christmas is coming….
digory found a tree in the woods that he said would be the perfect size for a christmas tree. he didn’t want to hear that christmas is too far off, or that we weren’t allowed to dig up or cut down trees in the provincial park. i think he just wants presents 😆
very orange flamingos
i think these flamingos are eating WAY too many shell fish. they’ve gone beyond pink to orange!
frock swap
beezie is showing off the lovely clothes she got from aunty gill. it is unusual to find her in a dress. she graciously informed me that smidge could have it when she gets home, but i think she looks sweet in it. (she read that last over my shoulder and stated emphatically that she is NOT sweet, she is an explorer!
the second outfit from aunty gill was a lovely pair of knit pants and shirt. this one beezie claimed as her own but stated that smidge would have to get her own shoes as she is not giving these ones up.
beauty in the details
i really need to get a book on local wild flowers, so i know what flowers i’m taking pictures of 🙂 . i am constantly fascinated by their beauty and details, but it would be nice to know what they are called – mostly because i’m a nerd with a need to know about everything i see. would it make them anymore beautiful if i knew what they were? or would the name be a disappointment? “they” say “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” but would anyone get close enough to tell if they knew it was called something like stinkwort? 😆
edit. i have now identified this one as “old man’s whiskers” , and i am a little disappointed ’cause i really don’t see how it got the name. i mean shouldn’t something called old man’s whiskers be fuzzy white or silver at least?
red panda
eating lunch. he really looks like he’d like us to leave him alone, but he’s SO cute.
sunlit glow
sunlight shining through these pussy willows makes them glow as if lit from within
what we got in return
here is an absolutely gorgeous outfit we got from smilga (see link on side to see more of her wonderful stuff!)
beezie wanted to show how nice it looks with her new hair and of course her ever present goggles 😆
we were fighting the wind (blowing her hair) our cat (sure she must be a strange mouse) and strong shadows ’cause it was kind of late in the day. i’ll have to take a better picture later.
digging for gold (or pink)
i meant to add this post before smilga’s gift arrived and i posted the finished quilt. instead you get to see the “before” shot, after. 😆
i’m doing a swap with someone, a quilt for a crocheted dress. it’s a fun idea and the girls helped me pick out the fabric. they were busily diving through a bin of fabric looking for just the right ones. beezie is determined that the best fabric is down below, just waiting to be discovered, noni keeps get side-tracked. “this is pretty she exclaims, “i’d like something out of this….” she looks up beseechingly. ellyce is determined to keep them on track. “she SAID she wanted PINK!” she firmly instructs the other two.
