Little Chairs & Herbs...

 Come into the back porch...

 and see the newest little one...
Found her @an auction...she was well loved and I did like her that way ...but she fits in here better with a New Coat.
the same color we just had our bedroom painted...Mmmmm.

 Do you "Winter" your Herbs too?
We have a three season porch and the heartier Herbs survive well through the cold until spring.

A Gift...

this little pink pot below...

just transplanted the flowers today hoping they'll come back next year.

washed my pretty pot and she now stores onions for the winter in the pantry.

such a great day...

love, Kathy and the Chef.

Commencing with Fall...and a plug for "ART PRIZE"

 Well...I'm back in business...figured out this "blogger"THING...
what ever it was and FALL can now continue to go fourth!!!

Spent 7 hours in Grand Rapids today @ "ART PRIZE".
How inspiring....ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN entries of Art.
There is no way one could devour all there is to see even in three days!
Amazing pieces of work from various medias...I will share more later.
I'm sure if you googled Art Prize...you'd also be amazed!
Anyone out there ever attend Art Prize?

Hugs, Kathy and the Chef.
 

Okay...
HELP...

I was playing with my blog and trying out the NEW format...I hit classic and BAM!!!!
Everything changes...and there is no getting it back.
How do you get your old format back...
all day long my NEW, NEW, NEW computer just freezes up.
It's like I've lost my blog into the great black hole.
Blogging is not supposed to be this crazy!!!

I'm open for suggestions...P L E A S E !!!!

Autumn...and White.

Welcome...Autumn lovers.

It works for us....
xo, Kathy and the Chef.

Welcome...

welcome to all things Crisp and Clear...
Colorful...
Bursting with Promise...

When the heart turns towards nesting...
comfort foods...
and thoughts of Harvest.

Evening strolls through falling leaves while searching for that Harvest Moon...
How can the mind take this season in with all it"s splendor...
and not have faith in a loving GOD?
Such a GIFT.

Welcome Autumn...
xo, Kathy and the Chef.

Another fun week...

Sometimes...
I have to pinch myself...
Pretty cute huh?
Have the best weekend ever,
Kathy and the Chef.

A day in the mountains...Wayah Bald.

A day in the mountains of N. Carolina...
The chef said..."Bring your camera, I want you to see this"...
a glorious day.

Hope yours was just that today!
 

Hello Summer...Good-bye.

 Packing soooo much into a "Summer"...

 Seems to make it "FLY" by even Faster!

 Hope yours was memorable...

and "Happy"
xoxo, Kathy and the Chef.

Sending hugs to my friend Glenda...

Well Thank You girls for the tips!
today I'm using Ribbit.com and it feels like old home week...I knew you had all the answers.

During one of our recent trips to N. Carolina I was drawn in by this amazing log home...the structure itself.
The layers...
and layers...
the various materials...
the thought process in rendering such a work of art.
The constructing upon each layer...
reminds me of Creation, on the first day the Lord...
on the second day...and so on until completion.

I think life is like this Glenda...
Layers...Your in good hands my friend.

 Try and take it one day at a time...

one layer.
You are LOVED...my friend.
Glad to be back,
Love ...
Kathy and the Chef.

Calling all bloggers!!!
Yes, it's me.....Miss "I've been so busy I haven't blogged in months".

Along with my new HUSBAND and lifestyle I've acquired a new COMPUTER ! ( yeah, it was long over due.)
I'm amongst the many who are more then saddened over the death of PICNIK for editing our photos. Before i launch into another program for editing...I as wondering what my blogger friends are doing about that.
I have photoshop ....just haven't applied it yet....or spent the hours learning it...(maybe this winter when we're SNOWED IN....but for NOW, what are you all using????
My enquiring mind wants to know!

Please leave me your TIP of the day concerning this....
Google offers lots of free sites....but I need to know what my Girlfriends are thinking...guys too... if your out there.

Thanks a BUNCH,
Kathy and the Chef.
