Busy Backyard!

My backyard was busy this weekend. The birdbath was at full capacity! I was enjoying some photography through the window.

Brian is enjoying the warm day. Hmmm, is he laughing at those sparrows in the birdbath?

He sure seems to be enjoying himself!

I think he has the charm turned on high!

Yeah, he is definitely putting on the cool.

What's this all about?

Aha, enough said!

Ya'll Come Back,

Christmas treasures to share!

My sweety hung the wreath for me today.

Come right in and visit awhile!

This little tree is just inside the front door next to the sidelight. I made the bead snowflakes several years ago. They are another chenille stem and bead project!

A past student gave me the candle holders. I don't remember what happened to the third taper, but a replacement IS on my list. The curio below was inherited from my husband's grandmother. It contains a bird figurine collection. Many were hers and a few were given to me by my sweety.

My mother crocheted this tree for me.

I love the wavy glass in this Stickley mirror. I usually leave the snowflake swag up until February.

The Santa's Sleigh sits atop the hutch that holds much of my depression glass and other mementos from family and friends.

The Polar Express Santa was also a gift from a student. The Polar Express is one of my favorite Christmas books. I haven't seen the movie yet. I'll try to show some of my kitchen stuff soon. I still need to take a few more photos.

Merry Christmas to all!

Moonlight and Christmas lights

Last night, I stepped outside to take some photos of the lights on our house. I redecorated a large wreath with lights, old silver ornaments and white ribbon. My sweety said he would hang it for me today. Of course, a trip to Lowe's will be necessary for the correct mortar anchors! We plan to put it to the left of the garage door.

I wrapped two tomato cages in lights to place at the entrance to my veggie garden next to my "barn" a.k.a. garden shed. I love my barn! A couple of years ago, I even put lights on my barn! I guess I was more energetic that year!

I couldn't resist yet another photo of the magnificent winter moon! The little cloud came along and wanted to be in the photo too!

Merry Christmas to all!
