Clematis !! That is how you spell it

Yes, this is the Clematises in the summer!!! The day before my Birthday there was this one lone Clematis out there in a very cold spell blooming for me. If that was not a gift from God, I don't know what else you would call it.

This is the front driveway. The 6 foot fence goes beside the driveway and comes up to an area that can be seen from the front door. So when a car come up to the front gate I can see who it is.

Well my friends Tom has planed to come home this afternoon and than be home until Monday.

I hope his plans work out. If they do I will only be on the computer very little.

Merry Christmas and happy times for you all!!!!

I hope Santa brings you all Joy and Peace!!

Love you all lots, Bambi, Happy and Fern

God gave me a birthday gift !!

Yesterday TV said our temperature was 29 degrees. Well I guess it was not that cold here because this is what I found on our morning walkies. I can't tell you the name of this flower because I can't spell it. I know it's name but I can't spell it. Is anybody out there that can tell me who to spell it?? This is a summer flower! It should not be blooming in the dead of winter.

I have some pictures of it blooming away in the summer time. I will show you those pictures tomorrow. Thank-you God for my wonderful birthday present!!!

This is our crop of Christmas cactus!! Beautiful!!! Another present!! I believe every plant, every tree is a gift from God!! Every animal, every child, all gifts. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if everybody in this world felt the same way!!!!!!!!!!! There would be no just killing to kill in this world!!!!!! I can dream on my birthday!!!!!

Thank-you Rocky Creek Scotties for the birthday post!!!! We love all of you so much!!!!!!

This is going to be a great day Lynn, thank-you!!!

I want to thank-you all so much for enriching my life. Making it fun to get out of bed each morning to see what my blog comments are. It is an adventure each day to connect with you!!!!

I love you all , Fern

Quilts

Good Morning blogger friends,
When I started quilting I did not know that I was quilting!!! The first vest I ever made was made out of corduroy and I loved it. The next vest was just made out of 100 percent cotton and with making that vest I learned that I really wanted more to the vest then 2 layers of cotton.
Batting was bought to put in the middle of the next vest. Still I really didn't know what I was doing. I made another vest of just cotton with the batting in the middle and at that time I knew I needed to sew these layers together. But only with experience did I learn how much sewing-quilting needed to be done when making a quilted vest. I joined the quilt club in spring of 97 and started going to the meetings. I picked up a lot in a short time and this is my first quilt made in summer and autumn of 97. It is not real good and it is not too bad. It hangs in my sewing room and I love it there. It reminds me of how far I have come.


I have a special couple of pictures I will show you tomorrow, my birthday!!

I hope you have a good day, I'll be back tomorrow. Please come and see then.
Love you all lots, Bambi, Happy and Fern

Thank-you Thank-you !!!!

Thank-you my wonderful blog friends !! I can not express how important you all are to me.
Everyone of you are very special, very special indeed !!!
The computer has changed my life for the better in so many ways !!!! I can not imagine living without the computer ever again.!!!

Next Tuesday is my birthday and I am getting really old !!!! I had started to get a little senile !!
But not anymore. I am not very fast at typing and there is a whole bunch more to learn but I am coming along. You all are helping keep my mind busy. My body is healing as I type a comment or a blog to you. Thank-you so very much !!!!!!!!

I hope all has a safe and happy week-end !!!!
Love you all, Fern

One Week to Christmas--Dogs and Me

It is a very rainy day again here!!! We have had our share of rain in December this year. It really has not rained every day it just seems like it has rained every day. Today they fore casted

rain all day. They think we will have 3- 5 inches. I am going to have to dig up Amanda's rain coat so Bambi will go outside.

Above is Amanda busy receiving pee mail at the park we went to every morning. There were hardly ever anyone there . Usually just us.

Here I am getting older and fatter. I made what I am wearing. That is a fleece vest with Embroidery white flowers and leaves on the fleece.

Bambi showing where she had her lumps removed, that are growing back!! Where they did surgery the hair has not grown back! The vet says the hair probably will not grow back. See her skin there just in front of her hind leg. Tom says we will probably have to cut them off again.

This time there are twice as many as there was before. Not looking forward to that!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been good talking to you on this rainy Friday, one week before Christmas.

If you are not a follower, become a follower. I love my followers!!! I love all my blog friends. You are my world!!! I don't get out much!!!

Come back to see me often.

Bambi send you wet kisses and I send you warm dry good wishes, Fern
