 Work on a heart shaped pillow swap with other bloggers.

Green berries on our Holly tree coming on and will ripen into beautiful reds for Christmas trimmings.

Close-up of  Sweet Pea bloom and leaf.

Finally the purple clematis is blooming.

Alpaca yarn for a special project.
Soft as a baby's skin.

Acorns from last fall.

Weather-worn statue from our landscape.

I loved this theme.

Finally learned how to use the macro on my camera, but have to admit to photochopping the acorns.

GingerV has a tough job this week spotlighting but she loves it.

Share the JOY Thursday

I love the berries on the Nandina bushes.
I love playing with PicMonkey too.

They give our landscape a little color during the winter months and color outside gives me

JOY. 

They have been orange, then red and now turning ripe. 


Tulips are coming up soon, we will have blooms.

Mosaic Monday-Berries, Berries everywhere

Mosaic Monday

Wow, we need some more color around the place.

There are berries for sure.

Had to search through my archives to come up with some outdoor color for today.

Several days of dreary sunless days make color very important.

Go here to see more MM posts.

It is very inspiring.

Might make you want to join in.

Money for gifts seems a little impersonal sometimes but it is nice to choose the things one likes.

I choose to purchase premium membership with Picnik and how fun.

A nice mosaic

 Even nicer and more fun with premium.

Red and orange berries will be with us and the birds for several months to come. I love to go out in the crisp cold air and gather greens and berries to decorate around the house with.

Before Christmas
Double click to bypass sidebar buttons

Outside the icicles are dripping
Inside the lights are flipping
It looks like Christmas
Well it must be 

At noon today the ice was melting but it will refreeze again. 
I love the picture of the berries in ice.

Finally got out to get some for decorating.
Had to spread them out in the garage til all the water drained off, but they are beautiful. 

The reason for the season.

Can't beat holly and berries for decorating.

Well need to go out for some more tomorrow to add to this mirror.

Santa in charge of the phone.

Merry Christmas

               May we all be kind and compassionate

               Even when it hurts to do so.

               Rare it will be to whine.

               Rare it will be to groan.

               Yes, lets all get along.

                Christ showed us all how.

                How could he endure all that pain and suffering?

                Rascals and rogues all around.

                It was his entire life to love.

                So many would not listen, even us, at times.

                Time is now to turn it around.

                May He be pleased with us

                As we try to make amends in this

                Season of joy and love.
