There's No Place Like Home

Glad to be back in Wisconsin again. It is so beautiful here, and I love the change of seasons.

Roaming a Beach.

Saw this while walking along a beach.  The sign says "Lost Soles".  Clever.

Day Three, On Our Own

We had the day to ourselves today, so we decided to drive up the Keys.  We saw this Bike Sculpture at a Recycle Bike Shop.  Thought the store was going to be about reusing bikes, but it wasn't.

Week Three of On The Edge

Working on the blanket stitch around the edge of the pillowcase.

Getting Ready

Packing the "Martha" way in zip-loc bags actually works.  Compresses everything so there is more room.  Especially important when packing for an 8-day trip in only a carry-on bag.

Springy Sunday

New for spring. Beautiful sunny and warm Sunday.  I found these out by the lamp post in the middle of our driveway garden.

Chosen Yarn

After a vote among three impartial participants (Pam and 2 customers at www.colorcrossing.com), this is the color that became the victorious winner. I think it is an eye-popping color and will look amazing on the pillowcases.

Monday, Monday.

It has been such a cloudy and foggy Monday, that I thought I would post another flower picture from the Conservatory.

As Seen in the Conservatory

Waiting for our own ferns to start growing in the woods.  They are so beautiful when they are unfurling.

Cooper!

This has become a very bad habit that Doug and I have let Cooper do.  At first it was just licking the dishes, but this four-footed in the dishwasher stuff may have to be stopped!!

Getting Ready for Ben's Birthday

Ben turns 17 on the 5th, so Doug prepared this weekend by wrapping his presents and putting them somewhere where Ben couldn't reach them.  I think Doug's goal was accomplished!
