Weekend Comforts

Hello friends! 

It's been raining a lot since Friday, so we spent a lot of time

at home this past weekend, cooking and enjoying the weather.

I decided to try a little Zentangle again.  Who doesn't love to doodle!?

You might remember this from a year ago.

But, since we are living in the PNW now I wanted to show you again the collage I made with 

this huge maple leaf, that's larger than my hand.

The leaf I used in my collage came from this tree that is in front of the 

school where Russell works.

I remember what a challenge it was trying to get that "single" leaf back to 

Las Vegas last year, 

without it getting squished on the plane. :-) 

Now that we are here, I don't have to worry.

I picked these up the other day on our walk.

I pressed them in a book and will use them again in another collage.

Fetzer, Shatzie and Lucy have all been enjoying the rainy, cloudy weather too.

(I didn't get a picture of Shatzie yet...she's curled up on the new down comforter.)

Lucy likes this spot so she can watch the squirrels.

This weather makes me want comfort food.  That could mean trouble right? 

Russell made a delicious, lamb stew and this is the potatoes and 

vegetables he roasted in the oven beforehand. 

It was so yummy!

I also decided it was time now, to crochet an afghan. 

Maybe I will finish it by next October. :-) 

Hope you have a beautiful week!
