Contemplation

"Art is contemplation.
It is the pleasure of the mind
which searches into nature
and which their devines
the spirit of Nature herself is animated."

The Silver Lining

"Clouds may come, but clouds may go
and they all have a silver lining.
For behind each cloud you know,
the sun or moon is shining."

Finding Snow!

"The summer hath his joys,
and winter his delights
though love and all his pleasures are bit toys,
they shorten tedious nights."
-Thomas Campion
Going away for a few days with the family....we are going to find snow! We seldom see it here and I don't really think 1/8 of an inch counts in the scheme of snow playing. So, we will go find it. I understand the mountains just received 32 inches. We are all so excited! I will leave you with some fun photos for a few days! Enjoy!

We Have A 200th Post Winner!

Utah Grammie is the Winner! It still is Monday, I think...life and mucho Christmas cooking duties took on a huge part of my day. All comments were numbered as they came in ...and the random number generator selected number 6! Thank you to everyone who left all the kinds words, encouragement and just outright cool friendship! I'm thrilled and honored that so many people from everywhere pop in occasionally to see what is going on in my little world! Thank you...and Merry Christmas. Now, if Utah Grammie will email me at: alexalett@comcast.net with your mailing address, the 200th Post swag is coming your way! Popped in my favorite antique mall a few days ago...had to share this little decorative gem. You all know my affection for the infamous beaded fruit....I parleyed it into beaded pumpkins and jack-0-lanterns...and yes, I have been topped with a beaded candle with a Santa on top! Love it!
