Genie’s Dream House with Old Timey Fencing

SOOC

This precious old stucco house was for sale for years. It looked so sad sitting there with no one living in it.  Whenever I took the back roads to and from school I would see it and drool. There were those "for sale" sheets out front with all the info on it, but I would not allow myself to stop. The front section looks like a little cottage with the main house behind, and there is the sweetest fence all the way around it. Last year it sold, and the people who bought it keep the place in gorgeous shape. I may be getting a bit silly in my old age, but it is sort of magical having a “dream house” as dear as this one to ride by every day or so. I don’t think any of us are too old to dream.

Snow Bird

If you look at the image in the center of the shot, it looks like a “snow bird” with its mouth open for food. I love the way the wet snow piles up on the bare branches. It was just last Sunday that we had this beautiful little snow...and a day off from school!

A Piece of Me ~ {in the picture} ~ 52 in 52 ~ #8

Taking selfies is really difficult. Here I am in my “cellblock” without any discipline referrals. My principal allows me to read, knit, or do hand work...even mess on my computer when I am not inundated with students. The decorations on the OLD blackboard - the only one in the building - are drawn by my little 6 year old granddaughter, Eloise. I am working on the hand stitched and stuffed Valentines I gave to people for Valentine’s Day this year. I haves the Rebel set on timer, and it is sitting in front of my at another desk.
