ThE PuSsY WiLLOwS ArE BLOoMiNg...SpRiNg iS CoMiNg...

I'm testing Mike's new Nikon D3000 that I gave him for Christmas!  I love my new print! I ordered it online.  It is printed in gold leaf on slate paper and I found the perfect frame with a gold leaf edge to match.  Love the little arrow on the "is".  Hope it looks nice in our new home!  Now if we can just sell this house!  If you look close you can see my pussy willows blooming outside...how did that tiny start grow into that enormous tree??? 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...

PRE-THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS SPIRIT...

I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but I just had to decorate one tiny corner and start the Christmas music...even though the house is for sale we may have one last Christmas here in this great house! I love my little cream and gold village.  I try to add something new to it each year...found two new trees today...the big one to the right behind the "JOY" and the sparkly tinsel one. 

THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF FALL...

Our maple tree is so pretty right now!  Wish the leaves could stay on the branches a while longer!

FEELING A BIT NOSTALGIC...SOME OF THE THINGS I WILL MISS ABOUT YAKIMA...

 The beautiful trees and fall colors...

 Franklin Park behind the house a few blocks away...

 Chestnut and Yakima Avenues in the fall...

The wonderful historic houses...

I LOVE THE FALL...

I hate to see the summer go by and all my flowers die off, but I love the fall! We tried a square foot garden this year...here is a little display of our harvest.
