 During the winter we thought we had had seen a new bird at our feeder.  But after looking it up, we realized that the Goldfinch changes color during the winter.  Their feathers turn brownish.  Very cool!

 Now this little guy showed up at our feeder this week.  

His color is all back and is beautiful.

I am shooting through my window so

 forgive my dirty windows.

 He grabbed a seed and tossed it around in his mouth,

 trying to break it open.  I was surprised how 

close he let me get to the window.

Thanks for taking a peek at my pictures.

See you next week.

Foto Friday (Flower Edition)

Spring has sprung up around my yard this week.  So I set my little camera on the macro setting and headed 

outside.  While the macro setting is not nearly as good as having a prime macro lens on your camera,

 it lets you get pretty good detail in your pictures.

 I love filling my lens with the flowers.  

I planted 200 bulbs last fall.  

Take a look at what has popped up so far.

My favorite shot this week is this white beauty!  

I am not sure of its name, but it is so small and delicate.

Thanks for taking a look at my pictures.

See you next week.

 This week we we had a little snow!  So pretty but I am super ready for warmer weather so we can rip off

 that pool cover and dive in!

We said good-bye our food pantry co-coordinator.  

These next photos are pictures of old pictures. 

 I posted a Throw Back Thursday picture in honor of my son's birthday this past week.  But then I couldn't stop snapping pictures of all his cuteness. I really should flip 

through these albums more often.  

This boy could sleep anywhere!

Bath TIME!

 OMG, how adorable are my boys! 

 We use to hike all over Germany.  

That backpack got a real workout.  

Happy 28th Birthday Christopher!  

Your mama loves you!

See you next Friday.

 Here is the late addition of Foto Friday.

I have had a crazy week.  

First my hubby became a Deacon at church.

Next I want to share a picture of some of our 

church family.  Love these guys!

 Then guess what happened?????  It snowed AGAIN!  

What is up with the weather this winter?

Smore's anyone???

Freaky playing in the snow!

Love watching birdies!

Snow selfie!

Then within a few days all the snow was gone.

The sun came out and our bulbs popped out to 

welcome the first day of Spring.

I finished the week helping put together a dinner for 200 fathers and daughters!  More on that on my other blog next week.

This weeks I was busy making decorations for

 an upcoming dinner at my church.

I love all these doilies!  

We spent hours dying them.  While they are pretty, I wouldn't do it again. We are using them for chargers and these fun banners. 

Super CUTE!

Then I made a bunch of banners for the ceiling.  I like the texture of all the doilies in this picture. 

We had 70 degree weather one day and 

then back to the 30's the next.  

I thought we were done building fires, guess not.

 Why am I sharing a picture of my dusting spray???  Well it is one of my chores that I dislike.  But this winter our home seems to be dustier than normal.  So I have to do it more often than I would like.  

Anyway, this is the room that is the most annoying because of all the picture frames.  

 But since dusting this room every week, I have really learned to enjoy it.  I love looking at all the pictures.  I like seeing how our family has grown and changed over the years.  I love seeing the faces of people who have passed and remembering times that we spent with them.  

Thanks for taking a peek into my little world at home.

See you next week!

 This weeks pictures are from my little trip to New York.
I went to visit friends and teach a couple card making classes. 

 There is a little bit more snow snow up in New York compared to Virginia. 

 It was so pretty. 

 I loved how my friends red house popped against the snow.  

 This barn was at another friends house.  I love the rustic look of the barn and the sweeping snow 

banks around the property.  

On my way home I saw this beautiful sunset.  

And just in case you thought winter is never going to end, I saw this book and had to snap a picture of it. 

It made me smile.  

Thanks for taking a peek at my pictures.

See you next Friday.
