Scenes Around my Neck of The Woods

Remember you can click on the pix to make them larger.

Wanted to show you some pretty scenes from my neck of the woods. My daughter and I love taking photo's of things like this. This little camela is in my yard and has thousands of buds on it. The hay field, yeah that is many many bales of hay and they all came from THAT field! And what you see there is not all of them either! I've never seen THAT many bales of hay in one field before!!!!

The pic of the pond with the ducks is beside my house. The ducks came in this evening and my daughter eased over there to get some pix. You can see the dam of the pond on one of the pix. The cows keeps it nice and clean from weeds.

Hope you're having a VERY happy day! Also HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TO MY SISTER!!!! I LOVE YOU!

I'm Dreaming of A Red Christmas Tree

After I have thought about it today after Sue made her comment to me. She told me how to do those Little Debbie Gingerbread men I have really been thinking on this one. I think red balls, the Little Debbie Gingerbread Men, the red and white stripe ribbon candy ornaments I've seen at the $ store and then the clear bulbs for the lights would really be pretty on our Christmas tree this year. I have some of the little clip on candle things like I saw on the magazine cover I already mentioned in my other post. I also thought I might even add a few of my starfish I bought in Gulf Shores to the tree or my decorations this year.

I want something different instead of doing the window in the kitchen and the mantel and the spindles etc. I was trying to think what other thing I could decorate this year. Was thinking about changing out my china cabinet and doing it up Christmas-y this year. I will do the mantel but want it a little different and I have NO IDEA HOW YET!


What colors have you decided to go with? Or have you decided yet? ;) I usually can't get it together until way later when I am about to run out of time to decorate! LOL
My daughter tells me I decorate right up until Christmas. I almost do because I can't decide just how I want everything and then I see something and I think, OH I wanna do that! So I go at it! lol That's the joy of it though! Isn't it? I am going to TRY and figure out HOW to make my tree smaller this year though. I may just use the top out of my tree. lol

Pickle Jars

Yep my pickle jar is tall as well. Here is a pic of it. Don't know if you can see the eagle or not though.

Thank you Sue for those directions for the little gingerbread men. In case folks didn't read her comment, it's under this post in the comment section. She replied to my Little Debbie Gingerbread Cookie idea and she had some great info. Thank you again Sue!!!!
