Happy New Year 2013

And so another year begins for us ! We managed to survive another End of the World event aka Mayan Calendar ending so now to plan for another year of adventure and fun. 
Honeybunny and I were home alone for New Years Eve and I did the opening of the doors at midnight and listening to the neighborhood bring in the New Year with their loud gunshots and firecrackers. This year it seemed a lot longer than usual. For myself, I prefer to either hear bells ringing or those old tugboat horns that I used to hear when I lived near the rivah.
I took the honeybunnies to see all the pretty decorated trees down at the PAAL art museum. I have to say they were very pretty and really artsy. The kids and I enjoyed them very much. Then we went over to the local Heritage Museum to see toys from over 100 years ago. Perrin really wasnt into the toys so much as he really wanted to see if they had shark teeth there like I promised him. But he walked around looking at the toys first and while we were there , one of the news reporters came in to do a story on the toys. She asked to take pics of the kids and then interviewed each one about what they liked . I picked up the paper yesterday for their scrapbooks.
We had a pilated woodpecker here yesterday although he hangs around all the time, but mostly he is too far away for a picture. I managed to capture this one while he was laughing in the pear tree next door. Gotta love that red head he has !
One of my projects this year is to make this peacock bottle tree. I would love to find a few other colors of wine bottles to make a rainbow color one too. Wonder if I can get Mel to drink another brand of wine lol
Not sure what this year has in store for us but am hoping we all stay well this year. Anything else we will make it thru it I guess. 


Heading out to make my bucket list and at the top this year is this river Stonehedge I will be looking for near by in Richmond. Wish me luck :)
