Snow on the mountain

 We woke up to snow this morning.  This is the view from my front door.

My sweet husband made these photographs for me.  I didn't even have to get out in the snow.

Our house in the snow.

 

The lane headed down to the United Methodist Assembly.

 

 

A wooded area near the overlook.  You can see the valley below through the trees.

 

The overlook at the Assembly.  See the mountains in the distance?

The view from the overlook.

 

The front of the Assembly to the right and the stone overlook to the left.

Beersheba Springs is truly a wonderful place.  I am truly blessed by God to live here.  

You know what they say,

"There's  no place like home."

I hope to see you soon.

We are currently open Thur-Sat. until warmer weather.

Fine feathered friends

Just a little peak at a recent display, including our sweet resin cardinals and our "If wishes were dishes collection."

 What do you do with too many Christmas trees?  Turn of the lights and a make a winter wonderland for the birds!

 

I have several of these wonderful tiered servers and a fantastic selection of cardinals in two sizes.  

They would make a sweet Valentine's gift for a bird lover, don't you think?  

I have been working on lots of spring displays.  Here's a little preview.

It will be here before you know it!

Hope to see you soon!

P.S.  If you are going to need candles before Christmas, You might want to come in soon.  The Cheerful Giver Candle Company is located on a river in beautiful Elmer New Jersey.  As you know, Hurricane Sandy has made land fall in that area.  I obviously, for very selfish reasons, hope the company comes through unscathed.  If it does not, the shipping may be slow or not all.

Though you might want to know!!

Crafts Fair Time and a Computer that won't talk to me

Well it is once again time for the annual Beersheba Springs Arts and Crafts Fair!

The crafts fair is in it's 46th year and going strong.

I have been busy cleaning, cooking and painting.

I know I promised you a preview, but my new computer won't talk to me.  Our old one threw up the blue screen of death right after I printed out my invitation cards that you may have gotten in the mail.  Our son has built us a new computer that is bigger and faster,  but it doesn't yet have the programs installed that I need to upload pictures. 

I am not a computer genius and everything I know about computers I learned from one of my three children.  I am afraid I am clueless about this!!  I can usually figure things out, given long enough, but unfortunately, I don't have a day or two to figure it out.  

The menu for
Saturday, August 25th is as follows

Mountain Top Chicken Salad on a Croissant or Mountain Top Barbecue Pork on a bun

Chips

Dill Pickle Spear

Watermelon Slices

Drink

(Choice of Fruit Tea, Sweet or Unsweetened Tea, Lemonade or Water)

Dessert

(Choice of Coconut Cake, Strawberry Coconut Cake, Strawberry Cake,

German Chocolate Cake, Buttermilk Pound Cake, Chocolate Ganache Cake,

Pecan Pie or Chess Pie)

The price is still a wonderful bargain at only $10.00!!!!!

There will be seating on the two front porches as well as seating in the garden area under the front trees.

We are hoping for a wonderful day.

Make plans to come see us.

I have a fresh batch of Keeper's of the Light Candles on the way,
Feathered Nest Soaps, new fall items from the Country House Collection and from Primitives by Kathy.   I have a fresh shipment of that wonderful Raven's Nest Raspberry Jalapeno Jam.  Sweet sunflower wreaths., Pumpkin head Men, Crow and Picket fence candle holders, huge red lanterns from Country House, lots of painted slates, cardinal ornaments, I could go on and on, but I best not.
 All my spare time between now and next Thursday will be devoted to painting, painting, and more painting.  The good Lord willing, I will have some spare time, as I have  spent so much time preparing in advance. 

I am so sorry I am unable to publish pictures.  Please just come and see for your self!!

Hope to see you soon!
