Forth

Independence day was rainy

 leaving the driveway for my sister's house  and along the driveway are

my gladiolas  

one of my very favorite flowers

The rain drops showing on the flower petals

Arriving at my sister's house

The fountain is moving water down it's two tiers

Onto the front porch

I do like stone houses

Boston baked beans a must

corn roasted in it's natural wrapper - THE BEST way to serve them I think
such good flavor

Anticipation 

little blurry but you can still see they are  just waiting for the go ahead to 

dig in

My niece moved back closer to home and so glad she did
She is a great photographer and a very busy lady

Three Kings Day

The 12th and last day of the Christmas Season.  I started taking down my decorations today.   Looks like I may finish putting them away by Valentines day.  There are so many little things to pack away. 
My husband went shopping in a  store in town called "Junk in the Trunk",  lots of nice and unique items.  He said he had to get me a Three Kings day gift.    I am glad he did,  although he never has before and neither have I.   I guess it's never to late to start.  I saw this before Christmas and wanted one,  he remembered.
Something from the earth ,  which is Himalayan Crystal salt lamp.
It cleans the air and has a nice glow.
 I will see, although since I have quit smoking I am not as winded as I once was.  Thank God for that.
I like the color and the light in total darkness, gives a nice glow.
