From today's outing (1 of 4) ...

Not the best photo (thank you, stormy weather), but these are some vintage Christmas ornaments that my mom brought by for me.  They will go great with my silver tinsel trees. 

My mom found these candy cigs at some store and bought the last three packs.  I didn't know that they still existed!

X wouldn't smoke eat them.  Theother23 and I enjoyed their nostalgic goodness ... because they really don't taste so well without the nostalgia.

ADDENDUM:  You can purchase the candy cigarettes HERE. 

Some days ... the bed just doesn't quite get made.

This time last year (via Photojojo's Time Capsule) ...

Rhubarb, hello.

Most of the snow has melted ... except where there were large banks.  This is a garden bed on the north side of the house.  It is so nice to see the mossy green ... and still some winter snow.
