Wordless Wednesday -- Our Week

We've had a bit of snow this week.  Not much honestly, but enough to make Maryland drivers lose their sensibility when it comes to driving.  Good thing we spend most of our time at home.  The back yard looks serene as it comes down, with my little chicken coop over to the left.  So grey here when it snows...I miss the sparkly bright snows of Colorado.


My son practicing his violin.  He's been playing for five years now...sometimes that's hard to believe.  He does so well. :)


And for a stitching update.  It's slow going but it's going.  I only get maybe an hour a day to work on it.  This is Mirabilia's Tree of Hope. :)


Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

  5. Violin is such a difficult instrument, it's great that he started early. Beautiful landscape of your backyard. When I was in MD, if they even smelled snow they'd close everything! Happy WW!

    1. They do close everything! In Colorado you have to toughen up and just keep going because there is snow on the ground all winter. Here it's just crazy, lol. Everyone freaks at the smallest bit of snow, which is strange because it does snow here! I guess just not as much as other places. :)

  6. Really like the two trees in your first picture. I can't say anything. Growing up in PA I'm used to driving in the snow...that was until my hubby decided to get a rear wheel driving car. Sigh. Good luck with whatever snow you do (or don't) get.

    1. Hi Kris! My neighbor calls those trees the boob trees, lol!! Rear wheel driving in snow is fun. Donuts! ;)

    1. Thanks Emily! The stitching itself isn't hard, it's the counting that is. :)

    1. Aww, that's too bad. My son has been told he has no choice but to continue. Being that music ed is my career, both my children have to play something, lol

  10. Same thing happens in Seattle when it snows! Best just to stay home, because even if you know how to drive in it, no one else seems to.

    Your stitching is beautiful!

    I love the violin. I took it up in college — such a beautiful instrument. Except when I play. ;)

    1. Thanks Lauren! I'm sure it's not so bad. Too bad I'm not closer, I'd offer to give you lessons. :)

    2. By not too bad, I mean the violin playing, not the driving, lol
