IT's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I saw Birch Bark candles in an ad for Pottery Barn. My sister has a frame and a mirror like that so I thought candles would be a perfect gift for her. I peeled  bark, glued, and added decorations.

Love this Photo

Each summer we drive by this strip of land where a farmer plants massive fields of sun flowers. When Jen was home for labor Day I insisted we stop and take a photo! These are Jen's fave flower!

I am grateful for the little things -- a cup of hot black coffee in the morning. You can keep those fancy coffees whipped up with creams and sugar! Just make mine black!

A Thank you Card

November 2

I was outside enjoying another sunny, warm afternoon. The milkweed pods have opened and are scattering in the field.

It's November and I am Thankful!

It's November and time to give thanks and be thankful! I have so many things to be thankful for - a wonderful family, a roof over my head, food to eat and the list goes on. I am going to take some November photos and document some of these things.

November 1

I am thankful for warm sunny days in November in Michigan!
The past two have been quite nice. We have a chandelier in the front hallway which makes rainbows on the wall when the afternoon sun hits.
