A little history close to home - May 07

Went to the park today not far from home and decided to visit the old Courthouse area next to it. Here are some pics and a little history in Hanover county Va. If you place the cursor over pix, it should enlarge.

The tavern across the street. Here is a link for the website. http://www.hanovertavern.com/


Some pictures of the Jail.

Some crafts of mine.

This has been a good day to get back to sewing and probably also a good day to catch up on some housework. It is rainy and can't do a thing outside.

I decided to sew instead.

Here are some pics of simple stained glass projects I have worked on in the past. I can find some
nice ideas and patterns from
various stained glass sites.

Was returning home one late evening and saw this beautiful full moon and skeletal trees in front of it. I thought it was just SO pretty and sort of eerie looking also, as the time was around fall of the year. I made this rug of left over yarns that I collect just for projects like this, trying to copy as much as I could of the picture in my mind.

Well off to work on more projects.

May 2nd

Beautiful overcast day with occasional rain showers, so nice to see the pollen

wash away. Dogwoods are dropping their blooms, azaleas are not far behind.

The tree I call "granddaddy's beard' is just in full bloom, smells like honeysuckle. This beautiful shrub or tree was here when we moved here 2 years ago.

I decided to make some fresh veggie soup with cabbage, carrots , celery, garlic, onion, tomatoes

and potatoes. Tuna salad sandwich and fruit. Trying to keep healthy eating here and shed a few pounds.

I got my mom's day gift today from my daughter Annette.She sent a homemade bar of oatmeal soap and the fragrance is called "Butt Naked". It truly does smell great.

I also rec'd chocolate dipped spoons for coffee along with peanut butter fudge, and a beautiful piece of artwork from my grandson .

Seth made this painting with spray paints. He wants me to show him how to make a frame when he comes to visit in June. They are in Fort Campbell Kentucky, seems right around the corner since they were previously in Schweinfurt Germany.

He used canned spray paint (outside of course) and just freehand sprayed it on.

He's a sweetie. A pix of a school pix, little blurry.

Threw some flowers I found and some I purchased in a vase for my bedroom, I just noticed from this picture that they are not quite arranged right. Oh well.

Hi everyone, been a busy week at home getting the ground ready for my garden.

I can't wait and it is supposed to be very warm tomorrow. So pretty with the dogwoods and azaleas in bloom.

We had a little rain this past Tuesday and a beautiful rainbow afterwards, just had to post a picture of it.
