We had dinner at Montano's International Restaurant tonight. Too bad I don't like beer ~ they have an unbelievable selection. This is just one display ~ there's more!
This afternoon, Mr. Magic and I enjoyed some Christmas cheer at a local business Open House that we were invited to. These pansies were growing in the flower garden at the entrance. SO beautiful!
Wally, Therry, and I enjoyed our Living the Creative Life gathering at TAAZA Roanoke. Not one of us completed our art piece with the theme of "LI". Wally and Therry did show some sketches they've been working on. We will keep the same theme and meet on January 31. Details to follow!
This fellow has been running, jumping, and climbing all over the front yard this morning searching for goodies to store for the Winter. He is one of several who took residence here a long time ago.
While dusting this morning, I took photos of my bedroom statues: St. Joseph, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa, Infant Jesus of Prague, Mother Mary, and Angels. The small crucifix in front was my Grandfather's. These are all special to me.
She and her little ones were in the yard below the windows early this morning. Jake startled them by barking and Momma spotted me in the window with my camera. She never took her eyes off me until I left.
We planted this tiny tree from a hickory nut in this pot early this summer and have been nurturing it. SO happy to see the leaves have changed color. It will be fun to watch it grow.
Mr. Magic and I had lunch outside by the fire, at Macado's today. Really enjoyed it. I wanted to spend the entire afternoon just sitting by the fire, but chores and errands won out.
Our ornamental pear tree still has pretty leaves. All our other trees are bare. It was 60* today with a clear beautiful blue sky. Not bad for late November!
Picked up this adorable S/P set last night at Buy The Season. They are perfect for my choir altar boys/angels collection that I put out for Christmas each year. It's time to unwrap and set them up!
Off they go back to South Carolina. How I love it when they are here to spend time with. I miss them already (so does Jake). Asking God to watch over them and protect them on their journey back to Charleston.
John Reburn (Appalachia Press), you have the BEST stuff!! Hadn't been to Black Dog Salvage in quite a while. Casey, Amanda, and I went this afternoon. I barely got to look around ~ spent the entire time in your booth and purchased these treasures!
