Christmas Open House & Customer Appreciation!

December 6th & 7th brought lots of free gifts with purchase and homemade goodies to our annual Christmas Open House. The weather was not too agreeable here in the heartland of Ohio! Our December started out more like our January weather!

LOTS of Neat Stuff to Look At / Rusty Tin Roof Site!

I have two things of importance to tell you today.

One being, I am pleased as punch to be selected to be interviewed for My Country Heart, by our Lemon Poppy Seeds group at their Rusty Tin Roof site. And appear in their summer addition Prim Craft Magazine!!!!!!! Find it on page 14. Really exciting for me. Take a short visit, to the very interesting magazine. It's FREE! And, save it to your favorites. I have also been selected as a guest writer. (Yep, sometimes I like to jot down some short thoughts!) So check out the new FALL issue to come and look for my stories. It's one of my very favorite things to do:-) Look for the Lemon Poppy Icon on this page to visit all the fab stuff on there from some way fantastic folkart designers!


Secondly, here's my best picture of the season, to share with you all, "the last rose of summer". I don't like to see the beautiful summer leave our mist. Sooooo, I think I can for one short minute capture it's rapture. So can you!

What Is This?

Well, I wondered what was eating all the tops off the backyard foilage. One plant after another, gone.

It's this little napping-sunbather- critter, making himself at home on my deck! And not afraid to be seen! Just taking it easy after a huge meal.

He's got to go, but how? He dug a big hole where the bees were or something did. And, I saw him yesterday just takin' his time, coming up the path after a little dip in the lake.

Hope I didn't disturn you......

Here's Bosco Looking Up At Me....

Here I am, enjoying the morning sunshine

and I have another visitor on our deck. It's Bosco, the neighbor, who also has a live-in cat-partner named Poppy! She likes to watch the action on the deck., too. Her favorite day dreaming perch is the ivy patch. Where there is alot of chipmonk action.

Doesn't she have a pretty face?

Now Check Out What He Is Doing...

Check out the same squirrel doing a balancing act on the finial. He is still trying to find the birdfeeder solution that he cannot reach.

I think he is trying to show that he can indeed be crafty, even if he can't get those juicy seeds. Ha!

What Next Will Be Out There?

Can you see this dern squirrel? He climbed up the pine tree trying to get the bird feeder on the back porch. He can't reach it from above, so he is trying a different approach.

He is one of the things I see when I am sitting in my favorite spot on the back porch enjoying morning coffee with Cocoa on my lap. At one point he was hanging from his tail, upside-down, trying to come up with a way to get the goods. More to come.....

Just a Preview!!!!!! Coming Soon To My Site

Here's a brand new primitive doll creation just off the drawing board! She will be available soon. She is dressed in old blue and white quilt and carries all her antiques in a box. She will be available on Lemonpoppyseed.com on Sept. 15, see her in more detail then.....:-)
