Day Three Hundred Twenty One 2013

I bought this beautiful  rolling pin today at Santa’s Workshop. It was handcrafted by a guy named Phillip Cooper, who started out making pens and has since branched into other useful items such as ice cream scoops, cutting boards, and of course these great rolling pins. This one is made out of walnut, maple, and cherry. He can make things like this to order, if you’re interested. Here is his website:  http://www.cooperspens.com/  I  might have to make some Christmas cookies from scratch this year just so I can roll some dough with this pretty thing.

Ever Lovin’ Saturday













Lazy windy gray Saturday. Good day to read and rake a few leaves and make some stew and hang out with peeps. How was your day?

Day Three Hundred Nineteen 2013

Knox and Grandpa chillin’ out together, watching Thomas The Train on Netflix. Good times on a Friday evening. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Three Hundred Eighteen 2013

Another golden November day ~ the Autumn leaves are fading fast.

"The spirits of the air live on the smells
Of fruit; and joy, with pinions light, roves round
The gardens, or sits singing in the trees."
Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat;
Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak
Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load."
~William Blake, To Autumn

Day Three Hundred Seventeen 2013

Grandsons Knox and Elijah shared a snack and a TV show this afternoon after school. Elijah is the only kid I know who likes shredded mini wheats [the frosted kind]. Knox picked out and ate all of the colorful Lucky Charms marshmallows and left the cereal in the bowl. It’s all sweet on a happy hump day.
