Aprons and hearts

I have fallen in love with "garlands"! I decided to use my mini-aprons that I make as ornament/favors for the Christmas Cookie Exchange that my SIL and I host as a garland over my kitchen window. All I needed was some twine and mini wooden clothespins! TADAA!
I also made a Valentine Garland using vintage Valentine graphics from The Graphics Fairy.

It was easy! Print, cut, glitter, punch and thread ribbon through the holes!

Daylight shortage!

I recently made my first Etsy purchase! I got this sweet apron that converts into a bonnet from Paula's Fraker Farms Etsy shop. Here is her post about it.
Receiving it in the mail was a highlight of my week! Otherwise, life is busy, but daylight is short! Our central air/heat had major issues. Now we have a new unit. The teenager is down with an upper respiratory infection and on antibiotics. Not good material for blogging about with accompanying photos anyway! So I searched the archives for some "sunnier times".
Definitely sunnier here. I see the sunburns. (This was building the playset in the backyard)

Oh, sweet summertime. There's nothing like mud between your toes and pond grass wrapped around your body while taking a dip in the catfish pond!

More sunburns! My youngest and his cousins loved to pull a wagon full of big buckets up and down the street and collect toads.

Yes, they are wearing rollerblades that are much too large for them.

Cupcake time.

One of the trips to Goose Island State Park! The boys love crabbing.

Mmm watermelon that Paw Paw and Grandma grew!

The watermelon after the raccoons reached into the ice chest.

A last photo before saying good-bye to that camping trip.

I'm kinda wishing for summer right now!

We've been having lots of rainy weather in my neck of the woods. This makes for a very muddy chicken run! I've been letting them out into the yard whenever possible.

Matilda is enjoying a little jog around the yard!

Madeline just spotted something--is it edible?

Gottlieb and Buffy seem to be after the same tidbit!

Y'all Come Back!
