Views From My Yard -Snow- 11-27-2013

My view at 6:45 am from the side deck:

I guess I'm in a cheery mood because this is m y view at 6:45 am from the side deck. I think it's just beautiful outside!

If you check the second photo of the chair, you can see about how much had accumulated. And boy, doesn't it look cold???

Although it snowed a misty bit day before yesterday, today marks our first accumulation of snowfall.

It began to fall late last night and then by this morning, this is what I woke up to. It's about an inch to an inch and a half. It is also so frigid cold here today. The high is only to reach around 28*.. BURRRR. And the wind chill factor is in the mid teens for the day.

One thing is for sure, if you are venturing out and are in my neck of the woods, you better be bundled up.


How is the weather where you are?

Tobacco stick ladder

We live in the country, so I find many things in which I try to recycle into something I like. Here, I took some tobacco sticks that was once used to work in the fields of tobacco with, and simply cut them and made a cute little ladder. It's holding a few pieces of fabric and some ornies. I'm thinking that maybe I will display my smaller Christmas cards on it, when time comes.

Grapevine Tree

Grapevine Tree Lighted
I am o so in love with the country *Primitive* decorating. And amist all of that, I am very proud of my husband for making me this Grapevine Tree.

I brought it indoors because the weather is getting so bad. He put a lot of work in it, and I don't want it to ruin. He had to soak the grapevines for a while before he could even bend them. For decorations I added two small strands of white lights and some of my late mom's aluminum cookie cutters.

I also collect alot of aluminum kitchen items, click here to take a look.

Aluminum Collection

For some reason, the past year has had me searching for aluminum kitchen items. I had an empty pot rack above my stove and didn't want to hang pots/pans from it. As I like to be more decorative, I guess you could say.

So one day, my collection started when I used my late Mom's aluminum measuring cup (far right in pic). I then hung it up above the stove for easy access. And gradually, since then, I have been hunting for me aluminum items, kitchen type, to hang. I like them to be useable to, as I am an avid baker.

I also have aluminum cookie cutter decorating my grapevine tree!

Do you collection any certain things in your kitchen?

Scenic Road

I took this photo in the summer of 2008. The roads name is Pine Grove Rd. It is where my mom's family all grew up. I cropped the photo as it is (skinny style), so my aunt Wilma could use it in one of her blogs.

It had been misty-like raining on and off. And the temperature was just perfect.

Isn't it just so country?

Where's The BEEF? (funny pic to pass along)

This is a photo that I took of my uncle, Benny and his not so "beefy" cow.
