How Many?

Have you counted yours? 

It's 1,053 posts for me.

The following was first published on 

January 3, 2014,  my No. 600 post. 

It all began in July of 2009.  Have no idea what possessed me.

I think that I was walking in my garden,

 early one morning, with coffee cup in hand.

When it occurred to me that I wanted to share with you

Our life in the country

with creatures great and small. 

Building a new house. 

Share with you my passion for growing flowers.

Inside 

and Out.

Many recipes from my kitchen.

And painting recipes for walls.

And ceilings.

Easter Eggs.

Christmas Ornaments.

And printed paper.

The happy day I bought this rubble, 

for $500 cash.

and turned it into a treasure.

Travels to Europe

And exotic places.

Painting at the Scuola d' Arte in Deruta, Italy.

Painting ceramics.  So, so many and now almost forgotten.

All sent off, never to see again, 

hopefully making new owners happy.

So grateful to each and everyone of you.

  

Thank you for visiting, reading and commenting. 

Without you, my dear Readers, it wouldn't be half the fun. 

And still grateful to this day.

This is the time of year

When I get very jealous.

It is icy and freezing outside.

No flowers in my garden.

Stay safe,

I don't know why I worry about Clyde

 For weeks now, Clyde has been courting 

a young Wild Canadian Goose.

He is even teaching her how to pull extra delicious morsels 

from the bank of the pond

You know that Canadian Geese mate for life. 

Clyde has never been concerned about that. 

Clyde (white goose) has plenty to choose from.

Did he pick the same goose which he courted last year?

Last year he pretended that the goslings were his. 

Maybe this coming Spring he doesn't have to pretend

The entire flock flew away in the Fall and left Clyde behind because he can not fly. 

She came back early, by herself. They are now inseparable 

Maybe this year is the year.

Have a great week dear Friends

her readers to show our most favorite chair.

Here it is and Mary has even sat in it.

Happy Sunday dear Friends.

No, No and No

I am not making New Year Resolutions. 

I'm just happy to be alive

And happy to play in the new snow.

And happy that more snow is coming. 

Wishing you health and happiness,

Gina

Wishing you and all your family a better and healthier
