THIS & THAT

Sugar Maple in my Backyard   

Old Wagon Wheel in Tree beside Yard Swing

CHEESE ISLAND??  Why Cheese Island??  This particular spot close to the Barn is where the 2 oldest Grandsons do all their pretend play!  They named it Cheese Island (don't ask me why...have no idea) 4 yrs ago and the name stuck!  Sometimes I can be doing yard work and eavesdrop on their conversations.  Sometimes Cheese Island is a fort, castle, or bunker.  More often than not, Cheese Island is simply a Hide-Out.  If I'm missing garden tools, pots, etc..I know where to go look.  It looks rather tacky from a landscaping perspective and you can see it from my driveway but from the eye of a 10, 7, 6, 3 & 2 yr. old, Cheese Island is nothing short of Paradise!  Visitors will just have to overlook it's outer appearance and see it for the wonderful world of imagination that it is!

  1. Cheese Island! That's so cute! It's wonderful when kids just have an opportunity to play and use their imaginations! I just love that old wagon wheel and the Sugar Maple is already looking so beautiful.

  2. Hi Jane,

    This is Teresa, the recent poster on Stash Manicure who made everyone (from many countries...)feel better about their own fabric hoarding this weekend...

    I have mild OCD - obsessive compulsive disorder. There are times that it is a real disadvantage...I don't function well in chaos. I always say that I am good in a crisis, but I don't want to live like that. I do like things orderly, and it is a bit of a balancing act trying to keep all areas of my life in order, but that is the nature of my disorder. I have a chemistry degree and I'm a firm believer in the the laws of thermodynamics...especially the one about everything in the universe tending toward entropy, or chaos.

    That said, I guess I was born to battle chaos. I like organizing. Give me a junk drawer to sort out and I'm a happy camper! I think it would be fun to do it for a living! I'm thinking of doing a weekly organizing post on my quilting blog, www.fabrictherapy.blogspot.com/.

    I see you are from Alabama...I grew up, went to school and graduated from college in Alabama. Most of my family still lives there, sprinkled from the southeast near Auburn to the Northwest near Tuscumbia, and many spots in betweeen,

    Happy stitching!
    Teresa :o)

  3. Thanks for visiting my blog and your comments on the Halloween issue. As often happens between fellow believers in Christ, this is something we'll have to agree to disagree on while focusing on the common ground we can share.

    Have a blessed week!
