Harry Potter ambiance

We are fixing up our cargo trailer to camp in and so I thought it needed something on the boring wooden walls. I thought this ancient library wall hanging would spruce it up a bit. Looks pretty real doesn't it? I feel like I'm channeling Harry Potter. (There is a floating broom on the other end).

Golden Trees

What a windy day! We had 50mph gusts and most of the day it was blowing at 20 mph. The sunset reflecting on the trees was gorgeous though.

Fairy Door display

I have been having so much fun today making this little fairy door display to show off some of my favorite crystals, stones, generators, etc. I could have left it a little less busy, but, I just had to make room for that cute little bee..I hope you are all having a great day!

What a gorgeous day for February!

 What a gorgeous day for February! It was 62 today. We sat outside and drank coffee by the fire. I made a crock pot of beef stew, Cheddar Bay biscuits and from scratch lemon cake. It sure tasted good after being out in the fresh air all day! I hope you are all having a great Monday!

Red Hat Pajama party

Red Hat pajama party today! Oh what fun! They enjoyed the musical flying gnome game. Everyone received a Pajama Party essentials bag, including a sleep mask with googly eyes, because a plain mask is just too boring! I was the DJ...One of our ladies was stopped by a concerned gentleman and wanted to know is she was all right, because she was running around with her robe and house shoes on in a public place! Well, bless his heart, you can't blame him. Again....what fun!

Good Bye sweet friend, I will miss you

 I lost a dear, dear friend today. We have been friends since we were 10 years old and she was like a sister to me. The family has asked for privacy during this sad time, so I will honor that by not mentioning her name. I will miss her so much, my heart is broken.

Well, it's been a very nice birthday. Bill surprised me with a cake this morning. We had lunch at Chuck's place where a young couple we didn't know paid for our lunch because they heard Bill tell the waitress it was my birthday...such an unexpected kindness! Then, just now red velvet cake and cookies & cream ice cream! Happy Birthday to me! (the blue spots on me are from the crystals I have hanging in the window) Thanks for all of the lovely birthday wishes, you are all just the best!
