Prompts for September:
"Christmas Snowman"
&
"Winter Woods"
Above is the first prompt
my Christmas
Snow "Lady" base.
;)))))
I want to add a funky
flower rosette to
her chapeaux
and some little charms....
I had fun putting this
one together this morning
and
I sat here to baste it all down
this afternoon:
↧↧↧↧
On our front patio
beneath our Pagoda umbrella.
This is the first day that it has been
cool enough
(and I was able)
to
sit here in
my favorite little
reading, sewing or just
sipping "after lunch tea"

*********************
Our 57th Wedding Anniversary
will be this coming this Sunday.
I got a surprise "early" gift from
my darling Tom
Isn't it pretty??
I just
L O V E it!!
💋💖
It has a nice size dial for these
aging eyes....and is
encased in rose gold..
my favorite of the precious
metals...
***********************
I had mentioned before that my poor
fledgling magnolia tree had lost
just about all its leaves
and didn't look too happy..
I wondered if it would even
survive this drought!
BUT
All it took was one inch of
good steady, soft rain two
days ago and look what it
is doing....
👏👏👏
Putting on a little show of blossoms again for us...
A M A Z I N G!!
[You can see how our lawn has turned so
brittle and dry--it crackles when you
walk on it,,,, ugh]
**************************
Dinner this evening will be:
Meatloat, mashed potatoes,
applesauce and zucchini squash.

Hugs, Julierose,

DUST OF SNOW
ReplyDeleteThe way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I rued.

I sure hope the Magnola blooming again won't mean it doesn't bloom next spring. So many of my shrubs and perennials were stunted this year from a lack of water.

Love the snow lady! I'm looking forward to seeing her hat embellishments. Happy Anniversary! The weather has been so nice lately. I hope it lasts awhile. It's nice to see your magnolia tree is bouncing back. I hope we get a little more rain. We maybe got 2 inches.
ReplyDeleteBig dial watches are so nice. You can tell the time a glance. My fitbit has a big face too with a clock screen.
ReplyDeleteIt is really getting nice outside here too. Low humidity finally even though t does get near 80 each day.
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteSnow lady is darling! Love your front garden and umbrella too. It's been lovely, Mo and I are headed out now. Wonderful that the poor confused magnolia bloomed. I guess you got more rain than I did.
ReplyDeleteWonderful anniversary gift, it's beautiful and functional too. Love rose gold. Tom is the best! Happy anniversary.
PS Dinner, yum, delish. I made a dreadful shepherds pie the other night, wish I'd made meatloaf instead.
PD I love your poem today, printed it out for my scribble nature diary. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour snowman lady is adorable! What fun to stitch on! So glad your magnolia was helped by that rain. Our trees seem really stressed by the drought here - so hot and dry.
ReplyDeleteDinner sounds yummy! Happy early Anniversary! You have a beautiful spot to stitch in and that snowperson is adorable. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your hubby, Julierose! Love your watch, such a nice gift. You've got a good base going for your journal page. Happy to see your Magnolia made a come back.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. That Thom is a keeper. Love your snowman page. Look forward to seeing it embellished
