Aint it kind of funny how time slips away ♫♫




 
My, where does the time go?  Busy, Busy!  I have been working part time and enjoying that.  I am so busy with church activities, gardening in the nice weather and now 'tis winter in full swing!  Here are some photos to bring you up to date since my last post. While playing basketball with my boy friend John and his neice and nephew, I broke my finger.  But I actually have improved my bone density from doing this (weight bearing exercise) and no longer take meds for my bones!  Hurray!
 


 
John and I planted a little raised garden between our houses on his side of the hedge that yielded onions, carrots, leaf lettuce, and kale.  It was great fun and John's first garden.
 
Below is my backyard flower garden with antique hand plow.








 
 
 

We spent many days and evenings at OYC on the lake and had another wonderful summer of swimming, sailing, listening to bands, friends and awesome sunsets....





Above, my pumpkin vine with a blossom as large as a dinner platter!


 

And then the most beautiful carpet of yellow Autumn leaves I have ever seen in the backyard...






And then came the snow....



 
And it was time to trim the little tree again with all my handmade ornaments of  yore.  A Santa from a flame bulb, a vintage card print in plastic packaging and below a cute little Caroler I painted on a Cat's Paw Shell.


I love them all and they bring back so many memories of Christmas past. 

May you have a most blessed New Year and thanks for coming.  Ya'll come back soon!

My heart to yours

GOOD MORNING

GOOD MORNING dear hearts!  The summer is just whizzing by and the weeks even faster.  I have been enjoying John, sailing, swimming, gardening, dances at the Yacht Club, friends and family with multiple birthdays, graduations, ad infinitum.  and singing with the Praise Group at Church keeps me busy with rehearsals on Wednesdays and Sundays and then the service.  I never thought I would be this busy at my age!! Ha!  Some of the things that keep me busy:

My nephews Cameron and Matt the grad, Mom Amy and Dad Kevin
 


Beautiful Sunsets at the Yacht Club on Owasco Lake.
 

 The building of my new front porch.

John cleaning his Star racing boat....

















Trying to get myself back into painting....
 
 Gave this one to John for his Birthday July 16th.


Another one of my hobbies is finding fresh water fossils.  I found this snail shell near the parking lot at the club.


My wonderful granddaughter Rosemary who graduated from H.S. AND College one week after another!  Brother Seth (2nd year Clemson U, SC to her left), Mom Christine and Dad Jim.  The programs they provide to High Schoolers now are wonderful!  The last 2 yrs. of High School, both of the grandchildren attended College.  AMAZING!


And last but not least a trip to Bucktail Falls with John's Nephew Carl and Great nephew, Tim.  They took a shower in the falls and that water was cold!!

What have you been doing this summer??
