Photos of the Week: February 27th

We had such beautiful weather this week and it was great to be out snapping photos. 



 – weather -- Our weather was nice and sunny this week and I just loved seeing the sun sparkling off the snow and throwing shadows all over the place. 


– key-- A quick snap with my cell phone while out hiking.  I really liked this unexpected perspective of my keychains and keys.




– house -- Welcome to our home. 


– corner Evan and I went hiking and found a few of these rock stacks marking the turns in the trail at every corner.  




– Photographer’s Choice The sky was so pretty this week.

    Such beautiful photos. I was at my granddaughters house last week and we were admiring how the way the sun was hitting the snow it looked like diamonds!

      Yes, I love how it glitters and sparkles in the sun; something my camera doesn't seem to pick up on.

    My "weather" picture was shadows and snow as well. We were clearly thinking in the same direction!

    These are such great pictures! I need to get my act together... have already missed a few weeks of photography. Maybe I can do it monthly instead and pick my favorites of the given themes :-) It may work better for me!

      I know of at least one other blogger who does her photos monthly instead of weekly.

    Gorgeous photos!
    I always forget that you, over the pond has different weather to us here in England. Our snow has gone and we have spring like weather. x

      I am always amazed at how different your weather in England seems to be too because growing up with all our geography classes it looked like the two areas were fairly similarly placed (latitude wise) on the map.

    What a lovely house and scene - but my fave this week is the rock stacks. We don't get snow and are in the middle of summer so the snow pic is nice too. CarolG

    Oh gosh, I know so many are tired of snow but yet so many will say how pretty it is! I was born and raised where we had snow and ice every winter. I don't care if I ever see another snowflake. My grandbabies though have never seen real snow, only fake. Thanks so much for linking up with me at the Unlimited Monthly Link Party 22. Shared!

      It is pretty but I am definitely getting sick of it. I think I could be perfectly happy living in a place where they never (or rarely) get snow.

    You live in such a beautiful place! Isn't it nice when the snow covers everything?! I love that someone put the stacks of rocks at every corner of the trail!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
