A Visit From Jack Frost





We got our first frost last

night and the season

for growing is over.

Good bye to bouquets picked

fresh for the table.



A couple of weeks ago 

I thought that this would

be my last bouquet of the

season . . .



But now with our visit from

Mr. Jack Frost

I'm sure this one is 😒

I do enjoy picking fresh

flowers for the table.




Harvesting the last 

of my carrots and onions.




It's been a very busy 

couple of weeks.




Working to clear 

and clean 

the vegetable garden.

A trip to the ER

followed by an appointment

with a orthopedic surgeon.

(all is well . . . I'm 

getting better and no need 

for surgery . . .

Boy, that took a load off!!!




A beautiful gift from

a friend of this little

blue chicken.  She has 

chickens in her decorating

but mostly red, brown and black.

She knew that blue is my color

and before donating to a 

charity shop she asked

me if I'd like it.

Isn't it adorable. 

I love it!




Oh, and I purchased

this new living room

rug from Amazon.

It's one of those washable

rugs 9X12, but it was so 

heavy that I had to roll

the box in.

It says to use a heavy duty

giant laundromat machine.

I can't image how heavy it

will be wet. I'll need 

help when it comes time 

to wash it 😳

Well, if your still reading,

I just want to say

thank you for visiting

and if you have

the time, please leave

a comment.

I love reading them.

God bless you all.

Kitchens for Granny Marigold

 


A week or two ago Granny Marigold 
had a post about the old fashioned charm 
of painted kitchen cabinets 
and how she loved that look. 
She also stated that her husband 
thought it a crime to paint 
over oak cabinets. 
I thought it would be fun 
to look for some very charming country
 style kitchens in wood grain to show her. 
So, Granny Marigold this post 
is for you. 
I hope you enjoy it.



























I thought every one of these kitchens 
had a lovely warm charm about them. 

Well that's my post for today.
Sometimes I think if you 
do a few simple things, 
like purchase new cupboard hardware, 
kitchen rugs, and curtains, 
you can make a huge difference 
without spending too much money. 

Amazon is a great place 
to find cabinet hardware at low prices. 
That's where I bought 
the new cabinet and drawer handles 
for my kitchen and bathroom. 

Have a sweet day. 
And God bless you all. 

You're blogging sister, 
Connie :)

A Quilt For Lucy




Last Winter I started this quilt.




A birthday present

for 

my granddaughter Lucy.




Here are the finished

photos.



The lighting wasn't very

good and the colors

in the fabric don't

show up as actuate 

as they truly are 😔



This is the Back


I made it reversible.











Lucy turned 18 last week

and is starting college

tomorrow 😇

I'm so proud of her. 


Thanks for stopping by

and have a wonderful week.

I'm just getting over 

a terrible head and chest cold.

I hate it when it goes down in

my chest  . . .  but it's

finally breaking up and 

I can feel the healing 😊 

God Bless You All 

your blogging sister,
Connie :)
