No snow...

 but we did have ice on Saturday.

The table on the patio glittered.

The top of the table is the register cover which
is from the house where I grew up.
The bottom is an old Singer sewing machine base

There were some visitors to the bird feeders
this weekend.

And then, on Sunday morning,
I heard this this fellow before I saw him,
a pileated woodpecker.
Isn't he a beauty? and take a look at
the hole he put in that tree.  

All you need is Love...

My little love with our new Love sign...Can't believe I took this photo
 outside just a few days ago,
no coats needed,
but a tutu was a necessity!

Today we're having sleet and snow.

An 8x8 inch worn look, painted wooden sign
with a hand stenciled crimson heart.

Just in time for Valentine's Day
now on the website

I see the moon...

Time in the Winter Garden...

Searching for some Color...
any color but gray.

Some bright moss greens putting on a show.

And of course the always growing ivy
which I try so hard to get rid of every summer
 but am maybe???
happy to see its veined leaves
when everything else is gray.

A few fern fronds are peeking
out through the leaves. 

The best color found however is the lovely red
of berries on the bushes in front
 of the Workshop.

Doing the things...

First I Drink the Coffee Then I Do The Things

A busy day for me...
Lots of "things" to do in the Workshop today.
Hoping the coffee helps!

Dumplin' Day...

It was a day with the Dumplin' yesterday.

The littlest of our Littles 

just loves cars, trucks and 

books about cars and trucks.

Gramps found him this red Camaro
and he carries it around with him everywhere.
One day his Gramps will have to tell Dumplin'
the story of how he married me so
he could get his hands on my 68 Camaro.

and Lucy...he also loves Lucy!

I Love Lucy...

Heading back to the house from
the Workshop this afternoon.
The Lucy look I got when
I wasn't moving fast enough.
"Hey Mom, it's cold out here! You coming?"
