Rock O Lanterns

We sit atop a hill which is a drag to walk up but when the rains come we are happy to be "High & Dry". We were very fortunate that the only effect Hurricane Sandy had on us is we were without power for several days, not a week or 2 like a lot of people, or much worse like far too many people. Halloween was kind of a wash this year because of the storm so we didn't get to paint our "Rock O Lanterns" until Thanksgiving. As always lots to be thankful for.

The amazing David Oleski

At this years annual New Hope Art & Craft festival I saw for the first time David Oleski's awesome paintings. I love everything about his work.

Fall...Really what's the appeal?

I appreciate color probably more than the average person but having to wear extra layers because of the damp chill in the air to go out & see said color not to mention the fading daylight...Really what's the appeal? 170 day's until Spring

Fun with Filters

Last tomato of the summer

Today I ate my last garden tomato...I guess that means summer really is over...172 days until spring...but who's counting!

A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!

Kiss Your Life.....

I saw this in an amazing shop called Zinc home & garden in Lambertville NJ & it made me stop & think & appreciate the moment, something not easy or often done these days!

Sunflowers & Butterflies..Win Win

I dug up a new section of my yard this summer specifically to plant sunflowers & it was so worth the effort!

Yarn Bombing in Frenchtown NJ

Today I discovered "Yarn Bombing" in Frenchtown New Jersey. Wikipedia - Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. How have I never heard of this before? Now I want to knit a little wrap for the tree in front of my house!

Serious Garden Gate Envy!

What can I say....If only.....
