David had to go up to the VA hospital in Indianapolis last week to have his ears checked.\u00a0 They said he was good to go, so we went.\u00a0 Antiquing, that\u00a0 is.\u00a0 We took back roads to Noblesville where there are some really nice antique malls.\u00a0 We didn’t have a lot of time, but what time we had was fruitful.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t looking for a pitcher, but this one practically jumped in my hands and said, “Please take me home.”\u00a0 So I did.\u00a0 It was a good price and I can see flowers displayed in it on Easter.<\/p>\n

Another vintage tablecloth was found.\u00a0 I am pretty particular the tablecloths I bring home now because I have been collecting them\u00a0for years, but this one was so vibrant and in very good condition. It doesn’t, however, fit our big, square dining table so I will have to put another tablecloth under it that fits and put it on top.\u00a0 I like it though. I use my tablecloths.\u00a0 I don’t just store them away never to see the light of day.\u00a0 There’s something homey about a tablecloth on a table as if something special is going to happen.\u00a0 Mother always had an oilcloth tablecloth on the kitchen table at home and when we had company, she got out her good tablecloths.\u00a0 It always made the meals more special.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5643\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love the colors.<\/p>\n

David is good at scoping out things I like.\u00a0 He came up to me and asked if I had seen the fabric and I hadn’t.\u00a0 Found these pretty pieces that will be going into a quilt. In fact, I have already cut into them.\u00a0 With good fabric going for eight to ten dollars a yard anymore, it’s nice to find a yard or two for two or three dollars.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5644\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Found this book on a half price table and since I love vintage children’s books, I decided to get it.\u00a0 After I got it home I was reading it and found that it had some quirky renditions of old fairytales and nursery rhymes.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5648\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Such as When The Old Woman Moved From the Shoe.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5652\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or The Search For Bo-Peep’s Sheep.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5655\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Little Bo Peep.\u00a0 Hey, wouldn’t that be a good name for a chicken?\u00a0 Just thought of that.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love the graphics in old children’s books.\u00a0 This book was published in 1937.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5630\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel like with the cold weather and being so busy, I have neglected the furry pets in our family. This is what meets me every time I go out the door.\u00a0 Belle with her rope, wanting to play.\u00a0 She can just about pull my arm out of the socket when she tugs it.\u00a0 Strong little critter.\u00a0 Most labs don’t have such a strong mouth.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5628\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there’s Bonnie who is ignoring me because I spend way too much time with the chickens and not enough with her.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5627\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This use to be Delilah, but David and I both think she looks like an eagle, so her name from now on will be Freedom.\u00a0 I cannot get a really good picture of her because she is always moving, but she really does look like an eagle.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5624\"<\/a><\/p>\n

White head and all.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5615\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This chick is learning to perch and I found her here yesterday.\u00a0 ‘I’m king of the hill!”<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5608\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN5606\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are a couple of things I baked this week.\u00a0 Apple crunch and blackberry crunch. Sorry, but they have both been eaten.\u00a0 David and I are pigs, I’m afraid, when it comes to sweet stuff.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5585\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, hope you have better things to do\u00a0than to sit around staring at chickens.\u00a0 Have a great day.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n
