Welcome to my garden!

Join in my adventures of everyday life. I am trying to live by the saying "Live, Laugh & Love". Sometimes there are tears, sometimes there is a whole lot of laughter, but there is always love. So, enjoy the flowers and enjoy the read.

Snowbound!













Need I say more. Even the dog has dug in. Can you see my car? I barely could. We had at least 14 inches. I am thinking it may have been more.

Decorating for Christmas.....







So, I started to decorate for the holidays. A little bit late, but better than not at all. I felt really guilty about it when my son walked up and said, very pathetically, "So, I guess we aren't going to have a tree this year. Are we Mom?". Well, wouldn't you if he had batted his big ole brown eyes at you.

We started by clearing off a shelf. Then we found a few aprons that I had started making for family members, but didn't finish. Here is what we ended up with.
Ok, this one is before we cleaned off the entire shelf. See all the DVD cases there. Way too much junk on this shelf. I cleaned it up. What do you think? You should have see it before. The whole thing was loaded with tapes and DVD's. Here is a close up of the Santa grouping.



Well, have I impressed you with my decorating skills? Or rather my cleaning ability? For those of you who have been in my house and know how much JUNK I have.

Driving in a Winter Wonderland

So, I had to go pick up my daughter at Clay. In the snow! This is what it started out as.


Sorry about the black frame, my camera just recently started doing this before it warms up.

Yeah an by the time she got to clay it was deeper (this is Nicki by they way the daughter she had to pick up. I stole the computer while my mom is doing something. This picture is when we were on our way back from clay. tee hee i took a lot of these pictures.....Haha....including this one.


She did take a lot of pics. But they are so pretty. This is the kind of snow I like. Where it doesn't stick to the road,

but it lays on the trees so nicely! Here are a few pics of my trip to Clay an back.




These are of the hill that is my driveway. I can't believe that my little car made it up it.


And yes, it was still snowing when we got back. I don't think it has stopped all day.

I will have you know that White Christmas and Winter wonderland have been playing in my head all day long.


And when we reached our little blue house on the hill...


guess what was waiting on us? The puppy that adopted us. He just showed up at our house one day and decided he liked it and has been here every since .


His name is Kyou, (pronounced kee-ooh) Nicki likes anime and she named him. I would have preferred Rex, Killer, Rover...something I can understand. You know!
