Blue glass in the window and more ...

 

* ~ ... There is nothing more better for me than Blue glass in the window with the sun shinning through, It's just so pretty to me.. It warms my heart and feels good ...

I really love waking up in the morning and walking into my kitchen and see it light up through the warmth of the sun...

The Turquoise Bombay bottle my daughter gave to me.. I love it.. My tiny African violet has also done well in this window.. It wasn't doing anything after I bought it with blooms on it... they just went away and there it was sadly looking. but look at it now in this window it's lovin it..

It was in this little tiny pot.. so little.. but I transfered into this little one and It's just so happy now.. I have another one in the window to the left and it's stuck in place lol.. so I moved it over to this window so we will see if it too comes alive..

The other large one to the left Is growing crazy man... the leaves started out tiny and now they are huge.. I don't remember the name of it but it's orginal start was from my great Aunt Vera.. some fourty years ago..  she since long ago passed on ... It's almost to the ceiling.. I had it big before but it had got broken.. from moving and I have a part of it in another spot but it's large but the leaves are not I think this window is magical..

I love my ducks.... I will never give them up ...I'm Off to the Garden to pick some tiny flowers for my vase.  Soon they will be all gone until Spring.. A friend from Myspace days sent this to me.. I love this little vase maybe before was a creamer it was featured I believe in Country Living.. I just love when I get or find something and it appears in a great magazine..

 

Sweet Love... 

Tiny tomatoes still coming out.. nice .. picked herbs to use in my Stuffing, I'm not celebrating but we decided to have a celebration of life at Mama's house we have done a lot of cleaning ... It's not all that but clean enough to bring family together.. We haven't been together since Mama died 8 months ago.. *

so before we all drift off to some other land I think it's time..

Last two large Tomatoes.. and figs from the tree in the back it's the neighbors but it extended into my place, I cut it before but it just came back stronger .. so this year it made tons of figs.. but now the leaves are falling off and the figs are leaving ..

There are some way up high but I couldn't reach them.. It actually a lovely looking tree...

Lettuce and herbs.. parsley chives thyme the silly snails got into my lettuce I found two tiny ones.. darn things good thing I went to look through the lettuce this morning ..I might have had lettuce lace.. lol..

Don't you love going into the Garden early morning I do. . It's the most peaceful time,... just the birds are up and about singing a little ..

Lemons.... *  There is a old Lemon tree in the very back of the Garden the first two years it was barely producing Lemons, but this year they popped out all over the place.. I love the Garden it's sad I have to leave one day again but the next Garden will be mine to keep.. Can't wait...

Berries are still coming.. *  hopefully I will get them for morning Oatmeal before the birds do..

Nice indeed, it's always a wonderful morning when  there's a good trip to the Garden...  wouldn't you agree... this bowl is new it's from temptations (Q.V.C.)  this is my second set there are several pieces to them  i really love the pattern on this one.  It's called Floral Lace, pretty name.. Temptations has there own site as well.. but a lot of the time you can get good deals on it with Q.V.C. ..

From Susan Branch.... she is an Aurther and Blogger etc... I long time ago found a recipe book from her at a goodwill and fell in love with her.. later over the years I found her blog looked at a bit but really didn't have time with Mama being sick and all.. Recently I have spent time back reading her blog which I truly love.. It's for me quite Inspirational..
The night before me and Vee made her lovely Brownies.. gosh they smelled so good no one could hardly wait she said to get the full affect to wait.. hah.. well let me tell you that really didn't happen we were like brownie addicts trying to eat hot brownies. lol.. terrible but they were surely fantastic.. have to make them again real soon my only complaint as well as everyones else's was Why didn't we make a double batch lol.. Awesome they were for sure.. Thank you Susan for the recipe..

Ruby Red and Clear Glass

Pretty candlestick holders, from the Thrift town across the bay when I went to visit with my daughter and grandchildren.. I saw these and loved them right from the start.. Two of them just 7 dollars for the both.. I like the style.. It speaks Victorian to me for sure.. I love the double holders and the etched flowers..they are more prettier in person..

Tried to get a close up but it didn't come out to good.. I just love their cuts and curves Fancy I'd say, wouldn't you..

Just lovely, I love the red dish and candlesticks... I love red I sometimes often think my house or kitchen should have red..so I decided to take off the Autumn table and make this one with the new Clear Depression Glass dishes that I had found at the Goodwill..

The red glass plates are from Avon, Cape Cod they are called I just love them.. so red and pretty and lovely with the white and clear glass... I know you are all thinking it's for Christmas but it's not I just wanted to change my table and use the new clear plates..

Salt & Pepper shakers so sweet I couldn't get the top on right though this time for some reason.. I have to give it another try.. but I adore them..

A Creamer & Sugar set, just as sweet... Pink Red Roses... I can't live without Roses I buy them myself these days.. I had quite a few given to me over the years.. but I have to say I don't mind buying my own.. I love love Roses ... and fill my bedroom living room and dinning table with them always..

Ruby Red Cape cod glass napkin rings...  I think I should switch to white linen napkins..

Ruby Red Cape cod serving dish... they are so pretty in the sun light..

And Tea, from yesteryears... love this so much.. I hope and wish you a most enchanted weekend full of love & laughter..  Blessings my friends
with love
Janice................ ps.. I feel better today thank you for your kind words and friendship..

Though most of the Garden is dying down I still have some tomatoes and lettuce Swiss Chard which these somethings are making it turn brown and wilt.. It was so pretty.  It was rainbow Chard.. darn bugs etc.. so I guess I'm going to have to ripe it out

Just wanted to touch basis on me..

I'am also looking to our Lord and Father for strength.. seems I can't get no help otherwise

Though I did apply for that help with hospice and have a appointment tomorrow

thank you friends for your support..

My Chives are doing well they made seeds and blew all over.. so now little chives are poppin up all over the Fluffy Rose Garden.. I recently found some actual Carnation big ones which I planted in this area but forgot the photos.. I haven't been able to find them like years ago.. 

I planted several bulbs yesterday, some paperwhites, which I recently learned of.. they are so sweet.. they will be coming up any minute the shoots where already coming out.. Two I put in the Kitchen window and One bigger in the Living Room.. can't wait to see them.  Nothing pleases me more than tiny blooms

I also planted many Freesias 

(not my photo)

 

I put a bunch in the large Rose Pot I have the Rose is going dormit now.. these will be comin up early spring.. I planted O darn I forgot the name.. umm O my I must be getting older I'm getting so forgetful now..

I will have to look for the name..   

but I also bought some lite purple crocus

 they are so pretty.. when I move to Mama's one day hopefully soon.. I have the perfect Garden in mind

Before when I lived here I had cleaned the whole Garden and spent at least 500.00 If not way more on it put some grass and all.  They let it all die when I moved out.. just my multi colored Rose bush is still there and the little Lemon Tree...

So I will have to start all over.. I told the kids I hope I can see everything fix and God allows me to settle in for a while to enjoy what never was.. .

These little guys, I just love them...  grape hyacinths.. doesn't seem like the right name to me.. but that's what it said.. I can't wait till Spring already.. It's so funny how you just wait for certain things to come.. well

my friends,

 I think I learn a thing or two this past two weeks.. I guess you just can't go backwards in life no matter how

much you want to.. You have to leave the past alone.  People change and become different in many ways. Whether you truly love someone or not.. It is what it is.  and even though they say they care and they don't    act like it. I don't know.. but that's not me.  If I tell you I care it's because I truly do.  I don't pretend and I     don't okie dok things.  And I'm glad for that.. The man from my past is not someone I'd like to know any     longer.  He is definetely not the man I knew.  or maybe I really never knew him at all.  I was young and with no wisdom or knowledge of life.. I do know this that I did love him and kept him in my heart my whole life.. 

I was sad everytime he came to see me and left.  But its over with now. I took the box down and delt with it even though it hurt.  I had so many mixed emotions.  Not knowing where I stood in his life even though he had one.. He made it clear to me at any rate I wasn't no where near first nor even second in his life at all.. I was some where on the back burner and when or if he had a moment he spare some time for me..   God showed me who he is in more ways than one.. I don't wish to be a secret in anyones life never for anyone.. There is no amount of love that would make me do that never...

so the little box is now closed forever what will be will be..

with love Janice
