Vintage Bowls & Around the Farm

I was reading a favorite blog the other day and saw some neat vintage bowls that Koralee at Bluebird Notes blog had been collecting.  She started with a small turquoise Pyrex bowl.  I have one oval "Oven Serve Ware" bowl - it's small, I think it's for making baked custards.  I have several smaller round ones too.  They come in gold, turquoise, pink, ivy green, brown  and pumpkin.  My favorite is the turquoise.  I did a search for them when I left her comment and found 2 listed on Etsy.. a turq and gold one.  So, I bought them.  Now I have 2 blue ones!  At dinners I often put butter in them.  Don't you just love the embossed flower designs?

Today our youngest son Travis came out with his youngest son - he went up on the roof to blow off the pine needles that fall off the large Douglas Fir & Cedar trees in our woods.  He wanted to make sure his Dad didn't go up there!  Wasn't that sweet?

 Caleb came in to visit "gamma" and Grandpa gave him a sucker.  Then Grandpa went out to watch our son.  He finished the first one off and then went to see if there were more where G got that one.. and he found a 2nd one.  Then a 3rd.  And a 4th.  Grandpa is now out of suckers.  :-)  Grandpa should have never let him see where he kept them.  In his key basket by the back door.  The gig is up.  

I adore this child.  He's our youngest and will be forever the baby.  No more children will be coming.   

Nummmm nummmm.....  

I went out to enjoy the sunshine with the guys and caught the sun shining through the red leaves of the Japanese Maple.. they will turn brighter in a day or two. 

I liked seeing the red of the maple reflected in the pond. 

The Birch tree above the pond is yellow...  

This is a *huge* Pin Oak that is at the side of our house.. it turns a brilliant red, and it's half turned now.  It's usually all red by Thanksgiving. 

I saw this moss of the downed maple tree in the driveway and snapped this photo. 

A strawberry leaf is all red. 

The Hydrangea leaves are turning purple and yellow.  The weatherman is predicting nice weather this week.  I can go for that! I hope it's nice where you are and .. thanks for visiting!    ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
