Amazing Thoughts About Not Cleaning House....

     Spring is right around the corner after a very mild winter, so far.... I keep looking at the dust and things I should be cleaning, but just think about it for 5 minutes and go do something else. Why do we change when we get older?  I can remember being up at daybreak mopping floors and washing clothes and when Spring came around we had to wash down walls and wash curtains, remember putting them on curtain stretchers? What a job!
    I've been watching House Hunters on HGTV, how do they clean those fabulous houses, maids, maids, maids.......lol
    We have a log house and it seems very big now that the kids are gone, but I have a small kitchen and would love to have a big kitchen, like our old farmhouse had. When we built this house, I never thought about it.Will give you a peek of part of my kitchen in this post. Our daugther, Angie, planned her kitchen out before their house was built, very smart! She has a bar, an island with two sinks, a pantry, and of course all of her cupboard space and three more sinks.. I tease her about it all the time.
  Well, its late, so will post a couple of pictures, hope everyone has a Great Sunday.

    This is a favorite doll, old Christmas bulbs and an old crock that belonged to my Mom and her Mother before.
     My kitchen is country, just hard to get all the family in when they come home. I love roosters.... :)

Come follow my boards at Pinerest, till the next time,

The Mysterious Outdoors

       This is a very unusal happening in the outdoor's today... Jim was cutting firewood in the woods behind our house. He knows his trees and this one looked like an Ash Tree, he thought was dead.
      Well, he cut it down and in the center of the tree trunk was this unusual design! It has this design all the way up through the trunk... Very beautiful! We have been guessing as to what made the design.. A fossil or flower seed, came from my little Granddaugther, Samantha, It looks like a Sunburst from our daugther, Angie.
      If anybody has a clue, we would like to know.
      God definately works in Mysterious Ways,
