. Yes, would love the recipes you mentioned!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some warm corners before the dark of winter sets in. We are hotting up for summer here! Have a fabulous week and thank you again for the link up.
ReplyDeleteYour cold and dreary time of year is our spring into summer. I apologise that you have to endure so we can get some sunny and warm days :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been in dark mood recently, Mersad ;-) Food looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.
We are heading from Spring to Summer at present, although it really just moved from a mild Winter straight to Summer. We have a an extremely hotter than usual Summer forecast which will be rather unpleasant as we don't have air conditioning or a pool!
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading your Iceland series!
Glimpses of everyday life are the best!
ReplyDeleteBeni is SO cute! He loves his treats--ha ha! My dog Bailey puts himself to bed in the evening. He's been a little confused due to the time change. Early bedtimes. Your living room is so appealing.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing, as are your stories. I'm a fan.
ReplyDeleteI truly like you're composing style, incredible data, thankyou for posting.
