I never have but this design is quite impressive and it makes this bread look special and almost regal.

Winter is still very much in force out your way. This frost creates an etched glass effect which is beautiful.

I deliver Meals on Wheels once a week on Friday but I visit these people during the week and do shopping for them make sure they have everything they need if there’s a storm coming up I bring my house rabbits to visit them every other week I bring flowers to them during the summer out of my Gardens in fresh vegetables I send them cards for the birthdays and just do simple things like giving them a call to make sure they’re okay you’d be surprised it’s the simple things in life to bring the biggest forms of happiness and the biggest gratitude into your own lives

Quaint shed or tiny outhouse? Hmmnn either one works fine 🙂
Cute window!

Wow, we are 82 degrees here today and the bumblebees are buzzing all over my azalea bush outside my window! It is amazing what a 5 hour flight will change from my house to yours.

I also love these old valentines. I still have my grade school ones from the 1960’s. I treasure them and like to display them each year.

Really stands out against the white world! Reminds us that rebirth is just around the corner!

Lovely photo. The snow looks good to me as we just had a flash flood that ruined our mile long “driveway”.Snow would have worked better for me. ‘

What is this mysterious thing? I can’t make out what is says on the front but I love that rusty patina!

The old Red Barn. Once it’s walls were filled with cows diving into fresh rations of hay and a Farmer who made his lively hood producing milk. The Red Barn intimately knew the cycle of seasons, like when the windows were open and harvested hay was being hauled to the top level for these very cold months. Kitties hung around and kept the mice and rats at bay and were rewarded with plates of fresh milk twice a day after miking. What stories this place could tell of the generations who built it, reparied it, and treated it with kindness. A sturdy barn was key to keeping healthy livestock when the weather turned ugly in the deep of Winter. It was both a refuge and resource and most often the first building put up when settling into a new homestead. To own a nice barn represented a kind of wealth; almost like money in the bank.

What does this lovely American icon hold today?
