Mosaic Monday

Some wonderful things we saw on a recent ride in the country

 Mt.Baker - so little snow for this time of the year

 Love this shot of the birdhouse in the foreground

 A fabulous old tree with shelf fungus.  When I was growing up in Alaska we called these Bear Bread

 Fireweed gone to seed

The Barn Collective

 An old barn in a peaceful setting 

On a hill 

 I like the vine on this old barn

 It is in town, and probably now is just used for storage

 I love to find signs on old barns

 This is one of my favorites!

Wednesday Wee Ones

Diane and I have been sewing doll clothes all summer - we've had so much fun.  Soon we'll be showing holiday outfits for our dolls.

 Miss Poppy Sunshine is ready for those last few days of summer with her sundress and crocs.

 And a sun hat and bucket - maybe she'll head to Florida to visit Diane, where it is much warmer

If gets too chilly with the short sleeved shirt, a nice long sleeved sweater will keep things warmer.

 Maybe just as a sundress

 Oh too chilly - must have a cardigan - that's better

 Here's Miss Abigail in last week's summer dress - we just aren't ready for Autumn yet

But Sally Jo seems to be ready for Autumn - maybe we'd better get out our Autumn outfits too. 

Be sure to stop over and see what Diane has made from this fabric - it is sure to be super cute.

And be sure to visit Candy I know you'll love what she has sewn.

An Autumn Pine Cone Tea

It is pine cone season at our house - pine cones for decorations and a pine cone tea set

 All the pieces have been collected separately at yard sales, thrift shops and estate sales - yet they match very well.

 One of my favorites - shimmery and bright

Stop by for a cup of tea one of these blustery Autumn days.

Fall is definitely here - we are getting more rain and more cooler days.

 The sheep are getting fluffy

 Shorebirds are pecking among the rocks

 Sparrows are hunting for a bite to eat

 The clouds are predicting rain

 Lunch at "Lizzy's" in Blaine, WA

And the storms are moving in.

A quiet morning at the lake

 A farm stand full of tomatoes

Cheeks full of nuts
