    Gorgeous pictures Claudia!
    There is so much beauty all around us… even in places we don’t think it is there… we just have to look with the right “perspective”….. I love the colors and the delicacy of the milkweed… mine had frost on it this morning!

    I really enjoy “Corners” it is like opening a greeting card every Saturday afternoon.
    I started reading Anna Quindlen ‘ s new book, it is going real slow. I will hang in there with it and hope it picks up. I have really enjoyed all her pervious books.
    I saw a graph of heating costs for this winter and the North East will have the highest costs, terrible.
    Take Care,
    Kaye

      It’s insane. I’m not sure how we’re going to get through the winter.

      Thanks, Kaye.

      Stay safe.

    Yours pics of #1 and #3 are my favorites. It’s so beautiful where you live. I would love it.
    My sister suggested Homeland to me, but I haven’t watched it.
    My new blythe doll arrived from Ontario last week. She’s so pretty!! The wrapping paper the seller made was really creative. My fourth little girl looks like a Dutch girlie, and I know there are lots of Dutch people in Ontario. Anyways I named her right away – Marijke. It’s a really pretty name. I’ve met a Marijke in town one time, about Mom’s age.
    I’m so happy!! Also I ordered an additional outfit for my blythe dolls.
    It’s chilly here too. I completed my painted flower fence last night in the dark. Looks a little bit like a grade 5 class project. Oh, well, my neighbors and Mike like it. Says Hope, Love, Peace and Joy on the top. I didn’t realize that the first panel didn’t have anything, so I painted Hope.
    Yesterday my youngest brother had sepsis and thankfully did not die. They live about 35 mins. from the closest hospital there in BC. Thank goodness he’ll be okay.

      I’m so glad you like your Blythe doll, Irene. And your fence sounds delightful.

      Very relieved your brother will be okay.

      Stay safe.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
