May 6th Photo-A-Day F
Photo-A-Day F is for fun. F for forest. F is for a very bad cuss word. F could be so many things but I chose F for FUNGUS. Okay, don’t get all excited. I’m not going to show you a toenail or some gross skin condition. I am not that mean. Well, I am but, not today I’m not. You are welcome. Bear and I went on our daily nature walk. I am bound and determined to find discarded antlers. We have so many bucks all year and I just KNOW someone dropped at least ONE antler on the property. Right?!?! Yes, I know…. shiny….sidetracked…… back to my F during this hike Bear and I found these things attached to the base of a couple of trees: Truthfully, I first thought it was a pipe, old lantern top or piece of trash. I asked The Husband and he said it’s a Fungus. I had to look this up cause really? “whaddya mean it’s a fungus??” This thing is SOLID. I mean solid as stone. Yes, I did attempt to remove it from the tree (I really did think it was a piece of trash). However after stepping on it, pulling at…

Light Up A Room With Style!
I’ve mentioned in the past that this house has so many recessed lights. I mean we are talking a SERIOUS amount of lights. My craft room alone has 14 recessed lights. The master bedroom and the main floor have even MORE!!! These folks seriously light up a room. EVERY. ROOM. Don’t get me wrong light GOOD!!! Especially in the winter!! HOWEVER, when you just want to sit quietly, listen to music and relax all that LIGHT is not my idea of a relaxing atmosphere. I started looking around for a floor lamp. A unique floor lamp that would give us soft light. Check out this floor lamp from Wello. The light is 52″ tall. The lamp is 9″ wide so it will fit anywhere! The white linen shade does need to be ironed or steamed. It is really wrinkled when it arrives. So much so that I really hated the lamp at first. I decided before I boxed it up and sent it back that I would try Fabreeze Wrinkle Release on it. That did not work. So I decided to try steaming the wrinkles out. WOW!! It’s like an entirely different lamp. It’s beautiful!! The linen shade is double…
May 4th, Photo-A-Day D
Photo-A-Day D I bet you thought I would post a picture of Bear the DOG but H-E-L-L-O!! We all know she is a fur baby and not JUST a dog!!! D for dark; as in when it gets dark here it gets DARK!! Then I could just post a big square black picture and you would never know the difference. So, I chose D for dishwasher. Not not just any ole’ dishwasher. Ohhhh no! Not me!! A 1962 dishwasher. On the phone with Alice working on a school assignment she had to interview Mom and Grandma and ask questions about when they were in the second grade. I told you already; that made my brain hurt! One of the questions was “What was the most modern appliance you had” Oh my gosh, memory of the very first dishwasher came flooding back to me! We were the hoity toity house with our dishwasher. No one else we knew had one! Aunts, uncles, cousins and neighbors were so jealous!! Everyone had to come see the dishwasher! *you had to really clean the dishes before you put them in this beast. So my first question as an adult is why did my parents…
