A walk in the snow, one of my favorite things!

It's such a beautiful snowy day! I took a walk when the snow first started and it was so quiet you could hear the flakes hitting the dried leaves..I have only been back about 30 mins. and you can not see the ground anymore! Here are a few photos...I hope you all have a great Saturday!

Some new projects

I hope you have all had a good day. I had frozen apples and blueberries from last summer, so I made blueberry applesauce today, it's our favorite. Finished this tiny mushroom house/night light, made with homemade clay and a jar. For supper we had deer roast with carrots and broccoli and now we are finishing up season 7 of American Horror story.....simple pleasures, ya know....that's what makes life worth living.    





Here are a couple of labyrinths to use for meditation..If you don't know about them, they are the same thing as the outside garden paths in many church yards.  The idea ia to follow the path to the center and then return the same way...both of these come with affirmations and meditation quotes on front or back..

Jericho Rose

Since we've been snowed in, somewhat. I decided to revive a resurrection plant. Have any of you heard of it? It is also called Jericho Rose. It stays "dead" for years tumbling around the desert until it comes upon some water, then it opens and turns green within a few hours. So I tried it, it didn't get very green, but was fun to watch it open in just a few hours. You can let it dry back out, put it away and revive it in the future .Here are a few pictures...it's really pretty ugly..lol., but you are supposed to resurrect it during the full moon to erase negative influences, and bring peace, harmony and abundance into your life....either way...it was interesting.

Visit with the kids and the snow storm

Before the weather turned to a nightmare, we went to the monthly indoor flea market in Belleville, IL. We went to lunch, then to visit my son, Darren, who works at INKWELL TATTOOS in Fairview Heights, IL. It is Saturday and they just opened, so we didn't stay long, there was already a line of people waiting. We had just stopped in to say hello anyway. Then we went back to Belleviille to my daughter-in-laws adorable little shop, SINCERELY, THE CRAFT. She had just made this cute candle in a cast iron pot with two quartz crystals, lavender buds and a dried rose, so cute and smells great... now, it's mine! So we had a lovely day and we knew when we left this morning that we would be caught up in the weather, thankfully, it all turned out fine...have a good evening all!
A weather warning to my facebook friends when we first got home.......
People, if you don't need to go out, don't! The roads are treacherous! We just got home from Belleville about 20 minutes ago, and it is very bad from there all the way to Kinmundy....! Several cars spun out in front of us at different places, and several ran off of the road..
