Christmas Shenanigans

Kinsley took the camera on Christmas Day and these are two of the pictures I found on it after she left.

Kinsley:

My Uncle Gene was an Army Ranger during the Vietnam War. This is his uniform jacket. Mama has swagged it out. The epaulettes are cabinet hinges with glitter and their ‘fringe’ is spent shell casings with crystals attached.

I thing Mama looks awesome.

Asia

I have a dog. She’s a standard poodle. She came to me already named. Her name is Asia.

Asia is very smart. Very, very possessive. And very, very, very stubborn!

She loves me.

I love her.

Beaver Tooth Necklace by Linda Anderson

Bear Claw Necklace

I helped Mama make this bear claw necklace. So did my brother. I think it looks best on me. Sorry P.O.D. but if it looks best on me, it becomes mine. Those are the rules!

Birthday

Me. A prior birthday. Was LOTS of FUN. Clearly!

Mark your calendars! May 21st is my birthday AND the RAPTURE!

Garden Fantasy: Part Deux

Yesterday I showed you some pictures of the most amazing garden ever. It’s the garden of Dr. and Mrs. Frye (Billy and Elisa). Here are some more pictures.

Stepping into this garden is like stepping into another world. The whimsical nature of the garden allows your imagination to take off. The smells are so delicious. The colors so vibrant. The mountain air invigorating.

It is truly a magical experience!

I am blessed to have Billy and Elisa in my life.

This is Shadow. He’s a big fur baby!

This is Julia. She’s such a lady.

And Sweetie Pie. She is a quirky cat. I love that!

This dog is so smart!!

I came home yesterday with a bucket of roses.

This is what I did with them:

Garden Fantasy

I have a fantasy of how a garden should be. The roses are abundant. The grass is green. Surprises await in hidden nooks. And, the creativity of found objects mixed with nature’s beauty abound.

I base my fantasy on a garden I visit every week. It’s the garden of Dr. and Mrs. Frye (Billy and Elisa). Their garden is a fantasy world of beauty and lushness. Billy’s green thumb is legendary. Let me share with you some pictures I snapped yesterday.
