My Own Colorado Winter Wonderland

 Welcome to my Winter Wonderland!

Come on over through the gate and take a look around!

The trees are covered with a beautiful snow!

I have been whisked up into a postcard of White!

On heavy cloudy days it almost appears in shades of black and white! 

The pine trees are so heavy in their strong branches as the weight from the snow weights them down.

 

 Even the birds are staying in, no picnic today!  

 Planting a yardstick in the white powder is a fun way to measure how much snow we got on this particular day.

 The trees and fence never fail to give my camera a pretty picture. I feel like a grand photographer!

 

It seems so silent and still. A quiet moment in this cold beautiful weather.

But life has not stood still. Yes, I have to adventure out in this weather. The fog was very thick!

 But when the sun comes out, all the snow crystals are divine!

 God has painted a wonderful blanket in white!

 

Even the barbed wire and phone lines are frosted. This is my view of Pikes Peak with the fog! 

Then this is my view another snowy day with no fog. The Colorado Rocky Mountains.

I am so blessed to be surrounded with all this winter beauty.

Hope you enjoyed your visit. I am really happy that you came by!

God bless you,

Vintage Doll and Pixie and Pyrex Friendship Cinderella bowls

Hello! What have you been up to lately? 

I been hanging out at thrift stores a lot this year, haha!

I found some great things including these sweet dolls. One is a Bendable Pixie that lays on your bed. I think her face is so pretty. Another favorite is this little blinking eye doll! She also has the sweetest face!

I discovered the red doll bed a while back! It even has a sweet little decal on it and it is red! I just had to add it to my collection of toys, which was small but is growing!

My sister blessed me with this beautiful set of vintage Pyrex Cinderella mixing bowls! Aren't they stunning? The pattern is called,  Friendship. It was such a generous and thoughtful gift. The color is vivid and they are near perfect!

I also have fun playing with the photo editors. I like this black and white version!

I been suffering from so many migraines this year and now they are up to 4-6 six days a week. So that is miserable along with Fibro, etc But I keep a positive attitude as much as I can. Tend to get behind on many things and that can bother me a lot, too.

But I always pray for tomorrow and that it will be better!

I pray you are doing good.

God bless you,

Misty Morning Makes Chickens Dance!

 How is your summer going?
I woke up to the most beautiful wet day yesterday!
So I grabbed my camera and walked outside for some pictures.

 It always has made me feel so calm and happy when the fog rolls in.

I just had to admire the beautiful way my yard looks and the outline of all the trees.
Doesn't it look pretty?

Then I walked around back to visit my chickens and they were so happy that 

they did the Chicken Dance!!

I tell you I think happiness is contagious!!

Have a very happy and blessed day today!!

P.S. I wish I could tell you how I made this little loop of the chickens dancing, but honestly it was one of those Happy Accidents! I accidentally did this thinking it was a still shot! I have no idea how I did this, but it was on my cell phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sorry, that I can not how to tell anyone how to do this? :)
