Much Ado About Nothing

Well here we are… deep into the month of February. Looks like snow is going to skip us again, last winter was chilly with an over abundance of “threat” of snow.

Well, I’m not sad because we didn’t get any snow but…it’s just that I’ve got so many really cool warm knitted scarves,hats & gloves. If the temps linger in the 40’s, well…it’s just not cold enough to sport all the lovely knit things I have… O-well

We did get a dusting…

The snow was deep enough for the birds to make tracks in, that snow was gone by the end of the next day.

I celebrated another birthday in February. Yippie!! =|. Well, I should be happy, I am…it’s just… O hell, I don’t know what I’m trying to say. One thing was for sure, I enjoyed spending the day with my daughter,nephew and Mom.

This scarf is called “Minnie” it’s pattern is by Annie Lee.
My hat is my own, I didn’t write any notes… But it’s cables and bla bla bla.

This is what it looks like in small town America when they roll up the sidewalks after sundown…

So, I was walking over to Starbucks and I looked down and there was a $1 bill…

When I look at this photo it makes me think of that song by Meatloaf… Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. =0

Prelude to a Holiday

Mom and her big teddy bear, Louie. Don’t be fooled now…he is as sweet as they come.

Of course we can’t forget Fat Cat, we compare him to an old man, grumpy most of the time,wants attention when ” he” wants it, prefers to find a comfortable place in the sun and sleep…

My labrador friend Gracey is ready for the holiday weekend!
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!!

The temps are supposed to reach 90 degrees this weekend, it’s quite natural really…the Washington D.C. Area is infamous for its summer heat and humidity! I’ll stay cool sipping my lemonade…

The baby squirrels are out and about, they seem fearless. I went out with some peanuts and it was no time before they were plucking the treats right out of my hand! However cut they are, they are still wild creatures. After that weekend I did not try to or encourage them to take treats from my hand.

Went yard sale shopping Saturday. Found some gems along the way, such as these oak chairs. I have been wanting chairs like these for a very long time, anyway, they are made of oak and they are very rustic looking.

I especially liked the oak leaves, and this little wooden detail.

I am playing with the idea of sanding them down, I got 2 chairs by the way for $5, and re-finishing them with a light oak stain.

This cute little table was another great find, for me anyway =). It’s an intricately carved table with a very dark stain, I think I’ll leave the table like it is and just clean it up a bit, it’s perfect for my plants and I’ve got a place picked out in front of the window. I think my orchid would look regal sitting atop the little wooden table.

Here is a good shot of the table top, yes…I did only pay $3 for it, my husband said he wouldn’t have payed 3 cents for it…he is such an oger.
