Small things are good things right now. Your cards are beautiful and that pie looks delicious. Even though we managed to eat ours and that was a lot of pie for so short a time. Happy December Nan, and hope it was a happy T day. Hugs-Erika
You certainly have a lot of things to be thankful for. Your cards are beautiful and your calligraphy is perfect. Beautiful pie and great drinks. Thanks for sharing them with us for T this Tuesday, Nan.
Thanks for my happy mail!!! It's the bright light of the day when it appears. The watercolor is particularly lovely. And the cranberry and Prosecco certainly would hit the spot!
So much to be thankful for! Loving all the things listed and cranberry juice and prosecco is the perfect drink to celebrate at this time of year- cheers š. Loving your watercolour and dies, the little bunny rabbit is super cute and those skeleton leaves are so beautiful! That's such a lovely photo of you and the girls too! Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner, presents, bookstore coffee and browse around, made to order breakfasts and dinners, chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas. Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...
and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...
Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions. The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment. All of the lessons of history seem to be lost. I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail. Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views. Some of my favorites: So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water featur...
