Just a few pictures for now.....

So sorry haven't posted much lately. Been very busy starting a new job as a Nanny/Personal Assistant and aslo for the last 2-3 weeks have been getting our home ready for our son and his wife's visit. We're so excited; they will be here tomorrow. We are so looking forward to their visit here. Will list the links for these photos soon. Have a wonderful weekend and keep smiling! There's always wonderful things all around us!

Ride Down the Country Roads With Us

Hey friends!

 

I told you earlier that the girls and I were heading to the beautiful and sweet town of Lynchburg, TN, today. 

 

We had a wonderful, relaxed, nostalgic, dreamy kind of day.

 

I would love for you to see what we saw because I know you would have loved it like we did. 

 

I have way too many pictures and I know that’s a no-no, but I truly think you will love what you see.

 

Come with us.  I’ll just let you look and won’t talk…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you had enough for today?

 

I have a few more miles to go but will come back tomorrow for that.  Okay?  Will you come back for the rest of the trip?  I sure hope so.

 

If you have never been to Tennessee, you would love it. 

 

I promise.

New Items Listed in the Shop

I am on the way out the door with my daughter’s to drive on some of the prettiest back roads in Tennessee and to eat on the square in the quaint little town of Lynchburg. 

 

Wish you could come with us! 

 

Before we go, I wanted to show you a few new items listed in my shop that just came from the Nashville Fleamarket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are just a few of the things that are already listed.

 

 

Here’s a couple of things to come over the next few days…

 

 

 

 

I found two great old sap buckets and two sweet blue bottles along with lots of other goodies that you will have to check out over the next few days.

 

 

 

 

Would love for you to go to  my SHOP and take a look around when you have a few minutes.

 

 

Have a beautiful and joy filled day, my friends!

Science Fair

Honey and I embrace the fact that dork, nerd and geek are all adjectives that could be aptly used to describe us.  After all, we did both graduate from Georgia Tech and we have been known to challenge each other to all sorts of terrifying calculus and physics stunts.  Sooooo, you can imagine how abnormally delighted we were to kick off the PCP’s very first science fair project!! 

While the family is encouraged to participate in the project, we really want this to be John’s gig.  And much to our relief, he’s just as into it as we are (I reckon he’s come by it honestly…you know, the whole apple/tree thing.)  We brainstormed project ideas as a family over the course of a few days, and the PCP decided to study “The Effect of Color on Bird Feeding Habits.” 

Here are our assumptions:

• Since birds are colorful themselves, birds can see color.
• Since birds use color to attract mates, birds must be attracted to certain colors.
• Since birds hide in the trees, birds will probably like blue food the best because it will be the most camouflaged.  (This one came directly from the PCP.)

And, our hypothesis is “Birds will prefer blue birdseed.”

We purchased three identical bird feeders and filled them each up with bird seed – one regular (our control group), one dyed red and one dyed blue.  We used food safe coloring and set to work shaking and scraping the seeds around in gallon sized zip lock bags.  The littles adored this phase of the project.  After they were tinted to our liking, we set the birdseed out on pans to dry for a few hours.


We hung the three feeders in the same tree and each day we measure how much food is left in each one.  It’s been so much fun to see the food disappear and we’ve adored watching all of the little birds that are enjoying eating from them.  (Look closely in the second picture – there are two birds dining!)


Stay tuned for the results!!  We’ve a few days left of charting before we start work on the display!!
