WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE

TEN THINGS OF THANKFUL



1. I'm thankful for bacon - Everything always seems to taste better with bacon. I love BLT sandwiches.

Yes bacon is awesome but did you know you can use it for, Art?  Check out this bacon art.

2. I'm thankful for walks around our neighborhood where I can see things like this.

3. I'm thankful for being able to drive around and find different things to share and for people who dare to be different.

Not your typical color for a door but I like it.  Here are some other unusual doors.

4.  I'm thankful for Food Bloggers.  There you can find great recipes for food like this: Beef Tips and Gravy (Found HERE)

5.  I'm thankful for Nature and Beautiful Trees like these Magnolia's or Tulip Trees as we call them.

Did you know they come in other colors beside's pink?
How about a Yellow one...

6.  I'm thankful for having a sense of humor because you need one when you see things like this...

7.  I'm thankful my mom taught me how to cook or rather let me learn to cook by allowing me into the kitchen to try out recipes on my own.  I finally have mastered a flaky pie crust and oh my Apple Pie never tasted better.

8. I'm thankful for music.  This week I started listening to a Bob Seger album (Ride Out) that I have and really haven't listened to all that often.  It has some great songs on it. I wanted to play a song called, Listen from the album but YouTube doesn't have it.  So how about California Stars instead.

 

 



9.  I'm thankful for making it down this road we took up in the hills last week.

Towards the end of the drive down it the road was super "rutty" and I had to really drive slow so as not to drive off into one of the ruts and get stuck.

10.  I'm thankful that I can see things that I would never get to see if it were not for bloggers like Jackie (Junkboat Travels).  Check out this POST, It's pretty awesome.  Thanks Jackie for sharing.

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a very Happy Easter.

Good Fences #114 - Two Doors and a Goat

Hello!

It's time to join Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) for GOOD FENCES.



I happened to be walking down an alley one day when I spotted something (you couldn't miss it) and stopped to take a picture to share for good fences.

Here was this bright orange and red door leaning up against the fence.  The last time I was by the alley the door was still there.  I'm not sure if it's meant to be yard decor or just what but it certainly catches your eye.

So a few days later Coleen and I are on another walk when what do we spot....

This Yellow Door leaning against a fence in another yard.  Makes me think perhaps this is a "trend" to use doors as accents in your yards.

Also spotted this at the same location....

Cute little fellow.  You can still see the yellow door in the background of this shot too.

Hope you've enjoyed the doors, fences & goat.  - Don't forget to stop by Theresa's blog and check out all the other Good Fences.

Have a great day!

Photo Art Friday - August 3, 2012

For Flower Art Friday click on the link.

Hello and Welcome. - It's Friday which means it's time to join me for some awesome Photo Art over on Pixel Dust Photo Art where Bonnie has given us the optional theme of using,
Doors in our art pieces.

It's been a bit of a busy week here so I didn't get out to find some interesting doors to photograph so instead I decided to do a small collage of doors from our own house and see what I could do with them.

Here is my piece,  Click to enlarge.

After I had my collage complete I added a texture to the left door only.  Then added the Daguerreotype  frame, the quote and the Museum Matte frame. 
Just in case you are wondering about the doors in the collage.  The left door is the door to my Stamping/Craft room.  The wall hanging on the door is very special to me as it was a gift from my dad. 

The top right hand door is on the back part of our house where we have a little storage room.  What's funny about that door is that one day the County Assessor was by and asked me if we had a law practice in our home.  I assured him that in spite of what the door says we don't run a law practice out of our home.  I mean come on, you can see that the door actually leads outside into our back yard and if he'd looked inside the room itself he would have noted that there certainly weren't any indications of a law practice going on in that room.  The door just happened to be one my hubby picked up off of some construction job he was working on and since we needed a door to the storage room that's what he used!

The middle door is Coleen's bedroom door.  We just painted her room earlier this year and those are the colors she picked out.  I like that she hung her pink hat on the door knob.

Lastly I had to include the Refrigerator Door, it's probably the most used door in the house!

So that's it for this week.  I hope you've enjoyed this little journey into the doors that make up parts of my world.

Don't forget to join in by viewing the other entries on Bonnie's blog or even giving it a go yourself.  Take care and have a great weekend.
