Regarding Purple Fingers and Self-Portraiture

Growing up in a family of six children, it is a strange feeling indeed when one is the only child at home for three days (all the others were camping in MI). Happily, I found a sufficient number of activities to occupy my time. =) Between reading, school, washing laundry and dishes, having company, and experimenting with new recipes the time passed quite pleasantly.

{It was so delightful in the garden, picking flowers and veggies}

{I had never really taken any reflection self-portraits before ...... I had fun =}

{No Peter Rabbits in Mr. McFredrickson's Garden ;}

{The Cause of My Purple Fingers}

{Fresh Kale and Beet Salad...Purple Fingers were Worth It}

{I had a lovely time; however, I am glad to be the 4th of six again =}

Ta-ta,

A Happy Day

The Heidster and I have been spick-and-spanning from one end of the house to the other; {hence the Cleaning Hat and messy hair} because, tomorrow we have company! =) I do find cleaning a relaxing past time, and I'm very glad that Heidi was inspired to share it with me...we enjoyed ourselves. =)

As a reward for cleaning, we played Authors and had tea.

{she won the first game, I won the second}

Following our game, we had more tea and read for the remainder of the afternoon.

{Dickens and Tea...a definite favorite}

I call that a Happy Day =)

Ta-ta,

Phia
