Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 104 Posts
I'm a Floridian born and raised, but living the last 35 years in upstate NY. If I can't make it myself, I can probably live without it. Love books, music, trees, gardening, cemeteries, genealogy, anything old, rusty, and beat up. Sing Southern Gospel music with my husband anywhere we're invited.

small green frog on leaf

Color Coordinated FrogPulling weeds is one way I like to relax, my moment of Zen, some would say. Every now and then I get a bonus. While reaching into a patch of day lilies, I discovered this little guy. Being so well-disguised by his coloring, I very nearly missed seeing him.

A snow covered Christmas scene.

T-shirt Nightgown

Turn a T-shirt Into a NightgownI wanted a new nightgown, and figured there must be something in my wardrobe that I could fashion into one rather than buying one. A touristy tee shirt that someone had given me was just the thing.
