WITH MY HEAD IN THE CLOUDS

The other day Destiney and I were on our way home from
the grocery store (Joy, Joy). It was just one of those days when
I couldn't get a good picture of anything...I mean there was absolutely nothing
going on BUT I did have my camera with me just in case.
So...anyway...Just being goofy and having fun with Destiney I just started taking
pictures of nothing particular just random things and these are some of the pics I got.
The above photo is of the road we go down on our way home.

Then I just stuck my camera out the window and toward the sky and I got these beautiful images.
It was a cloudy day as you can see and they are just beautiful.

  So next time you've got nothing really to do and your head is in the clouds, take a minute

and snap a few pictures. You never really know what you'll come up with. 

FROM MY KITCHEN SUNDAY

Today I made this new recipe Lemon Cream Pie, and it was so good I just had

to share it with you. The above photo is before the family got

a hold on it, and below is a pic I snapped before the last two pieces were gone.

So if you think this looks good just wait till you try it.

LEMON CREAM PIE

1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condenced milk
1 8oz. block Philly cream cheese
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Graham cracker crust
Cool Whip

Let cream cheese soften to room temperature. Add sweetened
condenced milk and lemon juice, mix until well blended.
Pour into crust top with Cool Whip and chill for about an hour.
Enjoy!!!

BEAUTY IN THE YARD

Here are a few wild flowers growing in our yard. They are beautiful but looks like it's time to mow again. *hehe
The picture below is of the field next door I thought was very sweet seeing all those little white blooms across the field.




Tree canope in the back yard. It's wonderful having so many tree's surround you.

LEARNING TO TAT

I started teaching myself to tat round about a year ago, when I heard about it on line
and asked my mom about it. She said oh it's a dieing art. People don't do it much
anymore but it is so pretty. Well with life happening all around me I had stored
my tatting things after learning the basics, and decided last night to pull
it all out and see if I could make something for my dresser top.



I found this pattern in one of my pattern books. It's supposed to be a place mat but I
thought if I make it a little wider and longer it would be beautiful on my dresser, so that's what
I'm making. I remembered the basics quite well and finished four medallions and joined them
in one afternoon.

And here is my first finished block...not bad for a few hours work. Now I'm thinking tablecloth for the kitchen
table. I addore tatting now. If you have patients and time on your hands you should give it a try.
It is a dieing art and so beautiful we should bring it back.

A TOUCH OF WHITE

A few touches of white from the yard.
The fish bowl of shells sit on a old chair welcoming the sun.
I love love love bird houses and this one is perched in a small tree
waiting for a mother bird to come make her nest.

A warm white light on the porch waits to welcome old friends as well as new.
And this old stamp machine is just plain cute.
