hello 2012

It's like the 4th of July down here in Texas.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!!

keeping watch over the blaze

I'm still taking some time off but I just had to pop in and show you all how Jim and our son-in-law Bill spent a good part of a day.  The pile eventually did burn all the way down and what's left is just a pile of ashes. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, we sure did.

merry christmas

I'd like to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Christmas from Jim and I here at Gentle Hearth Farm.  I plan to take a little bit of a break, as family is coming in starting tonight, and after Christmas we'll be getting ready for our trip south.  I'll try to pop in and see you all when I can.

Merry Christmas!

mrs snowman has been keeping an eye on things around here

My shopping is all done, the gifts are wrapped, shipped, and now I can breathe easier and just concentrate on baking, cleaning, and meal planning, which I find all so much easier than shopping.  I'm almost done with the second fingerless glove, not sure what I'll work on next.  After Christmas Mr and I are heading down to Texas for the month of January.  I CAN'T WAIT...can you tell I'm excited.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

on to the next one

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Our son Dan and his wife Kelli came and they brought along their Godson Dylan. 

It was a busy weekend with wagon rides.

A train ride and getting to see Santa.

It definitely was worth the wait.

We also spent some time at the park.

The only bad thing about going to the park in November, the drinking fountains are shut off for the winter.

I hope you all who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful one.  After our company left we took a long walk and settled down for a relaxing afternoon/evening.  Today I'm off to a friends home to sew all day.  I hope to show you what quilting projects I've been working on.

wishing you all a blessed and

I'm giving thanks for my health and my family and friends, and for you my blogging friends.  May you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

I am taking some time off from this blog and my photo blog to spend time with family that will be here this weekend.

happy 4th everyone!

you and i

 

when you hurt, i hurt

when you cry, i cry

when you smile, i smile

when you sing, i sing

when you feel, i feel

when you laugh, i laugh

when you love, i love

when you soar, i soar

when you heal, i heal

 

Happy Fathers Day to my wonderful, beautiful, husband.

to all who have served

Thank You!

SOOC~Sunday

 

I'm linking with Jan over at Murrieta 365 for SOOC Sunday.

This cross can be found where the Ohio river and the Mississippi river meet at the southern most tip of Illinois.  It's the Fort Jefferson Memorial Cross at the Confluence.  The only thing I did to this photo was crop it.  Since it's Easter today, I thought this photo was fitting.  I will be posting more on this later.

Wishing you all a very Blessed Easter.
