Hi Friends!  I'm back today to show you my latest crocheted piece.  I had fun working with this lovely Aqua color. This piece is 17" in diameter. One of the reasons I love Ball Jars so much... their beautiful shade of aqua! Such a summer-ee color don't you think?  These are sweet peas from my garden.  I think I planted too many...I have sweet peas growing  out of my ears this year!  They are the perfect flower to cut and enjoy  around the house.

Keeping the birds and squirrels fed are something we enjoy.  I found this little guy on the deck and at first I thought he was hurt,  but he was just hanging out resting I guess. I think he was tired from this,  and ...

Hi Everyone!  We're back from our wonderful and most memorable anniversary trip  to some of Washington's beautiful shore line.  (totally loving my new cap here that says "Got Rain?"  Olympic National Park) This was the view from our room at the  Kalaloch Lodge We went on so many great hikes to the surrounding beaches. My new beach hiking sandals were perfect  for hiking and beach combing.  I'm not sure I could pick out a favorite beach, they were all so  unique and lovely!   Sometimes it felt like we were the only people in this beautiful place.  This desert born girl hasn't really done a lot of beach combing,  so, I felt like one of those kids you see at the aquariums  running around and touching everything!  Everywhere you looked it was something new and exciting! Such a pretty little s...
