Love has no season....

I was going through Christmas pictures...and found a picture of moms table this year before the food was laid out.  It was even prettier once the food was brought out.  But her table is always nice even if it is just a common Sunday lunch.  Sandwiches taste better at moms...probably because it is served on a real plate with a napkin.

White Christmas 2010

 Coming up my driveway...this is a lovely spot even with out snow.

 Maybe this will be the year we landscape...

I know our neighbors hope so :-)  but for now...our yard looks just as nice as theirs.

The snow on their yard is a cold surrender to the chemical warfare which they rage with the insect kingdom all summer long.  We love these folks...actually we do!  We welcome the bugs and beautiful dandelions to our yard...and our neighbors too :-)

Ahhhhh the only place that I can come and talk on the phone with out the kids!

Somedays I just want to lock everyone in the house and live here.

I would have only bought one piece of furniture...but my girlfriends are welcome for coffee

tea and chatting :-)

The farm next door that we wish we could afford.{sigh}

How did I miss Verona?!

I just watched Letters To Juliet. I don't know how I ever missed Verona...I must look at a map and see if I even passed through. I can't vouch for Verona...but I do know that Venice is much more romantic than Rome. My glass pen from Lyra is still stained with gold ink. sigh

These are the best mornings

These are the best mornings...and my heart knows they will soon be gone.


Nothing is sweeter than waking to your child climbing in bed with you.  He is just two and  I still count his toes,  smell his hair, and study his eyes.  When he grows up and is on his own I want all of those things etched deeply in my heart.

Pancake Sheep

Being iced in can drive one crazy :-P

remember....

Always keep your head warm and the rest of you will stay warm!

Somebody Is Turning 8

I remember the day she was born.
I missed her kindergarten graduation.
And her baptism.
I don't want to miss another important event.
Or moment.
And since she doesn't read her Aunties blog here is her present :)
