Last weekend we had a dinner party for our priests.
Sadly I got no pics before or during -- just the clean-up!

Red Maple buds encased in ice.
Crazy kid went skating in bare feet.
And shorts. And a short-sleeved shirt.
Don't tell Leila.
I'm sorry Leila -- when they are bigger than me,
they are on their own with proper winter attire!

It was such a pleasure to have candles lit all day.
I vow to do it more often.

My new favorite little boy gift.
All the little boys on my list this year will get this book and a mess kit.
Good stuff!
The sun finally came out yesterday -- I think it was the first time all week.

Thou art not so unkind,
As man’s ingratitude."
- William Shakespeare
Below you'll find a linky list because so many lovely women decided to join me in my 52 Weeks project. There are no rules (except the two below) -- if you want to start your 52 Weeks this week, go for it! I will keep the links up until next Wednesday, so you have almost a week to do it.
(1) Make sure you copy and paste the URL of your 52 Weeks blog post ( and not your main blog URL). You could also use of Flickr photo page if that's how you do things.
(2) Include a link back here in your blog post or flickr photo page.
That looks like a great book...hmmm...Little Brother has a birthday soon. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat cold tootsies that big boy must have.
ReplyDeleteMy fav. pic. is the candlemas with candles all in a row. Looks very peaceful.
My favorites are the ice on the branch and sun across your pretty room.
ReplyDeleteBlessed weekend, friend.
I've had the book on my wishlist for a while ... maybe I'll order it for my soon-to-be-8 boy.
ReplyDeleteThe winter/ice pics are beautiful. Just love to see nature all glitzed up.
The ice photos are very pretty! I'm sure that storm will be a very memorable part of this 5th week of 2011! And I really like that boys book, too. I gave it to my nephews for Christmas. And I look forward to the day my boys will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunshine! I hope it lasts awhile.
P.S. Thanks for the simple directions for blocking. I will have to give it a try. I just never know which projects need blocking and which do not ...
Barb,
ReplyDeleteLittle Brother is the perfect age!
Christine, That boy is hot all the time! I think his thermostat is broken. ;-)
Thank you, Allison. My camera stinks for distance but has a great close-up lens. I had to closer than I wanted to get the maple bud pic -- it was cold out! But those buds encased in ice are so pretty.
Suzi, I bought the book for my husband's nephew and he just turned 9 -- a great age to start learning about making fires for cooking and learning to do some basic "necessary" sewing. The mess kit and campers utensil set were great accessories.
Sarah -- It's been a very sunny day today and some of the ice is melting even though it's still very cold out.
I have found that almost all projects benefit from blocking. The stitches look neater and more uniform after blocking -- even when you don't think they look bad to begin with.
i haven't been keeping up with this. *sigh* but i am enjoying yours!
