Starting to decorate.

The kids are all gone home.Taking a load of stuff.Sure am glad they have a truck.










We had ice last night.The wahoo bushes berries are covered.

The decorations I did for fall got a bit of a change.

The frogs I use by the pond in the summer found a home among the pine cones for winter.When it warms up a bit I will add some color to the boxes and baskets of pine cones.Have a great week.j

Thanksgiving and more

We have been busy. Family has been here for meals and staying over for more celebration with others.
I really over did it with food but we like leftovers and that means I won't have to cook for a while. Best Turkey gravy I ever made. Forgot to take a picture of the desserts.

 We had feathered friends and a rodent that likes to steal the bird food.

I bought some embroidered dish towels at a craft show and made an apron out of one. So cute. 

The last picture is of our fresh tree. I have put a real tree out in the back patio.I love seeing it,it can stay till spring and the birds love it. Of course we had our first snow and it was a very pretty snow.

No wind and really big flakes. Love the pretty snow.I'll do a bit more decorating outside then I'll share. Have a great week. j

Beautiful morning moon

This is what greated us on Friday morning. Reminds me of a Christmas card.

This week.

 A while back I found a wooden box at goodwill.I took the time to redo it this week.

 I brought in the Swedish Ivy plant.It has bloomed beautifully. Messy but beautiful. I am always amazed by God's beautiful creations.

 The sunrise one morning this week. I started feeding the birds again this week. Look who came to visit. Hope you are all well. j

New baby Alice Jean

We got to meet Alice Jean this past weekend. She is beautiful. Love to kiss those chubby cheeks.j

Porch decorations.

I did a bit on the front porch. Shopped in my basement for the things I needed. Only had to buy a roll of burlap and the lights. Have a great week. j.

Fall decorations in dining room.

I love decorating in the fall. I have collected several totes. Opening the totes each fall is so fun. This year we have added  new cupboards where the buffet was.  A nice new space to decorate.Yay ME!!

 I will miss this buffet.We have had it for 43 years. It is going to our youngest daughter. I will miss the space for decorating. Displaying some of my Wexford glass

 These are the first hydrangeas from the bush I planted last year.

 Give thanks to the lord for he is good. His love endures forever. One of my favorites.j
