A friend asked if had painted any tulips. Since I haven’t, I wanted to try one. It is fall here right now, so I looked up tulips and found out you can have tulips in autumn. They have to be started in the southern hemisphere, then the bulbs are shipped here and treated specially so they will bloom in autumn. Pretty neat!
The organ has these two little statues on it, placed there by my mom at some point. When I got the organ, they had to go with it.
This is the book my great grandmother, Emma, used when she took organ lessons in 1905, the year before she got married. It is sitting on her organ and it is amazing to me that they have stayed together all these years.
My sister’s granddaughter picked some flowers, and then they put them into a kettle and snapped a photo. The flowers are just field flowers, but they are special because of who gave them.
This is the time of year I get to put my nativity sets on display. Many are out because I think they are cute or whatever. These three are special, though.
