A Gift of Cookies

2006 HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006
I've had a good year and it will be a better one in 2006. Our eldest daughter will be giving us a granddaughter in the spring, we are very excited:) I hope the coming year is kind and good to all. Well about the picture, these are cookies for New Years Day, we are spending time with family and friends. This recipe is from my sister-in-law, when she makes these Ginger Molasses Cookies they come out soft and puffy, mine are more like a gingersnap but not quite as hard. They are still very tasty and maybe one day I can get them to be like hers:(

Green Fix

I took this about a month ago when I needed a green fix. For the life of me I can't remember the name of this plant. In the summer it has small yellow flowers and the plant, when touched is fragrant. It forms a nice mound and just looks good all the time, just wish I could remember...

Circle of Snow

A coneflower seedhead with a snowy scarf. (sorry, back to reality)

a ton o' blooms

Just needed some flowers:-)

'Twas the night before Christmas...

Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. - Clement C. Moore

Christmas Star

This is my Christmas tree star refected in a mirror.

More Santas:-) 

I Love Santa

This is a photo from our October vacation and now is the perfect time to post. I snapped this in Pennsylvania at the National Christmas Center, what a neat place.

Open Wide

The flowers of the Rose of Sharon may be gone, but the seeds linger on.

Life Is Good ~ Happy Birthday To Me

This post is for me, DAWN - 47 tomorrow and loving every day! Life Is Good. This is a Dawn Redwood at the local college here in town, such soft needles but a very sturdy tree(very much like me:)

Snowflake Spinning on a Spiderweb:)

This snowflake was caught on a spiderweb and was just dangling and spinning around.
For Mom:)

Snow Board

This lone flake was caught on the side of the shed, wish I could get closer:(
For Mom:)

Come alittle bit closer...
