Lame Job/Great Weekend

To finish off spring break week, we took the RV to Marilyn and Rickie's lake property for the weekend. This was kind of like the kick-off weekend for spring/summer. Everyone contributed in some manner to help with all the projects.

My job was a little lame when you compare it to all the others (my arm was out of the sling but I was to be cautious). Don't laugh....I held the trashbags open so Marilyn could fill them with leaves.

Someone had to do it. She said it was a big help--honest.

Jenna trimmed a honeysuckle bush. It had grown in some wild fashion that prevented the gate from closing.

Rick helped with electricity stuff for their bunkhouse project. Hopefully, Marilyn will have pics of this soon over at her blog.

Spring Break 2011 comes to an end. Good news..... spring is here!

Splash of Color

I took these pics while we were out in the RV. The warmth and colors give such hope that spring is just around the corner! Enjoy this beautiful Saturday...

The Birds and a Busy Day

Word spread fast a few days ago that there was birdseed to be had!! Don't you just love watching birds fly around in the yard?

We are getting another day off today due to inclement weather. I'm going to get out of my PJs and get busy on a to-do list!

Have a blessed Wednesday....

Our Snowy Sunday

Texas Blogging Gals have been busy today. If you live elsewhere, then it might not be a big deal but it snowed here today. I know several of my blogging friends get it all the time and LOTS of it! So humor us as we have grabbed our cameras and taken a shot or two. I'm just sharing this one taken from my front porch this afternoon.

Fall Tablescape

I was SO ready. So when the calendar said "September" and the cooler weather hit, out came some "fall" around the house! Have you got some going yet?

Color My World

Wow! How gorgeous was our weekend! I wanted to share with you what I am seeing out in our fields behind the house.

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, 

and all who live in it.  (Psalm 24: 1)

A Few Seeds and A Lot of Sugar

This was a fun place to tour while we were in Fredericksburg. It was a little early in the season though.




I know it looks like all I do is eat! But not really--I promise. This is another one of those famous desserts that we 1) shared three ways and 2) counted as our meal.

It was called "Killer Banana Split."

Can't imagine why!

Walking in "Comfort"

Comfort, Texas is a popular tourist area along the Guadalupe River established by German settlers years ago. We drove the short distance from Fredericksburg to check it out. We had such a great time walking the streets of the quaint little town checking out all the antique shops and historical buildings.

Our First Day of Spring Here in North Texas

Just looked up from my chair while sitting out this afternoon in the warm sunshine. Beautiful buds in the trees.

Spring is here!

Where can I get one of these?

(It doesn't have to be this exact one by the way.)

A Time to Plant Wade

No gardening around here yet. As you can see, we have one slight issue!

And we are due to get more rain.

Dreaming of Spring!

It's still not too springy around here. At least not outside.

Inside's a different tale!

A Sunday Walk Around the Place!

The sun was shining, and the wind was calm. It actually felt like spring.

As God said.........."And it was good."

A Winter Walk Around the Yard

CHRISTMAS CARDS DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

Do you like e-cards? No? Well, see you later. Yes? Then continue.

I like them but really prefer the short little interactive ones. Ashland College up in Ohio has a beautiful Christmas card from the past still posted out there in "web-land." Take a few seconds to enjoy it!

Merry Christmas!

The Bright and The Beautiful

I wanted to share a couple of pretty Christmas pictures this morning. These are the streets in a beautiful area of Frisco. It is Jenna's view outside her apartment.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Happy Anniversary, Rick!

Red and Green Trees

This was taken two days ago. You can tell it was cloudy, but just look. We wanted our trees to match all of the yard stuff this year. What do you think?

Seriously----It's December and our trees are still decked in the seasonal colors. It just caught my eye that afternoon as I pulled in the driveway. I probably should have gotten the whole front view instead of just one part. Oh well, you get the idea!

Tomorrow is the official day for Keelie's wreath party. But we can share our goods now. If you follow me, you will recall I am repurposing one that had been out of use and tucked away. It needed some TLC in the worst way. So, here she is before.............

I first had to remove the "yucky" stuff.  Then I added a few new items. Just because I said "new items," don't fret. New doesn't have to be expensive. Most of what I added, came from Dollar Tree! Woohoo!! Sure hope you like it. I especially like the sunflowery thing. 

I am so glad we were encouraged to do this fun little DIY and get to participate in the giveaway. Happy Fall, Everyone!!

Today is a first time participation on my part for this. I know many ladies have done so. I had recently completed my September "fall" table. Because I got to be at home this afternoon, I decided to share it with you. So, hopefully you will enjoy a little something here. Then later, you can hop over to Between Naps on the Porch and catch some additional tables that will inspire the apron right off of you.
