Have I ever told you how much I love DOORS?

The Pantheon doors...20 ft. high? Oh, and thats Jim sitting down in the blue coat and blue shirt.Kinda gives you a perspective!

Yea, these arn't door but they were so cute! And they ride
them!
These doors were on the old farmhouse we stayed in while picking olives in Spoleto.




Snohomish doors..............


I love doors! All different kinds of doors! Some for their historical and architectural features, some for personality and the house it goes with. Of course I fell in love with many doors in Europe and took lots of pictures but it was so endless I had to stop. Do you think I'll ever get my dream door? I pretty much doubt it but I like my door now, mainly because it lets light into my rather dark entry way. You ask "What's my dream door look like?". Well, it'd be double doors with a curved top and heavy wonderful wood. I can't put all my favorite door pictures on but I'll put a few on of doors in Snohomish, some from Italy and my door poster from Ireland. Jim and I had a "door" experience when we were in Rome at the Pantheon.We were the first ones there and it was supposed to be open (though barely). A man appeared and Jim asked him about the time and he said he was opening. He unlocked the door and with Jims help was able to open it all the way. It took two of them using all their strength to open it. Tall and heavy. Gosh, I just love those beautiful doors!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
