Good Morning World

( I woke up with a whole flock of these in a tree outside my kitchen window)

Snow!!!!!

Snow how I Love Thee!

Let me count the ways...

1) Your Beautiful white color makes the sunshine look so brilliant

2) You have the ability to draw the young and not so young out into 20 something temperatures

3) How you keep us all out in those below freezing temps for hours

4) And You keep us out there just long enough to need a warm cup of cocoa when we come in (not that we really need a reason for cocoa)

5) I love they way your dusty flakes get tossed about by a gentle breeze and sparkle in the sun

Oh how I Love Snow!

Fun Little "Frosty"

We shall call his name Frosty...
...and he shall be our snow man!

...TIME!...

(hand sewn by Dallas for some one special, he also took the picture)
...take a moment and remember why we celebrate...this year we are focusing on TIME together...that is the best gift you can give or get...time with some one you care about...time helping...time loveing...time playing...So if any of you see that "Empty" place in your stocking...just remember some of the best gifts you can not see... maybe that invisable gift is Time...

Fabulous Friday!

Who needs words!?!

Tremendouse Tuesday!

Dallas made his first scrammbled eggs ALL on his own!!!!!!!

(and with eggs from our own feathered friends)

Wondering Wednesday!

Today was another beautiful New England fall day!

We all did lots of wondering, from the park, to making a tent,

to enjoying the great and sunny blue sky!

I even caught a glimps of one last hard worker, storing up the last little bit of summer.

I even got to enjoy a little out side knitting!

Boy do I Love ALL those sun kissed little Faces!

Looking In...

Thought I would start something new today...So here goes!

Looking in...

...my kitchen window...Trace and Aliza doing dishes...

Love those sweet kids!

So what do you see...Looking In?

Happy Monday!

So this morning I actually made breakfast! Wow!

Not really ever been great at the hot breakfast thing,

but thought I would try again. And to my great delight it ended

with many full and happy tummies!

I thought I would try a bagel version of an oven french toast.

I took and 8x10 baking dish greased it with butter, cut up the 3 bagels into discs tossed them into the pan, then beat 12 eggs (yes 1dz. this is why we got chickens) so again 1dz eggs beat with 1 cup of milk, pour over bagels in pan and bake at 350 for about 25-30 min. Sorry I wasn't paying close attention to how long it took. Just wait till it looks like the egg part is fully cooked. Then I made a sauce with some melted butter, syrup, and some homemade blueberry jelly. Then poured it over it as soon as I took it out of the oven.

And here are some of the happy faces!

Hope you also have a Happy Monday!
