Wishing you all a beautiful White Wednesday and a peaceful 2011...


the front and rear entrances to my potager (kitchen garden)





and no, none of these pictures were altered...this was a gift one morning...

and this is why I chose that spot for the Cake:
I turned the bend, and saw footsteps (of whose I don't know, because they stopped where I wanted the table set up)

and in case you didn't get to see my cake and setting, you can just scroll down my blog to the previous post and see more of what I did in our woods for Christmas... 

xo+Cheers,

see you in a few days!

    Stunning! Your garden is beautiful in the snow. Here in South Texas everything is just dead after a freeze! On the bright side. I can start digging new beds and working on hardscape on nice days in January since cold snaps don't last but a few days here!

    OH Anne. The pictures in your last two posts are stunning! My desire to live in the country just overflows whenever I see your farm.

    My mom has a birthday party for Jesus every year. When I was younger I thought it was goofy but now I see how much she instilled in us with a simple birthday party.

    ((hugs))... Polly

    Thank you for the kind comment on my blog. I am so thankful you stopped by so that I've found your blog. There are no words to describe these beautiful pictures. Only our Creator could have provided such a setting. I'm sure Heaven rejoiced at the beauutiful Birthday party that you provided.

    Anne - are you seriously saying that you don't know who's footsteps those were that ended at that tree? THAT just gives me the shivers. How wonderous!! :) He was leading you to place that cake there for Him....amazing. A truly amazing blessing. I can't get over how beautifully magical your potager is. Totally incredible.....Hope that your new year brings you much love and joy, and even closer to Him! ♥

    Hugs, sweet friend ~
