My dad loved fishing, any day of the week, and time of the year, and that included winter time in the mountains. Although we didn't live in snow country when I was growing up, my grandfather had a cabin up in the mountains and if we stayed there for a long weekend in the winter months, ice fishing was something he was going to do while we were there. I used to tease him that all the fish must have gone south for the winter because I don't remember that he ever caught anything. lol
Anyway, when I was looking for a Bugaboo Stamps image to use for their color combo over at the Catch the Bug Challenge this week, I saw this Ice Fishing image. The colors immediately reminded me of my dad's ratty, old, fishing jacket that was stained and had a few patched holes in it but he loved it and always wore it when sitting out on the ice. He called the color "rusty mustard." lol So, even though they aren't winter colors, I chose this Ice Fishing image in honor of my dad. :-D
I'm still following the "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V. It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January! There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post. Just click on the link above to find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season.

Great sentiment and probably true in a lot of cases! Although the colour scheme is more autumn, I think it does work as that is when the temperatures are colder.
I'm south of the Equator and we are really hit and miss with the weather. For the past week we have had more overcast and wet days than not. It is still pretty warm but nothing the AC can't cope with. It certainly isn't as hot a summer as previous years.

Brilliant and what wonderful memory it invokes for you Connie. Love the colours and the sentiment. I was watching a program about Devon in the UK and a fisherman (sea), said if we caught something everyday, it would be called catching, as it is, it's called fishing. So your sentiment is spot on!
Keep safe
