Wow, a LOT has happened since I last posted. I suppose I need to figure out how to make this the weekly priority I had intended. March turned out to be super busy as I've been away a couple of times-- once to my parents by myself and later to Colorado for Spring Break with my family(more on that soon). I've added the pics of Mom's lovely lady, adorned in green. I also added one of the entire buffet as she does decorate the whole top as well.
I know it's well past the St. Patrick's holiday and even Easter--can you believe I forgot to take a picture of her Easter/Spring-scape when we passed through on our trip--but until she creates a blog of her own, I'm going to publish her creations.
The weekend I visited was very cold and they had so much snow on the ground. We had a very low-key weekend because of the weather--walked to the local bakery for lunch Saturday, Church on Sunday--perfect way to relax! We did tackle a puzzle that I didn't get to see finished, which bothers me to no end. It was of a pack of white/grey wolves in a snowy forest--so an entire white and grey puzzle really. I think it got completed within the week, as my Dad wouldn't put an unfinished puzzle away.
I'm really enjoying these short weekends in their little town, can't wait to see it in bloom and hopefully take some pics outside.
On one of my visits I stopped at an antique mall on the way home, think I blogged about buying a couple of paintings. I love old oil paintings and they both remind me of our days living and traveling in Europe. I still haven't framed them, and don't know if I will frame one of them. I would like to find an old, possibly gold frame that can be cut down to fit the one above. The castle on the hill below has an old string hanger and I think I'll keep it that way for a while--or until I find a wall that will be its forever-home, in my forever-home.
