Rainy day

So it's rainy and disgusting outside, so here are some pretty pictures I took when I was in Naples, FL this March.

A moment captured -- what an awesome photo.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I  love Christmas. This is our Christmas tree this year...

It's our tallest tree yet!

With gold disco ball ornaments,

glass ball ornaments, red velvet ribbons and gold silk ribbons,

clear Christmas lights, and white flowers.

 These are glass ornaments are cool, they look like bubbles.

On this Christmas afternoon, we did some baking and I experimented with making Whole Wheat Oatmeal Applesauce Raisin Craisin Muffins.

 

Some are 'plain' and some have peanut butter or raspberry preserves centers.

labeled by color, duh

To be honest, I'm not very good at baking, but I try and I'm learning.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
