Why I like Celtic music

Most of you know I really like celtic music. I love it because it can be lively and up beat and make you want to dance or it can be slow and soothing like a ballad and make you want to cry. It can also be dramatic and make you feel proud to be scottish, irish or whatever branch of celtic you are. (I am guessing since I only have celtic ancestry,) This is probaly one of my favorite celtic songs and I love this particular version of it.

For those of you who don't know; Caledonia is the ancient name for Scotland and is still the name used by poets.

And this little piggie went "wee wee wee" all the way home

Today when we were driving home we saw all these pink things on our lawn. We were very confused and were all trying to guess who put them there. It turns out our lawn was covered with littlle pigs made from milk cartons lovingly placed there by some of our neighbors for a fund raiser type thing. They were all decorated differently and were very cute and creative. I had a very hard time deciding which one was my favorite to take a picture of.

Pine Needles and Frost

Actually there is no frost on the needles (being that the picture was taken in June) but because of the blue color I shot the picture in it looks a little like there is frost on the pine needles.

Smokey Billows


There was a fire kinda near us last week. 300 homes were evacuated. Thankfully no one was injured. The fire never got very near us but we could see and smell the smoke and we got ash rained on us.

Barbed Protection

This picture reminds me of a prarie somewhere in the mid west in the summer. I am not sure why.

Sewing Essentials

We have been doing A LOT of sewing around here. In the past week 5 vests, 2 pairs of pants, a cravat and a purse have been made and two shirts were altered. At one point we had four sewing machines here (that was in a desperate attempt to find a button hole maker that worked. As I am writing this mom is sitting across from me sewing on buttons (there are about 68 that need to be sewed so that is what us girls have been doing in our spare time.) All this to say that I thought this picture would encapsulate our week :):)
