Nap time

I took this shot of Lady on Saturday before I left for work. I had to take it through the glass in the back door to keep from waking her up. I was supposed to have Monday off, but they ask me to work anyway. It wasn't too bad. We got the order...

A beautiful Saturday in the country

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:43:21 -0800

While I was outside with the dogs yesterday, that were poking around at something in the yard, so I went over to see what it was. This furry little creature looks like he is sunbathing, but I think he was dead. My hubby found two more dead anim...

Another lovely fall day

Today was a wonderful, perfect fall day. Warm and sunny. And I didn't have to go to work until this afternoon. So this morning I was able to do some cooking and some sewing and after lunch, I grabbed my camera to go out and see what I could fi...

Another blog on Thursday

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:21:56 -0800

I have really missed posting my meager thoughts and activities (such as they are) on my blog. I have also missed going out with my camera. So I'm doing both today, and making you sit though it! LOL This is the table that is out on my screened...

Another cake

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:39:24 -0800

I worked by myself on Monday and Tuesday of this week, but didn't have time to be very creative. I did do this cake, which I was rather proud of. I'm finally digging out from under the pile of paperwork that has accumulated on my desk. I stil...

I'm still kicking!

Wow! Sorry it has been so long since I was home long enough to post anything. It has been crazy around here. Here is a photo of us (on the right) with my hubby's family that joined us for our 40th anniversary celebration on October 25th. Two ...

Another rainy day in the country

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:21:09 -0700

Just a note in case anyone was wondering what had happened to me. We had a wonderful time on Sunday celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our family. I went to work on Monday, then this morning I had to take my hubby to the city. He is ...

It's fall!

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:55:44 -0700

This is the only fall color I have in my yard. This bush is about 30 years old, but we give it "haircuts" every year or two to keep it from growing too big. Off to the west of our house, there is a creek with bluffs that get some color in th...

A day off, finally!

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:01:11 -0700

I can't remember the last time I had a day off when I didn't have to do anything or go anywhere. It was really nice. I slept in and took a nap. I washed clothes and spent several hours cooking. My hubby was in the hospital this week because h...

Cakes, cakes, and more cakes

nobody@vox.com(Country By Design) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:23:59 -0700

I worked by myself today, and only had two orders, so I got to play the rest of the day. I made a few more cupcakes, and a case of cookies, then I finished decorating a rack of cakes that were already iced. I decided to do some experimenting wi...
