Ever have one of those days?

No matter how hard i tried today I could not seem to do anything constructive or correctly!
Soooooo...I gave up and enjoyed a truly beautiful cool sunny day! Played with some copper wire curls and the took a few photos in the yard of the Quenn Annes Lace. Then I played with that on my iPad and loved the results!

Taking time for summer

WE have been so busy again this summer with the house and the cars and projects..all of which are not going well..that I forget some days how beautiful summer really is here in Vt. The incessant rain and then the sudden 90 degrees with humidity kind of derailed me! But as I was taking my car back for the second time for repairs ,,no air conditioning in mine so the windows were all done.,The shop is in the country out on a back road. It is such a beautiful drive! Miles of green meadows..deer, rabbits,contented cattle munching away. And the birds! just sitting and listening for a few minutes takes my breath away!
so thank you GOD for making me stop and SEE! It was worth the hassle!

Happy Fourth Everyone

Sitting here this morning thinking about all the other 4th of July celebrations over the years. When we were kids everyone went to the lake,,either a private camp or Lake Dunmore. Cotton candy and ice cream never tasted so good. Swim all day and burned hot dogs and salads to eat later. Watching the fireworks wrapped in some ones too large sweatshirt. The only care in the world was the mosquitoes. When happy childhood memories are  so few and far between..does that make them more special?
