something to think about...

winter is the time to plan ahead...

just look at this porch...

awesome, huh?

cozy...

THE place to be on a summer's night...

another cozy little front porch idea...

shabby...

fun...

this shows its not the amount of space you have, but what you do with it...

another fun space, but I think I would only have pots on one side, so there is room to sit on the steps...

do you do that?

just sit on the steps?

awe, what a space to read, relax and daydream...

bring on the sunsets!

talk about romance...

shabby quaint does it for me...

love the outdoor mantle...

and check this out...

love the teal gems here...

a splash of color for all those white rooms that are out there...

this would sure go with all those vintage jars at the Lakehouse...

are you planning for spring as the snow flies?

I am...

so, what are your dreams?

August 2011- the end of looking back...

what a month that was!

it was a hot one...

and a little dry...

but the blooms kept coming and we were out for late night walks almost every evening...

can't wait for it to come again...

I have a couple more posts put together for you for the weekend, so you all come back when you can...

have a great night!

Happy Friday the 13th...

Loved that gal!

the snow didn't amount to too much here...

its the 40+ degree difference that is hard to take...

which means a little more nap time...

its really hard to clean house when almost every seating surface is covered with a furr baby...

Craig's arm is mending...

its sore...

and a funny for you...

my Bebe can relate...

he wouldn't go off the porch to pee last time...

still having some minor tummy problems...

had to run a few times this morning...

other than that, doing ok...

stepped out on the porch briefly, so I have been outside...

not brave enough to have Craig push me down the street in the chair though...

maybe Rebecca could loan me one of her many sleds!

woo hoo for old crazy people!

we rule!

its here...

does this make you think or what?

something I am going to have to remember...

this morning it began...

kind of cute at first...

but the winds have been bad...

hard to see out on the road...

3-5 inches expected throughout the night...

16 now with a wind chill of -1...

-1!

it was in the 40s yesterday...

needless to say, I am not going out there...

and so winter begins...

for a few days anyway...

5 days from now- back in the 40s...

have a good night...

something to do...

1.  Where do you like to vacation?

In the summer, I'm in my yard...my get away from all the strife...a place to talk to God and its far enough away for me.

2.  Do you have pets?

Hello?  Haven't you been listening?  Bebe the wonder dog, and then there's the cats- Doofus, Daphne, Boofy, Mr Wiggles, Tory and Beauregard

3.  What is your favorite color?

Depends- I love browns in my clothes right now.  I like sage green, blues, teals, and yellows.

Just about most colors except orange and most shades of red.

Those colors seem to irritate me.

4.  How many are in your family?

4, we have 2 kids...that's it...next...

5.  What is your least favorite thing to do?

unloading the dish washer...

cleaning out the fridge... but do it anyway...

go to the funeral home for visitation...

6.  What is your most favorite thing to do?

gardening!

painting...

cooking...

7.  If money were no object what would you like to do when you retire?

if money were no object...

I would buy all the property on my street...

bulldoze all the homes here...

build new ones...

and then give them away...

to the "working poor"...

the ones who have jobs and work every day of theirs lives and just can't get ahead...

I call it my good neighbor plan...

all they have to do is be good neighbors...

no nasties, no drugs...

and in 30 years the deed is signed over to them...

so its not given outright, its something that they earned...

8.   What is your favorite season?

late spring/early summer

9.   What book are you currently reading?

My First Best Friend by Nancy Lindemeyer

10. What time do you go to bed, get up in the morning?
