Biscuits

I got this great recipe for biscuits out of a free paper in Black Creek Country Store.  These are great with ham or anything really.  Very light and I must say 'fluffy'.    I have some rose sugar here that I sprinkled on mine while they were hot.
I made the sugar from roses I grew this summer along with rose jelly.

Rain deer

So much rain fell sunday that our creek was overflowing.   The deer are still here but I think they should be moved to higher ground.
Glad there is just fog today and no rain.

Happy Sunday

Nice rainy cold day,  I am off to Barnes and Noble and Pier One which is next door.
Good day to finish up some shopping.  I am more last minute getting things done this year. Just don't feel the rush.  I am enjoying it more,  especially today since the rain makes me slower than ever.   Had a little ice come down earlier, but now just rain.
 
My grandson seth will be coming to visit for Christmas this year,  this is the second year I have seen him at Christmas - he is nine.  I saw he and his mom this past summer when we went different places,  but it is nice to have a christmas with him,  I am hoping he will be visiting this summer and maybe take some time for the beach.
  
 Seth has a Great grandmother ( who is my mom), and will be so nice to have everyone together.
I finally finished this tree with silver tinsel and swapped out the poinsettias for ribbon.  I think it looks better

The tree is up

The tree is finally put up.   I did not label things as I should have,  so this took a while.
 I am so glad that part is over.
Monday I will finish the outside.   I have some holly I want to put in pots and decorate the lamp post.  

 My pictures are a little fuzzy.

The top of my tree.


I made these paper dolls. 

Well I will put up more pictures as I get things done.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a day I finish.
