Truth About Bread

Bread is like the sun. It rises in the yeast and sets in the waist. ~a meme I saw on Facebook.

Ahahahaha, true!

On the Windowsill

Ripening garden tomatoes.

Are we having fun yet?

nothing more beautiful in the whole wide world.

Drizzle Happens

The little chicks and hens depend on it.

We have a lot of work to do. Our cute little guest gazebo has sprung a leak in its very old Cedar shake roof. The deck needs some TLC as well as a few other things..

Office Flowers

Gimme that old time religion. Call me old fashioned but bring back the hymnals! We want to follow along our parts! Oh, while I'm at it, we don't need the band, just sayin'.

Little Old Wagon Wheel

Macro Mondays - Decay

Slice from the past. One wheel is the only surviving bit of that cute little old wagon that once lived in the backyard garden. For perspective, photo is under 3" side to side.

Cute as a Bellybutton, AZ

Small as a bellybutton too, maybe more cows than people! Between Snowflake and Taylor, it's the smallest of the 3 communities. So small that by the time you see this sign, you're already halfway through... picked up a dozen farm fresh eggs at their farmer market today.

Patience

Didn't notice the cute little bird waiting out the pitter patters when I took this picture.

There Goes the Sun

Every night, a brand-new sky specially designed by our Supreme artist.

When You're Unique

You don't have to worry about fitting in when you're custom made.

Macro Mondays - Wallet 

Do RFID wallets really work? Yep! Mine securely holds about 10-12 cards and the RFID part prevents unauthorized scans... plus, it's pretty!
