Every day I get a different view out my bedroom window. I was intrigued by the drops of water on the ended of the bittersweet vine as it began to grow this past spring. Grateful for happy accidents like this one! Windows into the blogosphere: Cake Take Flight Heart To Heart Windows Magical Windows Reflection … Continue reading Window View

Fall Magic
I recently took a walk on a bright, warm and sunny, fall afternoon. To me the colors of fall in New England are "Magic"! But this one, once I made some changes with the Pixlr app, looked just as magical as anything I'd snapped in color. It's Queen Anne's Lace which grows everywhere around me, particularly … Continue reading Fall Magic
Flower Frame
The Weekly Photo Challenge "Frame", brings me once again out to our garden. This year Steve was able to grow HUGE sunflowers. He did everything in the garden from seed this year, and as you can tell this bee [framed by the beautiful petals and seeds of the sunflower] is having a grand time of … Continue reading Flower Frame
Cat Chat
I just came across this draft of a post from 2013 that I never published. I still like it, so here it is. Our cat still sits atop the jelly cupboard every day, perhaps with the hope of a reply from the faces in the picture...who knows really what cats are thinking? The Weekly Photo … Continue reading Cat Chat

She does not have … Continue reading Lucille (weekly photo challenge)
I Had to Look This One Up!
I'll admit that for the Weekly Photo Challenge I had to look up the word "ephemeral" and when I did found this: "something short-lived, lasting but a moment". The first pictures that came to mind were the ones taken of me rather than by me. These two are among some of my recent favorites and … Continue reading I Had to Look This One Up!
Serenity
One of the times when I feel "serene" is just after a snowstorm, the deeper the snow, often the more serene. Everything feels clean, quiet, and peaceful; if that's not serenity, I don't know what is!

Finally, The Sun
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Warmth." It has been a very long month of rainy, raw days this December. The sun could not feel better! Our cat, Missy, loves sleeping on this chest next to the window and the heater. She won't even let the laundry basket get in her way! Warm Bloggers: Hungry … Continue reading Finally, The Sun
Twinkle, Twinkle
When I was growing up we had the bigger, primary colored lights on our tree and on the bushes around the house. My favorites now are white lights. I'd keep them up year-round if I could, I love how they twinkle! This picture is Christmas tree 2014. The smaller photos around the edge are highlighting the ornaments … Continue reading Twinkle, Twinkle
My Cookbook Cover
Using fresh ingredients in baking or cooking is always best, so say the experts. When I read the Weekly Photo Challenge prompt ...imagine the cover of a favorite book, music album, or magazine; I could immediately see the cover of my future cookbook (another dream of mine). I took the picture this past summer when … Continue reading My Cookbook Cover
