My latest travels.... a photo that defines it.

This little bicycle stopped me right in my tracks and I had to take the picture! It started snowing again right after I took this, like a soft, cold, single, blessing.

New Year and New things ...Looking forward ♥

Yep! They are engaged! ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥

Christmas is made of this ~ Love

And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10,11

For His sacrifice, let us be thankful. Let us celebrate the true meaning of Christmas as we endeavor to love as He loved and give as He gave.

A few of my Favorate things help me feel "not so bad"

Raindrops on roses








and whiskers on kittens,










bright copper kettles

and warm woolen mittens,




brown paper packages tied up with strings,











these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies



























and crisp apple strudels,





















door bells































and sleigh bells



and schnitzel with noodles.












Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.






these are a few of my favorite things.





Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,









































snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
















silver white winters that melt into springs,
















these are a few of my favorite things.


When the dog bites,




















when the bee stings,


















when I'm feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

and then I don't feel so bad.

Monster Lemon

Monster Lemon

If you only grow one at a time... it better be good.

This is my Monster Lemon and how it came to be....
My little lemon tree is pot bound and stays indoors for half the year, here in the northwest it would freeze if I left it out on the deck. About a year and half ago, I noticed it had some flowers blooming, it did before and no fruit was the result. Since there are no bees to pollinate it inside, I used a little q-tip and patted each of the flowers. Out it went over the summer..... Here is a close up of the Monster lemon on the tree during last summer, as it grew.

There is another lemon growing right now, and some new flowers... maybe I will get another monster! ♥
