Snow, Virtual Quilting and Football!!
Two fun things in one weekend, we got a couple of inches of snow on Friday, just in time to hunker down for Wild Card Weekend. Before the snow came, a new visitor came to sample the handouts. Apparently, Oliver has a buddy. The second little guy has been here before, but not as consistently …
Christmas Memories and Traditions
If you live in an area that gets snow, do you remember your first white Christmas? I do. I was six years old living in Greensboro, when my parents decided to stay with some friends over Christmas. They didn't live far, but apparently a blizzard was on the way, and they wanted to have us …
February in the Garden
In the garden this month, there has been an interesting contrast of dull days and bright color, sunny mornings and then snow followed by days of rain. Just the day before our QOV sew day, it snowed. As I watched the snow fall, it seemed that every bird in the neighborhood needed a bit of …
Snow Birds
There have been a wide variety birds on the feeder this month, particularly when it snowed earlier in December. DH has kept the feeder full of nice cracked sunflower seeds, and I made a suet cake for them too. The goldfinches on the upper left have put on their more drab winter garb. The one …

Beginning of Winter
After a warmer than usual Autumn, we finally got a cold spell over the past couple of weeks, turning the remaining leaves pretty colors. Most of the trees are bare now, but a few remain here and there. This picture is from the last week in November, early morning mist is settled in the valley …
December In the Garden – Snow!
December mornings have been cold and grey these past few days. Fog in the valley shows the layers of hills between our mountain and the next ridge. This might have to become my header photo for winter. Friday morning dawned colder still. As I looked out the window, I noticed that the snow had begun …
Winter White
Now that the holidays are truly over, I like to create a cleaner space after the clutter of the autumn season followed by Christmas. For me, going to to an all white decor is a rest for the eyes before getting to the rich Valentine reds and Mardi Gras colors of February. The snow over …
Winter Projects
We had our first snow of the season beginning Friday afternoon. It started earlier than expected, and I was happy to get my appointments done, attend a memorial service, and get DH from the airport before the road froze. After we were home for half an hour or so, I saw that the turkeys were …
