First of all-Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I don’t have any corned beef and cabbage to cook as I couldn’t get out yesterday. Maybe I can have some tomorrow or Monday.
The following photo is yet another Flower Show one-this was an award winning display-that’s a keg decorated with flowers and there is a hose and a tap that leads to a cup. Interesting, don’t you think?

…right this very minute-we are expecting a mix of different weather-snow and rain and all that fun stuff. My van is inspected and fine. : )
Please note that I added a ton more flower show photos to my Flickr album which has two clickable links in my side bar.
So here are some spring-like photos….
The inviting entrance to the flower show
This reminded me of Naturegirl’s lovely arrangements-so this is for her and I love African violets too!
A big tree tied with scarves and decorated with fishbowls of cut flowers-Gerbera daisies?

This was taken about 1991-92 when we went up to near Penn State for the wedding of Brian’s cousin. Brian’s mom was still with us (she passed on in ’96) and this was a little church behind the cemetery where most of Brian’s maternal relatives rest (including his mom now). Brian believes his mom went to church here, way out in the sticks. I think because of taking this photo, I got an interest in the design and architecture of other churches, thus taking photos of them in my travels. This is such a simple, but beautiful place and I wonder if it’s still standing.

Not really original, but I thought a close-up of cottonballs looked neat.
I have two things, one I know a little about and the other I know nothing about. Bri thinks the binoculars belonged to his grandfather. I like how worn and used they look. I found the beaded oval piece at a tail gate sale and just liked it because it was old and handmade. I wonder if it was on a dress or hat or what decade it came from? These are little treasure I keep tucked inside my curio table.

This is a mosaic frame that I made from broken pieces of my grandparents good china as a Christmas gift for my mom. There wasn’t that much left of the china (a few dessert dishes) and I was into mosaics and had this lovely photo of Ruth and Alan. My grandfather Alan died 6 weeks after I was born, so I only know him through photos like this. He use to write short stories and tried to get a few published, but never did. I know if blogs had been around back then, he would have enjoyed writing in one.

Lovely silvery flecks of mica reflect the light on a rock near the little pond in the backyard.
I am lucky to have a nice sized yard (1.4 acres) and we see lots of wildlife. My favorite wild things are the mostly Leopard frogs who sometimes live in my 50 gallon pond. I took this a few years ago. This little guy is next to an old piece of tv glass-my husband’s uncle use to work at Corning glass.

So what am I saying here? Well you can go to that neat snowflake website and make them electronically or you can get a Origami book and paper (or a day to day calendar-that’s where the purple designs came from) and get the tactile pleasure of cutting out your own snowflakes! Each has their advantages and disadvantages and I like them both but I have more memories of non-tech snowflakes especially making some lately with my 7.5 yr old niece.
