November 22

Was looking for some weather folklore about
the sun dogs late today ... I will choose to believe the one that says,
"Ring around the sun, time for fun. Ring around the moon, storm coming soon."
I was just so happy to see the sun shining ... even if it was waaayyy too cold!!

November 21

Doesn't seem as though Thea was
very impressed with this
Christmas photo idea 

Ben was mesmerized !!

Tried a very quick
photo with the grandbabies ...

Jaydan is sporting

November 13

Time to catch up ... feel the need to apologize for being 

so slack in the past weeks.  Going to chock it up to a

bug that I can't seem to shake, all the dreary weather, etc.

I'm hoping to be more inspired in the coming weeks ...

Troy ... helping out with all the wood
hauled out of the Marais in the past weeks.

Thanks to Jess & Carla ...

Found this at MCC today ...

This was one very, very happy person ...
finally seeing some clear skies and the sun today again!!

Besides the sentiment of the quote,
I have such a soft spot for all things handcrafted :)

Don & Grace were
