Waiting for Spring

Picture of my "drying rack"....I saved several zinnnia heads this summer to use as seeds next Spring...That way I got to pick the colors I wanted, although all the colors were pretty. They are good and dry now so I need to store them away until Spring. Hopefully I will remember where I put them!

Cool Caterpillar

I saw this cool caterpillar on a vine in our yard.....At first it had these little white things all over it, which apparently is some sort of wasp larva.....The next day the larva was gone. It's pretty neat what nature provides for us to see when we take the time to stop and actually look.

Auction Finds

We went to an auction in a neighboring town last weekend..Had a great time! We bought this big cast iron pot.........My husband likes these alot...

Bought some chairs for the cabin at the river...

Love, love, love this table! Has decorative carving along the sides of the top...and the claw feet....wonderful! Haven't decided where to put it in the house yet, but I will find a spot....

Colorful quilt.....lots of red and yellow...it is trimmed in red also. Tried to look up the pattern, but haven't found out what it's called yet. some of the pieces are sooo small.....I think it's great! Quilting is such an art!

A random assortment of things in a box we had to buy to get the tin....mostly worthless, I suppose. I do like the item on the right side with the cats on each end...maybe it's for crackers?

Very scary squirrel! There were also two skunks made like this in the box too....

The tin. It just happened to be completely full of old hair curlers..lots of hair curlers!

Cool wire egg basket...it was also full of misc. items...we had already emptied most of them out.

Had a really good time at the auction. Enjoyed visiting with the kids alot and the weather was wonderful.

Dirty car

I drew the happy face on the back glass of our car. My husband caught me drawing a second one and asked me what I was doing...so I drew a crazy mad face on the second one. Maybe I should just wash the car?

Where to put it??

Bought this cute little ladder-like deal a week or two ago. I thought I may be able to display some linens or something on it....Only I really don't have any place to put it in my house....Will have to figure something out!

Special Kitty

The current stockpile of special kitty for our old cat, Tippy. She uses two cans a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The dry food was getting difficult for her, so cans it is. Sure makes an attractive addition to our kitchen counter! The tupperware container is my container I put my lunch in for work everyday. I have about worn it out! Must be time to retire!

Long Lasting Petunias

This hanging basket of Petunias still looks pretty good. Actually this summer it was about done for and I nursed it back to health. Late October....not too bad.
