Backing Up a Little....

After studying about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii, Drew Preston and Ellie built their own volcanoes and set them off.


Drew Preston's new accessory.
We have a lemon tree and on it's first year it produced 2 lemons! We watched them grow all summer. We hated to pick them, make lemonade and drink all our hard work in one gulp so we took the advice of a friend, thanks Sharon!, and stuck them full of cloves. That was before Thanksgiving and now, in the middle of Dec. we are still enjoying them!











Can you see the front of Ellie's dress? I made her dress and she embroidered the pumpkin for the front. :)

A word about my toaster.......

I've had it since I was a little girl, my parents let us have it in the "early married" days. I was just thinking that I needed to get a more modern, hip toaster but then I realized... it's vintage!! And I love vintage!!! So I'm keeping it. :)
When my brother and I were little, living in New York state, we used to rake our leaves into leaf houses. I taught mine to do it. It's so much fun! They have spent hours playing, raking, creating, etc.

Mudge likes it, too.
