{Rocky, be nice!}

We were trying to take pictures of Sheba alone where she might be relax.
Rocky tend to get in way to check what we were doing.

Rocky was checking Sheba's head and licked a few. Then Rocky show want her to lick on his head. Sheba simple smell him and forget it and walk away.

We often to say "Rocky, be nice" or in other ways because know he wants to mess with her to bite and pull her fur for no reason. Sometime Rocky listen or not.

I did one challenge with Kimberly's Luck Cloves Layout (what make you happy with four pictures.) I did Kim's challenge with extra pictures I had.. No pix of my starbucks drink.. Mo said why not use the drink thingy and it worked. ha ha I added from my stash.. Thicker "happy" and "me" cork ready letters found at Hobby Lobby. Stripe I used dymo label to punch out on my own and inked. Stitched the word "color" Layout Sketch #83 by Tamara Supplies from 2SD ~April Shower 2008 mid-month mini kit~ I believe I finally used up scraps! Plus ribbon all used up.

it was fun challenge to use with extra pictures.

Thank you for looking!

{The window with the cracked glass}

{Interesting from old day what they used to have this window. No idea what year it was from}

A old window with the cracked glass. Just perfect view with the bird.

Can feel the Spring is here....

{What is it?}

(Copy and pasted the info)

This is a Vintage Cast Iron Style A "Vitantonio Mfg. Co." Cleveland, Ohio USA Pasta Maker machine that comes with four different rollers. The maker is in fine working condition

It stands approx. 7 1/2" tall by 8" wide and 5 1/2" deep. All of the parts seem to be there, including the wing nut screw hold-down clamp.

Additional information on the maker states there are two patent dates.: Feb.13, 1904 and March 2,1920.

**As well we are missing with 3 different rollers and the handle parts.

Some day in our kitchen will be perfect place to leave this piece for show. Mo found it at a demo home where he was doing the job. Found out that couple houses will be taken down to build more parking lot by the school.

{Antique window}

Another antique window that Mo found with part of glass is cracked. Cool part what you can see in this picture and it is at middle bottom of the window.

**With my sister's question~ Hard to tell if can replace the glass part.
I am plan on take full picture of the frame and it is heavy size to lift. Big maybe to work on remove old paint and see what is under surface. Nothing certain plans for now. It is sitting against the wall by side table in family room for now. (seems look good there)

{Friday!}

Mo found this Antique Kitchen tool ~Early 1900~

Have a great weekend!!

{Flurries}

Flurries~ Please go away!
Bring on the Spring!

{Rocky's friend}

It have no name.. No idea boy or girl. So we called it's name It. (Mo took pictures)
Note~Mo just mentioned wrong one. I believe it was same one.

That is Rocky's friend.. Of course it live outdoor in wildlife. Ha. We have been keep eye on it. Long weeks ago it had face to chest hairless. We were wondering what may have happen to it. Could be someone saved it or itself on own heal so well. Can see hairline in back of it.

(Yes, we took pictures of it when first found it was hairless that time, didn't try post any at that time)

{Rain drops}

(click to see pix better)

Another rain day and can see some rain drops.

Now I have a good excuse that I need different lens! ;-P
