Surprise Snow

So pretty the snowfall as I was leaving my dentist office.  Surprise as I hadn't heard any call for it on the weather channel.

Train coming down the tracks as I was making it home



little clip


I hung this cotton ball wreath on my door that I purchased for 12 dollars from a local vintage shop
I always wanted one but most places were charging way too much.
Looks like sno balls

Train day and an antique shop.

Grand girls and their Mom took in Train day with us on Saturday.

I think the crowds are getting more each year.

in front of a screen and of course the sun was shining right in Genevieves eyes

A neat art shop.  Re Funk It.  Some neat things in here like this phone Genevieve really liked.
She never saw one like it and Opa was explaining that we had one like that and she, I believe thought there was really a light bulb on the end.
This one of course is made into a lamp.

This picture taken outside of the shop 






I thought this was so cute made with hand clippers and hoe it looks to be



How about this little doggy with horseshoes and golf clubs and a manual drill I guess it is.






Curb sitting lunch




Genevieve wanted to see inside a fire engine



Fine vintage cars on display



later in the evening I went to a vintage shop and purchased a vintage table cloth that I will use on Christmas and a cherub that I will probably put into a wreath.


I like these candle holders with greenery and  candle.   I didn't get these but they gave me an idea.

Zinnia Wreath

I finished about three weeks ago the zinnia wreath for my sister.
Took a little while.

Pinecones took several coats of paint and several coats of gloss sealer I used.  I don't think moisture will be a problem if hung on porch under cover.

Halloween post

Children came by this evening so we could see them for Halloween.
Genevieve dressed as a witch and Adalyn as Velma on Scooby doo.
This picture taken at their house.



At my house.  Genevieve is concentrating on keeping her hat on as the wind would pick up at times.


Genevieve looks a little serious here.


A light up skeleton head I put in the bush with hands

and a rat

Superman was here.  The girls got opa this shirt.

Genevieve decided she wanted to go rock hunting through rocks we put down at the steps.  She is always looking for a treasure. she loves rock hunting. 


Before dark





after dark before the storm we had, was getting a little windy


Now on to thinking about Thanksgiving
