The 9th annual clothes swap was a terrific success!

The picture above is all the clothes to be washed and sorted before the Methodist Home For Children pick up date.
Next are some photos from the swap. This year we had about forty or so women accompanied by a toddler and baby to coo over!







Heidi found a slammin’ dress!






Thanks to Debbie for all her hard work!




A fun time for a great cause with fantastic people! Thanks to Sarah for volunteering to be the hostess for next year’s clothes swap!
Enjoy your day!

The weather is indecisive this time of year luckily we have cured oak for firewood.

As I watch the fire taking shape, a dragon appears in the fire’s silhouette.


Tonight we have a blazing fire to help heat our living space.


Enjoy your day!

The smell of spring wafts in the wind.

A sunny afternoon is the perfect time for this little lizard to catch some rays.



After only a few photographs, Mr. Lizard tires with all the attention. He retreats to his rock house.

Enjoy your day!

Seems that winter and spring have argued over which is in control. Winter wins the weekend!

Who does not enjoy the warmth and glow that a fireplace provides?

I favor the photos taken without my flash. I rely on the light cast from the fire itself.






Stay warm my friends.
Enjoy your day!

After all the much-needed rain, we have a sunny day! Brightly colored flowers are finally in bloom in our gardens.


Barely visible is a tiny spider hiding from my camera.
Enjoy your day!

Yet another new insect for me to photograph! 
This impressive guy is one of the largest members of the click beetle family Elateridae! 

Mr. Beetle is not very happy with me snapping photos.
He decides to play dead for minute or two in hopes of me wonder on to the next picture.


It’s off to the next photo-op!
Enjoy your day!
