A Snowy Birthday

Have to say a big Happy Birthday to my favorite little person! It was cold and snowy last year when he was born too. He has brought alot of joy into our lives. It is another snowy and cold day, so am hoping everyone is careful out there today. Will be another indoor day for me! Happy Birthday little guy!

Bird Magnet

Oh yeah Jack.....I am sure lots of birds are going to come to the feeder while you are standing guard!

My husband hired a friend to build this for me....it's a replica of one that is in the museum yard...

Changing things around

I did some moving around of things the other day....and hanging some new picture frames I got. Not sure about the mirrors here.....would probably look better if it was all framed pictures...still giving it some thought....The larger mirror came from my mother's side of the family....bought the smaller one at a local auction a while ago. Wondering how long it will be until I actually put pictures in the frames...........hmmm I am betting it will be a while!

Sweet Slumber

Sweet Baby Tyler taking a nap on his great-great grandmother's quilt.....so peaceful.......

Traditional Sheet Cake

Used to be a tradition for me to make this sheet cake for different events.....Have kind of gotten away from that for some time, but made one for my husband to take to a work event and then this one for an event our daughter and son-in-law were having.....pretty good stuff!

Spice-O-Rama

What? you all don't have five things of rib rub in your spice cabinet? Including one that was empty? Or three salt free greek seasoning containers? I cleaned out our spice cabinet the other day and couldn't resist making this pyramid! Sure had some duplicates, didn't we? Well, some of them did come from the cabin when we closed it up for the summer.....And my husband does use this stuff, as he is a fantastic cook!
I do believe we are set for salt and pepper.....the smaller tupperware my husband used to use when we traveled with his job...the larger tupperware set are the ones we use when we cook.. The silver colored ones are real nice....we usually bring them out for the extra table at Thanksgiving, etc. Of course these were just the ones in the cabinet.....have lots of other pretty and seasonal ones here and there......

A Mysterious Visitor

Snapped a couple pics of this mysterious visitor a couple weeks ago......He/She came from across the road in the morning and was very shy......ran off shortly after these pics were taken. We used to have a black cat....named Ebony.....Maybe this is a decendant?

You might have noticed the "driftwood" and natural limestone rocks.....you can tell I like things from nature!
