All Parts move with wind



Very beautiful when moving



While visiting a local ice cream parlor Saturday following a celebration of a win by my grandson's basketball team....I saw this sculpture. I was fascinated the way the bowl pieces would scoop up the breeze and put everything in motion. It was very beautiful. It was installed at the downtown WTA Bellingham Bus Station by Anthony Howe of Orcas Island, Washington. It's called a Kinetic Wind Sculpture. How wonderful the mind that can create this piece of art.  Please enjoy.....One breeze at a time.......

Thank You Paper Whites

I'm starting to see something develope here!

There's one in every crowd

Three are playing by the rules..

What we have here is an over achiever..

Now he's off in a different direction..

How beautiful..he created interest & style

I received this from my favorite daughter-n-law at Christmas. After some planning..I was trying to get it too bloom for VALENTINES DAY! In every group there seems to be someone or something that hears his own drummer. It doesn't seem to be any different in the plant world. I thought how fun to record their entrance into the human world. Take four bulbs..add some soil..nourish with a little water..sprinkle with drops of sunshine..talk to them daily..And just maybe...just maybe, they will bloom for Valentines Day..
........One petal at a time..........

Gone but not forgotten !

 I've been saying for about a month now and even hinted at Christmas that I would love to have a new camera. My trusty buddy is about 7 years old and has served me well...but... The view finder is so small and being as blind as I am....some times while viewing, I can't even tell what I'm shooting. Shutter speed seems to be really slowing down..if that's even possible. Well...in the middle of a shoot...the decision was made for me. He just laided down and died.  Not wanting to believe he would leave me so abruptly..with out even a shutter, I rushed over to the camera doctor. Now that I look back, the shooter is always the last to know. Prognosis:... Dead, Died, Over exposed.......Of course the Camera Doctor was all to eager to sell me a new friend. Flash...new camera on board...Now I just have to figure out how it works...I just hate that part of the process. Good bye my friend....Smile....HELLO Gorgeous...One Pix at a time

February Monthly Serve up



Little Bit of Country




Mix & Match




Roasters are noisy but not on a plate




I had to add my little bird




It all starts with BASICS


Time to change dishes out for the new month. February reminds me of Red Valentines and Love. So we must have dishes that are red. I love rosters with their vibrant colored feathers ...so lets do a little country.
I have open cupboards for my dishes in the kitchen and I really enjoy getting a new look with changing out dinner ware. If you don't want to change out dishes..maybe just change cups, or glasses or bowls. You'll be surprised how changing one little thing makes for a fresh new look. One dish at a time..........

Bird Condo



Birdie Condo




Family Cat Angel thinking about dinner!


Here is a fun..fast...projects. Head out to a garage sale. Some times you can find old ladders and when you see them... grab,grab,grab. There is a lot of great projects with old ladders and shovels. When your out looking for ladders..be on the look out for bird houses, or you could also make one.  I found this old ladder and bird house at a garage sale.  It caught my eye because it was red and I love red in the garden.
Take your ladder as is or paint it if you want. Put a bird house on the top and screw in place. As you can see I also added a pole attachment so I can add seasonal or US flag. All done and so cute in your garden. I took this picture last summer as I watched Angel our cat decide if she was going to visit condo up above.....she sat there for a long time and then decided it wasn't worth it..... Have fun with your project imagination .....One step at a time...... 

Little Friend



Say Hello to my little friend

 I have a pair of hand carved wood antique skis by the front door. I removed the Christmas Wreath from door and put it on skis a couple days ago. Coming home, I stepped up on porch and something caught my eye. Turning towards the wreath I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Perched on the top of wreath was a darling little bird taking it all in. I was afraid to move as to not scare it away. Little friend just turned his head enough to look at me and say...Hi..I'm just resting on your wonderful green wreath. I walked as if I was floating into the house to get my camera, I just knew he would be gone when I returned. Slowly I opened the door, camera ready, I peeked around the corner. He looked at me...hi again....Oh thank you...thank you, for staying long enough for me to take your picture for my friends. After a few seconds he was on his way. This must have been the week of the bird....Susan over at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ was watching a Hawk in her yard earlier this week....check it out.......Say hi to my little friend....One bird at a time.

What is it Wednesday?

Oh let's have some fun......I was looking at a picture and I just couldn't figure out what it was....until I read the caption. I thought that would be fun (I think ) to do. Off with the camera I went........ So let's try it....Let me know what you think this is. No hints ..just plain ole brain creativity.  I asked every one in the house and no one could figure it out.  Better half said....you can't make it that hard.....It's not hard just a close-up of something all of us have or have had...Humor Me!.....One brain cell at a time.......
