T stands for tree

-


 This year our traditions are going to be a little different. We will do as much as we can, until the day we can celebrate to our hearts content. 
We will bask in the comforts of home.

We will enjoy our Christmas tree, with the many ornaments we have made and collected over the years.

 
Some of the ornaments gracing our tree.
 
A little help goes a long way.
I love our tree!
We picked up a miniature rosemary tree.
We will plant it outside in the spring.
All that hard work deserves some homemade cookies and a cuppa!
Cheers and Merry Scriptmas!

    Your tree is beautiful Nan. It is always fun to see how other people decorate. Like you, my tree is a mix of ornaments collected over the years. It will be a different holiday this year, but hopefully yours will still be wonderful. And hope it was a nice T day too. Hugs-Erika

    Lovely tree. I just heard about the rosemary tree. I told Himself he needs to plant one. Your script and flourishing are fabulous! Happy T Day!

    Love the sign, that saying is perfect! I may have to use it on a journal page ...lol 😀. Your tree looks amazing with the pretty ornaments and it was so much fun decorating it with you and your family! Of course those cookies look so delicious too, I'd happily join you for a cuppa and maybe try one or two! Such beautiful scriptmas wishes, such an elegant design. Thanks so much for the Christmas card and wishes, it was sitting on the doormat when we got home today, we went to pick up some food orders for my mum and dad and sister early this morning. The envelope is so beautifully decorated too ❤️. Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas, may it be filled with joy, peace and love! Hugs, Jo x

    I love the shelter in place sign, Nan. Your tree is beautiful. The ornaments are sweet and the homemade ones I'm sure are even more special. Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for T this Tuesday.

    Love your santa riding a reindeer! We are just two for Christmas. We baked some, decorated some, and even played Christmas music. We will skype our out of state family and unwrap gifts together. Merry Christmas!

    Beautiful ornaments! I love looking at ours--from the first year we were married, many from the trips we've made, ornaments made by friends and students . . . Your beautiful calligraphy is the perfect holiday greeting! Have a wonderful holiday!

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

Art in Bloom

  Art in Bloom Art in Bloom is being celebrated as a rite of Spring fundraising for art museums and libraries . In museums, floral designers create a piece to coordinate art on display. Local libraries and Chamber of Commerce combine their efforts with local art guilds and garden clubs to host a fun evening event. Libraries, art, flowers…what’s not to love? I decided this was an event I wanted to be involved in, both on the art and floral design aspect. First up: the display case, I asked Fiona for help on this. Here’s what we put together for the event. This is my first year participating, but it provided a great opportunity to put my art to good use. Happy Spring. Bloom where you’re planted.

T stands for Time together

T stands for time together...in Ireland.  Heading to Ireland for a mini break provides a welcome respite from hustle and bustle. It's a chance to enjoy life at a slower pace, and get outside and enjoy nature. There is no place that we find as peaceful, and walking the country roads never gets old. Fortunately the weather cooperated, and the days are long...daylight until almost 10 o'clock at night, which leaves plenty of time for walking everyday. Our range was between 6 and 13 miles per day, making the most of our time outside. Not many people on our route, but not short of company. The dairy farm and creamery is just down the road, so you know our milk is fresh!  Sometimes, after a long walk, a cuppa and a biscuit aren't enough. One of my favorite places to eat is Brown's in Derry. Wine anyone? Yes, please! Seafood Chowder David's choice And dessert.... Brownie, Cream, Raspberry Sorbet, and Raspberries What's not t
