Same day, but the evening~~~

 Beautiful sunset~~~~The horses are enjoying the view too~~~hint of pink in the locust grove in the background~~I have found in the last year or two I can enjoy the beauty and snap pictures at anytime of day~

a quick glimpse of the early morn~~

 Just happens when I took these yesterday morn~~~ My Sis says I caught the blue hour!!! I have seen her photos that she has taken in the eve of the blue hour~~~I was excited to catch a different scene that was so neat!! The little wood ducks swimming was actually the reason for the photo  ~They are enjoying the early morn.

Amazing views out my window~~

 Such Spring snow storm~~but in all it's wonder the view is beautiful~~~with all the snow , the geese were swimming on the pond~~~every season has a change in  the view out our window~~~

Such a wonder ~~


Just a quick glimpse of a rainbow, that did not last very long~~~

Just at few days makes such a change~~

This was on Sunday~~ with the snow and the warm air there was a mystic fog everywhere!!

A Taste of Spring~~

Oh such a beautiful sight to behold~~The snow has mostly all gone and we had such a wonderful warm day~~~ We set out on our favorite spring seat~~tailgate of the truck and just enjoyed the warm sunrays~~ It was so nice to not have on a coat~ so many things to be done, but will have to wait a few weeks as they call for cooler temp tomorrow!! We are so thankful to see water up to the dock~the drought last summer drained our pond so much~~This is our peaceful view that we planned our house around~~~ the view from the kitchen window and the deck are so beautiful , no matter the season~~

Just want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day~~~I have had fun putting this together~~ I  have many plans of displays I want to share soon~~ Today was a taste of Spring here~~warmer and some of the snow left~~We will all be looking forward to that first hint of tulips and jonquils peeping their pretty faces thru the grass and leaves~~So many plans for the spring  planting~~~


These little bluebirds are from (cousin)Sister~~~every time I look at it I know of the love we share as Sister's~~~

Happy St. Patrick's Day~~~

Made me a pattern to make a Shamrock~~~Buttons from my MOther-in-Law's tin of buttons~~she loved to collect them. I have used so many of them in crafts~~sweet memories-a vintage card that was in my collection-
