Bountiful Harvest

Here is DH Cal with a big box of pears. In the poolhouse/tool shed are many more! These are only about a third of the harvest.
Now, Poirier is Pear tree in French. Perhaps it is not surprising that I have a particular affinity for the fruit of the tree that shares my name!
Yummy, delightful days ahead.
Pear tart, anyone?

Here is the final LO I did last night. "Baker's Dozen" BPS class. I recommend taking the class if it is offered again!


Here are two other LO's I did last night at the My Green Tangerines crop. Another BPS class assignment. Cal thinks I need to make a brown snail body as it is obvious I modified a ladybug but I may not be so ambitious!




It has been a while since I uploaded any new projects. Last night I was very productive and here is the basic and very easy mini book I made. I think the BPS class Have More Fun has some great ideas. This is one of them. Normally, I hate those mini books where you have to paste all the paper on the chipboard, etc. This mini book is one style I WILL make again!

Grandson Taylor was over last night. He is ending his visit to California so we were so glad he could come by with his aunt and uncle, Joe and Cathy Barwick, and cousin Amanda.

The pool was thoroughly enjoyed! Tay loves to show off and keep us smiling.

I got home just in time for the pizza out of the oven and the peach pie (just a tiny slice as I really do stick to my diet most of the time). Lots of fun conversations! Found out the funny nicknames the 4 oldest Barwick boys called themselves as children. I need to do a scrapbook page on that one! Dear readers, I'll keep you in suspense until then.

Took lots of pictures and really need to work on the photograpy. It's a priority for the weekend! I WILL read the manual and stop using my camera as a very expensive point and shoot!

Just back from visiting Mom in the Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.

 Nothing spices up February like discovering your on-again-off-again gentleman friend is shopping for new prospects online.  I know you find...
