I bought this at a court house lawn sale in a small town near here.  An old farmer sold it to me for $5.
I was absolutely thrilled.  It’s a beautiful hand wrought tool that has withstood the test of time. Â
It looks like the Devil’s trident or pitchfork, and it kind of reminds me of Neptune’s [...]

 There isn’t much scenery around here that isn’t snow covered.Â
These waves looked more like they should be slapping against the beach instead of drifted in front of my garage. Â
I sent my son and his best friend out to clear the 3 foot drifts so  I could eventually get my car out of the garage.  After [...]

Today is my 200th post and I ask myself ….  Why do we blog? 

For some it is a journal that evolves into understanding one’s self.Â
For some it’s a hobby. Â
For some it’s a way to be connected to others that like the same things.Â

For some it’s just plain fun!
Whatever the reason [...]

Have you ever played this game?Â
It is said to be of French origin and go back to Victorian times.  Women would pick the petals off a daisy to find out if their suitor really cared for them or not.Â
The words said pulling off the last petal were the words to believe.Â
I think it’s accuracy [...]

This metal flamingo was on the screen door of a little “summer house” in my husband’s back yard, growing up.  It was there as long as I remember and we started dating at 15.  I would say that it qualifies for vintage.  The house was really a screened in porch attached to the garage where [...]

 I am glad to be participating in Pink Saturday.  It gave me a chance to pretend it wasn’t 10 degrees outside as I sorted through my flower photos.Â

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.Â
The flowers remind me of snow that sparkles in the light.   They sort of shimmer if you [...]
