New treasures ....

Did you go outside this morning to watch the moon?

Starting with the large picture which was taken at 6:05 AM and going from top right down and around, the pictures ended at 6:39 AM. Where the moon was after that was an area of too much light for me to capture the red moon. It really was nippy standing out there in jammies. Came right in and had my hot coffee.
Yesterday Glenda and I were out and about and I found this adorable chair

It is about 18 inches tall and the seat is about 9 inches wide. Who will sit in it? That is the question not answered ...yet. We enjoyed stopping here and there and I bought a replacement for the red umbrella with this one...

Royal Blue. The House Finches better not decide to line their nests with strings from it! Just happened that the disco ball sent parkles up under it.

I found this for the garden ....a bell in the sphere that has a gentle sound when it rings. Eye candy for the garden! About the garden, the Doves have not returned.....not sure why or where they have moved. I will leave the egg in the planter and just wait and see. I already miss the cooing in the morning and evening.
The washer has stopped swishing so I better get the laundry hung to dry. The house needs picking up so ciao for now. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

This also came home with me...a glass bubble. This is considered the large size with one a little smaller. It is about 6 inches wide...and for now the bright orange flower sits inside with sphagnum moss. I think a bright yellow or pink might look nice. I do not usually keep any of the artificial flowers from year to year. They are used outside and get pretty soiled and occasionally picked at by the birds. I will be o the lookout for something to put into the bubble.
Today will be a quiet day...no excursions. The temp is once again going to be in the low 80s so it will be nice to sit out in the garden and read and tat. I think I should tat a heart for February.

The bear has a chair

Yesterday was spent with friends Glenda and Don....shopping, or not. We set out for a few specific items but had different results. We did enjoy a nice lunch in Scottsdale at The Gelato Spot and Pizza. I had hoped to find that antique footstool but instead...

my Denny Teddy got a chair! He fits perfectly. What is twice as nice is...

The chair on the left, a people size chair is almost an exact match! It is a chair that was given to me by Tommy, a friend of my sister,  back around 1975....he got it from an antique store in New Hampshire. Sadly, Tommy passed away some years ago. I love my matching chairs! Behind the chairs is my sewing table and my bunny cover for the sewing machine.  She also is an old time gal around 25 years old from a Mc Calls pattern.
I am requesting a standing ovation...so please get ready ...yesterday I put gas in the car. That is what you are reading, my 3rd time. Not bad seeing that a full tank is lasting a month! I do need practice getting the gas cap off...a bit tricky and also not to drip gas on my toes. Luckily both the toes and the sandals are washable.
I need to go to Staples to pick up my keyboard slide this morning then get it attached to the desk. I will need a drill and screw driver bit...sounds like I know what I am doing right? We all know I have several drills to choose from but to find the bits things is another story as there are a few of them out there in the garage. The bookcase is scheduled to arrive today....an assemble yourself project!  I always find the allen wrenches they include a challenge. I am already tired just thinking of the tasks ahead. Best get some extra rest...glad you stopped by to chat. Thank you for the kind words and your friendship. Let's have a good day!
