Arm Chair Journey

Here is another journey from my Arm Chair,

When the funds are limited ( and they are. ) I amuse myself doing this :

It is a Fall day and I am at my log cabin by the lake, there are tall Pine trees as far as I can see. Birds are chirping to each other, their song seems to say: "Winter is coming we must prepare."
Right now I am standing on my porch looking towards the lake, I see ripples on the water, a gentle breeze is blowing. Under one tree there are several deer , a raccoon and a squirel nosing around to see what else there is to eat. They have already eaten the corn I put out for them earlier this morning.
I go back into the cabin and get a cup of coffee and a hot home made roll. I am going to sit in my rocking chair on the porch and watch the animals while listening to the birds and the leaves being blow by the wind.

Taking a break..

This morning I am off on one of my imaginary trips come along if you like. Today I am heading for a private island where it is warm ( not hot or humid) The breeze is blowing softly and the smell of Spring flowers is in the air. Right now I am standing on the white sandy beach, there is not a cloud in sight. Best of all there are no people on the beach because it is very early.
I brought my breakfast with me and a quilt to sit on while I eat. I have a thermos of hot coffee a bagel and cream cheese and fresh fruit, strawberries, black berries, and pineapple. What could be better ??

After I eat and walk up and down the beach in search of shells ( yes, there shells on my beach today.) I will go for a swim.

I see a clump of large trees up head if I am lucky I might see exotic birds or other wild life.

Now it is getting late and time for dinner so, I head to a small cafe I saw on my walk this afternoon. I will have fresh fish, rice and fresh veggies and maybe some more fruit.

It is getting dark now so I start back home. I like to sleep in my own bed ! Did you enjoy the trip ??

Moving

I got up this morning and it was raining and the wind was blowing, so it is not a day for outdoors ! I have been wanting to move my scrapbooking junk into the kitchen where I have more windows and the lighting is better--- this is what I started doing early and I have made at least 30 trips back and forth from my craft room to the kitchen. I have not made a dent in this project. At the rate I am going it will take me two weeks to get it done.

I also want to buy a Cricut Expression to help in my scrapbooking . So I went to Hallmark Scrapbook.com to purchase the machine and their check out is not working !!!

Maybe I should have stayed in bed this morning because all I have done is make more of a mess than I had to begin with in my kitchen and craft room.

So I am just going to drink some coffee and sit down and think about my scrapbooking and then make a card.
Happy days to all of you. Leslie

My heart is heavy !

What is happening in Australia is so sad and sinceless, according to my computer news some of not all of those fires are set by some monsters. ( people )
The loss of life is now a mass murder. Are people just bored or so mean that they could do this ?

I have some wonderful blogger friends in Australia and so do many of you and we are helpless to do anything about this carnage.

Join me in prayer for all of Australia, together we can do this one act of goodness.
I close with heavy heart. God Bless Australia.
Hugs to all my blogger friends. ~~~Leslie
