Clouds Over the Mountains
Sometimes it is really amazing how the view from our home changes. I was sitting on the veranda, just enjoying the cooler air when I noticed how beautiful the clouds were over the mountains across the valley. The sun was setting, rain had ended a short time before and the light was fantastic. So, I …
State Fair Ribbons 2014
This has been a very busy time between volunteering for the Friends of the Library book sale and helping with setting up the quilt competition at the State Fair. The Fair opened on Friday and we were able to go that afternoon. It was a great time to go because the crowds were smaller and …
A Perfect Picnic
We have picnics quite often here in the lovely mountains where we live. We go to lots of shows and festivals through the summer and autumn, sometimes to show our car, and sometimes just to drive someplace pretty, or hike to a waterfall. We mostly enjoy just getting outside, seeing beautiful places and enjoying the …
Weekend in the Garden
It was a nice weekend, and time to get some clean up done. I pick up my torenias next week, and I plan to get some plants for both the garden and the veranda pots. The azaleas are coming into bloom! These white ones are my favorite, and are in the front of the house. …

Early Garden
Walking around outside today in the sunlight, it is about 66 degrees and calm. It is so quiet, like the season is holding its breath for a moment while the flowers get ready. A couple have started to show their faces. These are the crocus flowers that were mostly closed and dusted with snow, was …
A Promise of Spring
As I poured a hot cup of coffee this morning, I opened the shade on the window over the kitchen sink and saw a scene of quiet beauty. Overnight there had been a light snow, like the world had been dusted with powdered sugar. This happens several times each winter in our part of the …
