Stone House Scribblings

 Amy brought flowers home today. Made my day and our evening table, too. Inspiring, too. We set a pretty table for supper. Of course, I had to make a favorite supper to put on the table. Sloppy Joe's with cheese on bread. So with all that going on, we had ice cream for desert while we… Continue reading Flowers For The Table

 A patio fire and cookout during the very first week of 50 degree weather made us feel triumphant. We made it through winter! A big fire, a few friends, coats, and a picnic supper... a perfect spring celebration.  Never mind the snow in the back ground. We took a Sunday afternoon drive the other Sunday and… Continue reading Some Thank You Spots On My Planet

I'm tired and slow today but feeling richly blest with wonderful memories of eternity-real events. I hope to unpack some of these things here so that we can remember and savor later. A funeral in our family… Continue reading Unpacking

 Or a peace offering. Without telling away private things unnecessarily. We had things to talk over and work on. But we had to wait. While things piled up.I have collections: old portraits to frame, tools and projects, knitting and crocheting, writing stuff, crafts, and brainstorms. Scattered hither and thither in stashes throughout this old house.… Continue reading A New Workspace

A Cornell Lab of Ornithology pictureIt is so very cold this morning. Even the fires didn't keep up well last night so we woke to a chilly house. But it is a still morning and the sunshine is brilliant. The pine siskin have been flocking to our feeder and emptying it every day. Brad interrupted… Continue reading The Siskin Outside Your Window
