Icy Morning

We are having an icy start  to 2021

Makes for some pretty scenery!

We didn't  lose any limbs,  but this tree that still had leaves is bent to the ground.

East side of  the house is coated.

Over in the Mae yard.

Buckbrush and Cedar  I have in a few places in the yard for decoration.

Dripping off the birdbath!

 

Dried Citrus

I made this dried citrus wall hanging  for the holidays.....it is hanging by the front door. It's ok I guess, but is kind of giving off a beachy vibe..

 

Easter Week

Here is my entry for the social distance  egg hunt that is being organized for our town.   You can an egg up and the families drive around and spot them...so I think this will work and  sure hope the kids have fun looking all over town for eggs!

All the Pretty Colors

I have a net ball scrubbie project on going..this picture shows some of the net colors I am using.  It is fun to match up what colors you want together!

Valentine craft from the Grandkids!  Love how special they are! Mom is so good to make crafts for the kids to give us! love them!

Valentine's Day

I used the grapevine tree I made last Summer and decorated it for Valentine's Day...not so sure about the bow on top! HA! 

but it looks alright I guess....Will maybe put lights on it next year..

Chocolate Pie

I made a chocolate pie Friday for Richard..Kind of an early Valentine's Day thing....I used my faithful recipe that I got from a lady I worked with at school. Charleen was a super nice person...and was gone too soon for sure.

It turned out pretty good....and I may have to make him another one closer to Valentine's Day!

Merry Christmas

Grapevine Project

I started a new project a week or so ago..Making a grapevine tree to decorate at Christmas and possibly other holidays as well.   I started off with a small tomato cage and a big pile of grapevine that I got right here in our yard and the mae yard.

Getting started on it....it's a learning process and imagine the next one will be better/easier

and still going on it...

Have to get some more grapevine and then will finish....will post a picture if it turns out decent at all.  So far has been a fun project!

Happy Easter!

Valentine's Day

Dungeon Diving

I located these Barbie furniture pieces to pass along to Emily to play with...a couple of them needed some minor repairs, but are now good to go!  I hope she has fun with them!

I also came  across this amaryllis plant that had been down there for at least a year....I brought it upstairs and watered it a few days ago and look what it's doing!  I took this picture this morning and I swear it grew some today!  You can also see my little Valentine's display...crystal dish with different colored hearts and  a pretty red glass pitcher!

It

It was so cold New Year's Eve.  When it is that cold a small circle of moisture appears on our glass door.  Tyler had drawn a T and was in the process of writing an E for Emily when someone got onto him for messing with the door.....the end result was this creepy IT  like the movie! Ha!  This picture was taken the next morning..will clean it off in a day or two, but it is worth a laugh for now!

Not sure if I put this on here yet or not, a notepad that I used the last page out of this year.....20 sheets for two dollars...the date on it is in Roman Numerals, made in 1982. Ha!  The year after we got married!  Been around a while!

Snow!

Believe these were taken early on December 23.  Our first snow of the year! 

Merry Christmas!

Here are a couple vintage Hallmark ornaments to say Merry Christmas!

Bacon Ornament

I have used this ornament for a few years...at one point Tyler questioned what it was and I told him it was a replica of an old-fashioned candy...he has decided it is a replica of bacon and this year the first thing he did when he saw the tree was to search for the bacon ornament! Haha!

Richard worked with the firewood this week and brought home this neat nest for the tree...I was careful put it away from the lights...I love it! So cute!

and then he found another one! 

I came home from somewhere the other day and this red acorn was laying in the floor...it had come unglued from it's cap....upon further investigation I discovered on the back it tiny print it has '91 and someone's initials. I knew it came from a craft show....so after 26 years it should be no surprise it came apart...I am fixing it today!
