Our Front Yard

Boy, was this one hard to take....placing and replacing the camera, setting the timer, running time after time to plop in the snow, and then running back to check the camera. I have no clue how many times I had to do this to finally get a result with which I was happy. Thought it was gonna to be an easy commitment, but I have found out differently. I am totally amazed at the selflies the other participants are posting. They are awesome.

Memories in Red

Who needs a fisheye lens when you have good lighting 

and a nice red glass Christmas ornament?

I {Heart} a Picket Fence

When we were standing on the street corner in Richmond waiting to see Buddy run by in the half marathon, this is one of the houses I saw and immediately fell in love with. Every part of me screamed out, “I want this house!” The picket fence is REAL wood and NOT plastic, and it has a little gate at the front walk. And, just look at that divine glassed in porch reminding me of our home in Florida.A nice and smooth sidewalk is there but covered in beautiful fall leaves. Finally, there is the red trimmed glass front door and those heavenly blue shutters...real shutters and not fakes. Yes, this is my dream house...BUT only in my dreams.

Here it is in black and white, but this is one of those times where I really do prefer the color. It’s the colors that add the perfect touch and make me want to move right in.

Quilt Pieces All Lined up in a Row

This post is linked to “Things in a Row” which is sponsored by Pat over at “A View from the Edge.” The prompt for the week was “quilts” so I am sharing four lap quilts I made a few years back. Sadly, they are machine stitched instead of the little tiny quitting stitches I used for so many years, but they are definitely homemade. It is also linked with "Mosaic Monday."
