Just play along.What does this look like. First thing that comes to your mind? Laying under a group of huge snowy evergreen trees looking up to the sky, is that what you see? Or is it a peek between a few evergreen branches? How about this one? Silver artificial Christmas tree? Does this one below [...]
Looking out my window this morning I was amazed by the scenery. It was as if beautiful landscaping was done in my yard, all in white. Turns out Jack, Jack Frost that is, was doing his handiwork on my window. His intricate art is to be held in awe. Each sprig of frost looks as if [...]
I didn’t have anything garden related to show for vintage thingies thursday so I thought I would share something that would spark a bit of humor on this cold dreary winter’s day. I found this picture among a box of photos that I purchased from an elderly gentleman at a neighborhood garage sale. I got [...]
We took a drive in the 17 degree weather to enjoy the bright sunshine and crisp day. Luckily we were warmly in our heated car as we took in the views. Along the Susquehanna River were these crows on Sumac trees. It almost looked like a blackbird tree with many of them waiting to be picked. [...]

The Paper Whites I forced a few weeks ago have bloomed beautifully! And in time for Christmas. Surprisingly they stayed tall except for one pot of them that finally bent over. I just picked them and put them in a vase. The flowers remind me of snow that sparkles in the light. They sort of shimmer [...]
Here are a few more of my vintage Christmas thingies. As you can see, most of my stuff is very whimsical and fun. I am not the serious type when it comes to my decorations. I like life light hearted so I keep things around that make me smile. My kids (grown up) [...]
