Tennessee Icicles

The ice, while a bit of a pain, does make for fun photography. Ice encased rose limb? A bird pondering his decision to stay in Tennessee versus better weather?
Stay safe, and stay warm!

Fa la la la la la la la la

I finally sent out this year’s Christmas cards – digitally. We’re goin’ greener (and cheaper) this year. We used Hallmark’s Smilebox and I was pretty pleased. Every year I want to include pictures of the boys in our cards, but by the time I get the pics made, I end up not printing enough or [...]

Would you like some pasta with your veggies?

So, I am officially in like with allrecipes.com. BHE has a liking for fettuccine alfredo, but since it’s fat-laden goodness is not exactly in tune with a healthy lifestyle, I tend not to make it. Enter Smarter Fettuccine Alfredo:

This is a good base recipe for a light fettuccine alfredo, but I made several adjustments. I [...]

The Leaf Perspective

For the superhero photo challenge at Shutter Sisters:

Shot this while on a nature walk with BHE and the boys. Love the way the light hit the moss. I’m a sucker for moss.
If you haven’t taken a good nature walk this fall, GO before the leaves are all gone. Here in Tennessee, it’s looking beautiful – [...]

We did it for the boys, especially for the Monkey since he loves science and [...]

The Green Thumb Gene Passed Me but I’ll Try Anyway

OK, if you’re wanting to do a little gardening this spring, this is fabulous (mine is significantly smaller and was only a couple of bucks from Walmart, but it’s the same thing). On Friday, Monkey and I started with seeds; today we have this:

Aren’t they cute? I am just ecstatic because I apparently lack the [...]

So, global warming…

I should go to bed but since I’m actually inspired to write now I’m going to roll with it.
While browsing my bloggy links, I found (via Nashville is Talking – I’m too lazy to link, so look to your right) a post or two on global waming – you know, the “global warming is some [...]

Bird Huntin’

This redbird has been hanging out at our house for quite a while. Redbirds always stand out to me – aside from being so very pretty, they remind me of my grandmother, who loved redbirds. I think I first noticed him in January. When it snowed, I’d see him – those bright red feathers against [...]

Honoring the Dead?

I took the above last spring in Franklin, Tennessee, at a historic cemetery. The scene above – the random, aged gravestone against the stone wall – struck me at the time, and when it came across the screensaver today and it struck me again. I’m not sure what the cause was for the location of [...]
