Do they have a jar of jelly beans in there for us?

How about Mexican food? With lots of chips and guacamole and salsa. MMmmmm.

Beautiful photo!!!

That is a nice old car. I'm guessing a 1936 but I can't figure out the maker.
Happy WW!

Neat photo. I love the pink of the trees and the bright green grass. The picture has an antique feel even though it isn't. Cool.

Shiny. But I have to admit, I'm distracted by the pretty blooming trees--crepe myrtles?

The pink trees set off the car beautifully. I feel like I'm in the 1920's heading off to a speak easy!

Cool car and photo! Is this YOURS??? I've shared a collage of flowers from my yard at Small Reflections and a 'deserted' stretch of beach with a Haiku (for a combined WW/OSI post) at Sacred Ruminations today.
Hugs and blessings,

that is so sleek and classy looking --I do love to admire old cars but not to ride in them because they smell and thereby I smell like exhaust fumes after the fun:(:)

Hi Pamela, I'm going to up Jim's guess by a couple of years and say its a 1938 Pontiac Silver Streak Limo.
BTW you were lucky to miss the spammer at holtieshouse, it took about a minute to scroll past it, I had a similar one a while ago which ran to 27 pages when I copied it.

Very cool photo! I love cars from that era with their nice, smooth curves. Something's lacking in that copycat car they tried to make a few years ago. (Is it a Plymouth something?)

The nice thing about spring and summer is seeing the antique cars and those pink trees. I can't wait until my tree blooms.

Ice Can Look Nice

Image
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill,  a warm Chinook wind blew in.  It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that  Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling.  At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other.  Feed the birds ****

Fun Monday - Childhood Memories

Image
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...
