Warm Weather ~ A Peek at Decor


Hubby and I got more wood split, hauled and stacked.  Our warm weather day was about to turn back to cold, so we worked hard.  We cut more than we typically do in one day, so I was happy.  


I know how some folks feel about working on Sunday, but I had to take advantage of the weather (considering the time of year).  I got all my laundry done, so I only have to fold towels today (as far as laundry goes).

I have to apologize in advance for the next photos.  After wood splitting I was pretty tired, and did not really try to take nice photos.  Some are dark because it was late into the evening.  Here are some pictures from my decorating crew.

This is a cutie we've had for a few years. You press a button to "on" and it snows inside, and plays Christmas music.

The cookie jar.  Everyone needs a Christmas cookie jar.

Youngest made sure it was filled up, ha ha!  I just realized I need to swap out my fall sunflower table decor, for something festive for Christmas.



I have about six or seven of these snowmen. 
 

They are all different, and came from my Aunt.  We put them all over the house, including the bathroom.



Blue flowers tied to each of the lights on the kitchen chandelier.  



The heart says "Jesus is the reason for the season" on it.


And the tree....half of it anyway.  Youngest is still putting more lights on the bottom, although she's decorated it with ornaments and candy canes.  We can only fit about a 4th of our ornaments on it.

It's a pathetic artificial tree, but it will do for this year.  We've had it for years, and when the lights are off, it's not so pretty.  The girls are insisting we buy a new one.  I told them, that if Mom and Dad have any extra cash after Christmas, we might check out prices on sales for a new one for next year.

I've collected snow men for years! When I decorate...I set them everywhere!
I don't know if I'll set Christmas things out this year or not... I'm so finicky... ;)
the firewood is a good thing! We got firewood this week too. Be glad you have a source and the health and ability to cut and split and stack, and carry, and bring in the house...hahaha! all the work that goes along with firewood--
we bought a cord $150 delivered. But we had to stack it.
Love your Santa cookie jar! The cookies look Yummie!
...is it 'yummie' or 'yummy'? (spell check uses two "Y" ... I've always spelled it wrong I guess! LOL...
have a great week.

What a blessing all the firewood is. It surely feels good to look at it all after of it is stacked. The decorations are delightful. I am trying to get in the spirit and put some things up around here.
Patricia, yes I am thankful that I can still split the wood ourselves. Glad you got some wood too.

Kim, thanks for the compliment on our decorations. Youngest is really in the spirit this year.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
