What's Been Going On Here...

The view from my back door.

The Fall colors are beautiful,

and the cool, crisp, clean air is amazing!!!

We even had some frost last week.

 

 

This morning I went out to feed and found

these adorable little babies in the small barn.

Yes, more kittens...we had planned to get Miss Ivy fixed

but we did not get it down before she came back in heat.

I believe a visit to the vet will be her Christmas gift.

 

And here are a couple sewing projects I have done...

The Mug Rug above and a reversible apron below.

 

 

But mostly I have just been enjoying the beautiful Fall scenery and weather!!!

 

Blessings,

This Week's Snowfall...

I couldn't resist posting some more winter pictures.

I know a lot of you are tired of winter, but I think it

is beautiful.  There is beauty in every season.

 Fall use to be my favorite, all the brilliant colors and

 the crisp air and wonderful smells, but in the past few years

winter has become my favorite.  I've been calling it the Sparkle Season

 or saying that the snowfall is God's glitter :)

 

 My chickens are not at all impressed with the cold, wet, white stuff...

It will take more than some water and chicken feed to

coax them out of their straw filled house.

 But the goats are loving it!!!  They have been

running and jumping and having a ball in the snow.

And then there is Gizmo...He's like, "yeah, right,

whatever....just bring me my food,

cause I'm not leaving this warm straw filled comfort" 

 

 

Now we move on to the scenery around my yard

 

  This is looking out my sewing room window.

I have a snow awning...Love it!!!!

 

 

Stay warm and enjoy every season.

Be it weather seasons or seasons of life,

there is beauty all around us.

A Sunday Stroll...

Today has turned out to be a beautiful day.

Just a bit of a chill in the air, but still a beautiful day.

I thought I would invite you to take a stroll around

my yard with me, and get a peek at what is going on around here.

 

Flowers from the front of my house.

We have some early bloomers

due to the very early warm spell we had.

And in the backyard the Goldfinch

                                     have returned for dinner. 

                                    I Love watching the birds.

                                   Their colors are so brilliant!

                                   I have been blessed to have many

                                 different birds visit my yard.

                               Their songs are so sweet

                                and they bring me much joy.

At the garden, these young ladies decided to take a short cut...

They are welcome to cut through,

but once the garden is planted and growing

they best not decide to snack on anything...

or my Thanksgiving bird will be a freeby this year!!!
(Don't forget you can click on the pictures to enlarge for better viewing)

 

Hope you are having a blessed Sunday

and that the coming week is filled with much joy.

Hugs,

Terry

Scenes From the Past...

I have a passion for "old" things, maybe because I am getting older or maybe just because there is so much character and history in "old" things :)  Whichever the case, on a recent drive through the country, my husband and I came upon several old homes, buildings and barns...and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures.  Which means I'm sharing with all of you:)  As I look at these I can't help but wonder what stories these old structures hold within their walls.  I hope you enjoy your visit:)

Good Times,

Bad Times,

Hard Times,

Easy Times,

Struggles & Strength.

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry
