And, What happened to that Chinese cabbage……

Well friends I thought you might like to see what happened to that beautiful Chinese cabbage that I posted on Wordless Wednesday. After stripping all the huge outer leaves it looked exactly like the Napa cabbage you get in the grocery store! Hurray. Needless to say this was our first attempt at growing these beauties. She got chopped, rinsed and drained, and then this is what I did……

She became Stir-fried chinese cabbage with garlic and ginger, and some nice jumbo shrimp thrown in for color and taste. This turned out to be a very yummy dinner I must say.

Macro Monday

It’s hard to believe that November is really here already! October is behind us and Chuck has mended well from his surgery, so it’s time to get serious about our show season. We missed a couple really big shows in October as Chuck was unable to do any lifting. I thought you all might like to see what he does. One of his favorites is making peppermills, and he likes to get artsy with them and do segmented pieces. I’ve also included a beautiful hollow form made of Flame Box Elder. Enjoy.

Sunday Stills – Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone. I really thought a Halloween challenge would be fun, but by golly it was a bit more of a challenge than I wanted! Living out in the country on a rural road doesn’t allow for a nice variety of Trick or Treaters like we had back in Houston. There we always ran out of candy early there were so many kids in costume. I kinda miss that evening of fun. I put my big ceramic pumpkin (that I made years ago) on the porch for our decoration. I did manage to compile a few pictures for our Sunday Stills challenge. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone elses shots, especially those who got to party. :)



And finally we spent the evening watching the Tennessee Volunteers play football in their Halloween colors. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful week, and don’t go into sugar shock from all that leftover Halloween candy!

Sunday Stills Challenge – Fall Foliage

Another fun week of looking for just the right shots for todays challenge. We enjoyed a couple of nice drives this past week on our winding country roads and one up on the Cherohala Skyway. We went all the way to the top where the leaves were already gone. Our favorite spot for color is Spirit Ridge, just over 5,000 ft., but the leaves were already gone after two hard frosts. So we came back down closer to home. I hope you enjoy these as much as we are the “real” thing.







I could just go on and on with the Fall foliage pics, but I know you want to visit the other sites as well. So, until next Sunday…..

Macro Monday

Brrrr! It’s more chilly than normal here this morning. It’s actually 32 degrees which we don’t normally see until mid-November. Could this be signs of things to come?
Throw another log in the fireplace (wish we had one).
