Pioneer Wedding

Well, our very long very nice weekend is over and the wedding was wonderful.

The couple had a Pioneer Wedding at an historical museum in Austin. They met for the first time while volunteering at the museum.

They married outside an old German Cabin.

The reception was held through the woods down by the creek; they danced to a Bluegrass Band.
The cake was simple and elegant.
Everyone had a wonderful time sitting around on old benches and quilts; it was very much a picnic style reception.

It was so nice visiting with family and friends but it feels so good to be back home.

Wedding Celebration

Saturday my nephew is getting married in Austin. Elizabeth and I spent much of today and yesterday getting the house in order and packing our things.Now all we lack is for Jonathan to pack and we will be on our way by noon on Thursday for a long weekend of celebration, good food and a semi-family reunion.

Looks Can Be Deceiving

These over ripe bananas have seen better days;
And today is that day!
The house smells so good; there isn’t a Yankee candle on the market that can match this smell.

Bargain Dress

Today's bargain is a new dress.I love how comfortable it is.
The cost was a whopping 45-cents!

The Sunrise

Today I stepped outside and took a picture of the sun as it was coming up. Were getting closer to Hot Chocolate Mornings.

Burning The Late Night Oil

Last night I was up quit late working in the sewing room; an embroidery customer needed little cheerleader tops embroidered ASAP. It was after 1AM by the time my head hit the pillow.
But it was so worth it knowing that 13 little girls would be jumping and cheering while dressed in style.

The Chicken's New Home

The chickens are quickly approaching maturity so we have moved them to a new home. We have used this old hen house off and on for years and it feels good to have it in use once again.
The inside is very spacious.
There is plenty of room for egg boxes, a feeder and water supply. My favorite part of housing chickens in there is the ladder we have set on an angle; I love seeing the chickens roost on it.
Any day now we are expecting to find freshly laid eggs.
