Autumn is nearly ended and it's been a beautiful one. Few storms, less rain than usual, and plenty of sunshine. The bog nearby is home to ducks, geese, deer and other wild creatures. I took Little Miss S there this past week. Someone gave her a handful of bird seed and the ducks surrounded her in their eagerness to get it. She didn't quite know what to make of the quacking commotion.
Recent photos of the Little Misses having fun at Nana's house. These two occupy huge real estate in my heart, more than I could ever imagine.
Little Miss A spent the night, so this morning, at breakfast, I lit the German pyramid. She was enchanted with the deer going round and round. And so December begins, with rain, dark skies, and the lovely glow of candlelight.

Your granddaughters are so adorable, Lorrie. I know how you feel, as my three grandchildren fill up my heart with joy more than anything else!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have little ones nearby? Your granddaughters are lovely - and your joy comes through! I walked around that bog on Thursday and loved walking among the ducks - so much waddling and quacking. It was good for my soul.
ReplyDeleteI dare say little grandchildren are fun and much easier than one's children? I wonder if I will ever know what it's like to be a Grandmother - I've always been a late developer in all the stages of life! Love your mosaics.
ReplyDeleteOh Lorrie, those children are adorable...makes you smile, smile, smile happy. I love being a Nana! As for the other images, very pretty and I think that apple has my name on it ;). Have a great week~
ReplyDeleteWhat precious little cuties they are! Hope those ducks didn't scare Miss S too much. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour Little Miss is just adorable. Pretty nature scene and the ducks are cute! Wonderful photos and mosaic! Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeletehow lucky you are to have such dear Little Misses in your life and how blessed they are to have you!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love your bog pictures (you have such a gift with nature photography!), I think that the little misses steal the photo show! What darling girls they are!
ReplyDeleteIt must be fun to see the wonder of life through these little ones' eyes.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how sweet it is to spend time with your little grands! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteI know whereof you speak...that the grands have a way of grabbing ones heart!
ReplyDeleteI know what Joy grandchildren bring. They are such a gift....looks like you had a fabulous day!

Your granddaughters are sweet Lorrie, and at that age when Christmas is so magical.
ReplyDeletePrecious little ones, Lorrie! Love the photo of the apple in the tree. Is your German pyramid similar to the angels the go around from the heat of the candles. I wish I could find one of them again as mine is worn out. (the brass angel ones) I did find a similar idea that uses a tea light and sent it to our daughter for our grandsons to enjoy the tradition.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there to see Miss S feed the ducks.
ReplyDeleteI have looked at your forecasts with smile, glad to hear that the nasties of November were not apparent this year.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about the header on my blog...today it now looks like that, snowy, and deep. But the photo was from last winter.

What sweet little ones you have in your life.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren do take a huge amount of space in the heart.
I had no idea until 14 months ago. Thanks for the blog
link, I hadn't visited there before, but enjoyed it.
Beautiful photos Lorrie! I LOVE wetlands, waterfowl, grandkids and sunny skies!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Aimee
Oh, they're so sweet -- and obviously just full of personality!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaics Lorrie - oh those darling little faces!
ReplyDeleteVery special times for you.
Shane
I wish I had some of those darling faces to enjoy the christmas season with.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
ReplyDeleteThe little Misses are absolutely adorable and I believe, they both bear a resemblance to their Nana, with those beautiful, big blue eyes!
What a pretty bog you have near that beautiful landscape you live in, ducks and all!!
Have a lovely first week of December!
Poppy
how precious our grandchildren are. and your little Misses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a fun Nana you are, Lorrie! Happy December!
ReplyDeleteQuacking commotion, LOL... They are both precious. Such a wonderful age for enjoying life!
ReplyDeleteYour grandgirls are just delightful, Lorrie! I know you adore having them visit. Savor each minute, as the time goes by far too quickly & they'll soon be teenagers. I blinked & my first grandson is now going off to college next year. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteDid you ever imagine having grandchildren would be so amazing? Your little ones are adorable! Fun times!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the pyramid I though 'German'. We have had nativity in the past looking similar and we bought it in Germany.
