Wow, so many styles that I can't decide on a favorite. I do like some of the modern ones but the 1940's bungalow took me back to my childhood home.

I agree, they are just too darn cute not to take tons of photos of them. The forest floor to me always looks like a fairyland, especially when you get down close with the camera. The little fairy spirits

I am thankful it has been this mild so far. All the seed packets I ordered have arrived and I am excited to try new varieties this year. I am stepping outside of my old box for a change.

I should not be having nightshades either, but, I do have them from time to time. I do skin and de-seed my tomatoes to get rid of the lectins so that helps a bit. I am working hard on healing my gut biome

It makes me hungry for more too! ;-)

It will be interesting to see what type of winter we actually have this year. I thought for sure it would be a hard one but perhaps it will be similar to last year. Stay warm!

I am hoping to accomplish stone houses as I love the way they look.

I hope I am not too early then, as I did mine yesterday. I do plant them under a poly tunnel in mid-march so maybe they will be okay, or I will keep the rest in the greenhouse until it is safe for them.

Traditions passed down from generation to generation are an integral part of living. I am so happy to have read your stories over the holidays about your family's traditions.

The rice fields have always intrigued me and I know that it must be very hard work for the farmers.

I love that you have the lamp lit all the time in honor of your husband. I hope you find the perfect shade for it too. Every day has its own list, doesn't it? Today, I may clear off my potting bench and

What a sweet tradition to carry on for the little ones. I have never heard of what it was until now and I find it so delightful. You receiving the restored stool as your gift brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks, Jay I have over 20 birdhouses and am hoping to build some myself this winter.

I totally understand that. I have to do some building and repairs to some of them this winter. Which means very soon, lol. I am hoping to create some stone ones myself.

Thank you @ewkaw I love your continued support.

Oh yes! I only showed a few birdhouses. I think I have over 20 different ones and plan on building some new ones myself this winter. One can never have too many homes for the birds. ;-)

I love having all the birds enjoy rearing their young in the houses. Every spring I get so excited when I hear the song of the mail Housewren calling for the female to inspect his chosen houses. I have

Yes, the rain and humidity have certainly made the yard and gardens look so different. I will take it over the snow, lol. Have a great day my friend.

I love seeing the old district and the holiday lighting really gives it a nostalgic feel.

It is always wonderful to see a new bird, how exciting that you discovered he was different.
