A Beautiful Day

We woke up this morning to a blue sky day

Temps in the low 80's

........so we decided to get the boat ready

and head for the coast

We launch at Seadrift, Texas

about 45 minutes from our house

It just doesn't get any better than this!!



Hubby fished



I enjoyed the sun and sea air,
read my book,
and snapped pictures of
the beauty all around me





Caught this guy making his landing!

This barge came by

while we were docked

It got the dolphins stirred up

and they were popping up everywhere

but I couldn't get a picture

they move too fast

It's the last day of November
and we spent it out in the sun
enjoying God's beauty

Every Little Birdie says -

We are truly blessed

Simple Sideboard

I'm continuing to keep it simple

as I decorate my sideboard

This year I went with a "snow" theme
Snow men, snow flakes,
and a let it snow chalkboard
(wishful thinking in South Texas)

and I topped it all off with this

cute little angel

Dining Room finished!!

......Now on to the living room

Every Little Birdie says -

Check back to see how

the Christmas decorating

is going at Birdie's Nest

A Blue Christmas???

Continuing to keep it simple.......

Yesterday I decorated my

dining room table

There are hints of blue

in my dining room

...so I decided to
step out of my comfort zone
and decorate my table
with a blue Christmas theme



I used the mason jars that I had tinted blue/green
filled them with ornaments and put a small
jar in the top with a candle

Found the cute bottle brush trees at
Hobby Lobby
Perfect size to sit in a tea cup

I don't have much wall space
in my dining room
but I love this art piece
of an old blue french door

 the blues don't all match

but I'm kind of a

mix and match gal

Every Little Birdie says-

OK, friends give me your comments....

What do you think???  Does it work or not????

Simple Christmas

I'm trying to do simple this year

when it comes to decorating my home

for Christmas

Not sure I'll be able to pull it off

but I'm going to try

Years past I start simple

but over time it turns

into a winter wonderland

that covers every square inch

of my home

My motto for this year

K. I. S. S.

Yesterday I decorated my

table on the screened porch

Doesn't this look simple but pretty

I love decorating with mason jars!!!!

A mini Christmas tree

in a shabby bird house

That's Every Little Birdie's style

Found the little thin silver trees at Walgreen's

last year on the 75% off rack!!!!

I think I've done a good job so far

of keeping it simple

Check back in a day or so to see if

I'm still decorating

Every Little Birdie says -

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

all through the house!!

Dreaming

Now that Thanksgiving is over

I'm dreaming about

Christmas decorating

Here are some styles

I love and would like

to incorporate into my

decorating this year

What's your style?????

Every Little Birdie says -

Let the decorating begin......

Saturday in the country

We woke up this morning

and decided it was time to

head outside and

work off all that holiday food

Hubby fixed a big bowl of 

piping hot malt o meal,

to warm us up since it was cold outside

then we headed out to trim branches

and cut down a couple

of dead trees

one down, one to go

Once we had a pile of branches

we started our burn pile

While hubby tended the fire

I loaded the wheel barrow

with more wood

but not everyone was hard at work

I guess someone had to supervise

Hubby fed this fire with branches

and tree trunks all day long



Pixie rewarding Hubby for all his hard work

We love our country life!!


From sitting on the screened porch drinking
our morning coffee
to working outside cutting down trees

.....it's all good



Every Little Birdie says -

I love tending this beautiful piece

of land where God has planted me!!
