Puttering
One of my favorite things to do around the house is putter. It's fun just to take something from one room and put it in another. I had a few pieces of china on our breakfast table and replaced it with some blue glass. In the morning when the sun is shining it sparkles!
I also have a pot of artificial gerbera daisies on the table. I love them because they look so real. Here's a close up.
One time we were having a party and 2 of the guests were discussing whether the daisies were real or not and one of them said that yes they were real, that she had felt them! Anyhow I love the color and it is a great compliment with the blue.
I love how the light catches the glass and casts a beam on the tablecloth.
The sun makes it shimmer and sparkle.
Sitting here admiring the light on the glass and enjoying the warmth of the sun pouring in the window, it is easy to forget about the frigid weather outside. So much for global warming!
Anyhow, back to puttering. I hope you enjoy your day.

I Love North Carolina
Good afternoon friends
I love living in North Carolina! I am originally from Canada and by now they have had some snow and there is the bleak prospect of 4 months of winter. But today...Here I am planting pansies in pots on the deck and picking a few last blooms from the garden! It's wonderful!
The day started out with the tiniest bit of pink in the sky.
As I worked I could hear the rustle of the little Carolina Wrens pecking about in the dry leaves and the sound of my neighbor raking his leaves.
I picked a few flowers that were still blooming in the garden and put them on the kitchen windowsill: knockout roses, phlox,beautyberry and a little white something.
Then I picked a bunch of blue salvia so the arrangement had to expand to the other window too. I have had a collection of blue bottles forever it seems and every home we've moved to there has always been a kitchen windowsill for them to sit in and reflect the sun. I love the way the sun shines through them.
This is a close up of the salvia guaranitica. It is the most wonderful color of blue and grows 5 feet tall. Just spectacular in the garden.
This time of year we have camellias blooming, which is just amazing to me to have anything blooming in the garden in December. Come outside with me and I will show you a great bush we have in the garden.
For some reason I could only enter 5 photos so I will so another post for the others. Come with me into the garden.
