Peaceful Place

I wish I had a chair and a book and could sit in this field by this tree all day long. Maybe some nice cold Lemon Ice Tea, too. And if a few deer wondered by, that would only make a good thing better.

The best in life is free.

Christmas Surprise

I've given up making picking out the Christmas tree a big drama. As long as it is green and smells good, I don't care about anything else. We pick one that is taller then we are and bring it home still tied up in the twine. And what ever will be will be!

When we cut the twine on this years mystery tree it was perfect. We didn't even turn it to the left or right. Perfect... and it smelled so good.

The lights on the outside of the house look so pretty through the frosted glass and I love the warm glow. We've had a beautiful Holiday.

Fall Flair

The cold snap we had last week turned this little Japanese Maple from green to yellow and red almost over night.

We love this spot down on the lower patio by the fire ring. We've had many a good marshmallow roast down there.

On the Street Where We Live...

This is our street. I love all the trees until it's time to clean up leaves and bark. It comes down year around and then more so with the wind and rain. But I still love it here.

Leaf on Rocks

The Japanese Maple is shedding its leaves. A sure sign that our winter is upon us.
