Sweet Saturday #8
Hi Everyone, how's everyone doing this Winter?
This is the first "Sweet Saturday" post of 2018.
It's getting to that point of Winter when I fantasize about living in a warmer/tropical place, though I do love the seasons, those cold blasts we got in the last few weeks were rough to endure.
Below is a photo of my son and I walking around our yard on a day over the weekend when it got up to 51 degrees.
It was super muddy but really nice to walk around outside without a heavy jacket and my face hurting from the cold.

#6 - Entertainment - I have been binge-watching Season 1 Victoria this last week on Amazon Prime, now that Season 2 is on there. I have also been watching Season 2 of The Crown on Netflix (You may have seen me watching episodes on Instagram stories) - it's soo good. I guess I am a British Monarchy show junkie. Eric and I have been watching Electric Dreams also on Amazon and we have been enjoying that, although I find I really have to pay attention to some of the episodes, or else I get confused by the end. I've been loving all the futuristic imagery, costumes, and sets. In the Winter, we definitely watch more streaming TV than during the other seasons. What are your favorite shows? Any recommendations?
