5 Things I Enjoy About Summer



1.  Water aerobics here.


2.Watching the birds from my kitchen window.


3.  My back yard.


4. My peonies.


5. My roses


A couple of things I don't like about summer...High humidity and threat of storms

Snowy Sunday

 It was snowing heavily this morning so I just had to take a few pictures.  It sure has whitened up the dirty landscape.

My backyard next to the garage





Neighbor's trees




Kids enjoying the snow




Temperature is about 30 degrees



It has quit snowing now and the birds sparrows have come out to eat.


It wasn't much of a snow storm compared to Nemo but they have named it Orko.  They are getting much more snow north of here.  But they have a blizzard warning out here because the winds are supposed to pick up.  We get a lot of wind here in western Minnesota.

I hope all the people in the North East are getting their power back and getting dug out from their snow storm.

Thanks for stopping!  I hope you are having a sunny Sunday!
Until next time.

Marty's Cloche Party


When I first started blogging and saw all the cloches, I  knew what they were but didn't know what they were called.  I didn't have any of the traditional ones but when I started looking around the house I found all kinds of things that I could make cloches out of.  I've used this cake plate and cover in several vignettes.  For Easter I have two bunnies, ceramic Easter eggs and some moss.




Then I have this smaller one that I have on the table with some decorated cupcakes, some Easter grass and Easter M&Ms



I think the bunnies got out of their cloche and are trying to get at the cupcakes!





 I have this cheese dome siting on my bakers rack with a little nest and bird. 







Also on the bakers rack is a bird cage with a pretty blue bird and some moss.




I think the bird is trying to get out and into this bird house.



I will show you the bakers rack when I finish getting it decorated for spring.

There you have my cloches for Spring and Easter.
