Yesterday I finally couldn't take it any longer and lit a fire in the upstairs fireplace. It really wasn't
that cold outside, I think it was 50, but it was raining and we were expecting a wind storm. Okay and I had a new Christmas magazine =) and a big mug of chai tea!
A few years ago my Mom-in-law and Dad-in-law sent us these pine cones for the fireplace that are coated with something that makes the fire all different shades of blues, greens and purples. I absolutely love to use them, both inside and outside when we use our fire pit.
This is my new favorite salad... baby greens, roasted chicken breast (cubed), almonds, sliced apples, Gorgonzola cheese, topped with olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Yummy good, sometimes I stuff it into a pita too!
We had quite the wind storm last night!
I really thought with all the noisy branches hitting the house, roof and windows that there would be more downed branches.
The nice thing is that all these branches will get used in my Christmas decorating =)
While I was out photographing all the branches and piling them up, I noticed even more mushrooms.
These are so tiny and cute.
See?
Of course, I still love these ones. I know my friend Jessica has these growing in her yard too.
The front one almost looks like a button mushroom.
Kind of a boring post I know. I just haven't been feeling very creative so far this week. I've kind of had a tummy bug for a couple days. So I have just been hanging out reading Christmas magazines, a book about composting (I plan are starting in the spring) and studying up on chickens.

We have decided our house will be going up for sale January 15, 2011! So be prepared for some final home improvement posts, and a few days of silence while I am busy packing up things in boxes ;)
Have a pleasant day,
