Bottlebrush Trees

I've started another of my way to many collections, bottlebrush trees. The below photo was taken off the Country Living web site. The trees were dipped in bleach to turn into beautiful shades of ivory. They are new trees.

Below is my measly collection. The large tree I paid $8 for at an antique store. To much but, I had to start my collection. The small one I paid 25 cents. I was at my Mom's favorite thrift store and Donna found it buried in a box of Christmas decorations. A friend of mine said Michael's sold them by the bag during the holiday season. Hopefully they will next year. I'll buy a bag & bleach. Although, I'll still search the antique & thrift stores for the old ones.

Have a GREAT weekend. I won't. I'm boxing, bagging, trashing and sorting again this weekend.

Cardinals

I saw my Cardinals again last Sunday. At least I'm pretty sure they are the same pair that I saw the end of last month.

Guess I need to read the link on the post to find out if a pair of Cardinals spend
the winter together.

The photographs were taken right thru the glass of our family room window.

Wordless Wednesday

My life, the last two weeks has been tubs, tubs and more tubs.

Tubs that are filled & ready for the attic.

Tubs that are waiting to be filled, I've spent $200 on tubs the last two weeks. My life the last two weeks, has been bags for our local church thrift store. My life the last two weeks, has been sorting. Going thru magazines, ripping out decorating ideas & recipes and then passing the magazines on.Currently I only have two magazine subscriptions. This project won't be as time consuming anymore. I've only gone thru all the clothes in the house. Next, the BASEMENT and I'm afraid. It has not been a good two weeks and it's going to get worse.

Night on the Town

When you live in the North Country choices for a "night on the town" are limited. How about a walk in the local cemetery! We had a dog with us but she was not cooperating with the camera. The scenery was beautiful.
The old head stones were very interesting.
Finally Bella gets in one picture.

It was dark by the end of our walk.
Make sure you find the moon in the above.
