I should really be in bed.....

It is 12:33 am!!  Sometimes I can be a really night owl and I get busy editing pictures, just for fun!  Here is what I came up with using Picmonkey and a tree!!

Here is the original picture

Some collage making

And who knew you could make it look like the tree was painted onto a brick wall....

Kinda cool,,,or maybe it is just late!!

Good night everyone and have a great week end!!

A trip to Verona and Friday Fences

Contributing to the Friday Fences blog hop today and taking you to Verona!  This picture was from the trip I took with the school a number of years back already!  Wow, where does the time fly.  Sure would like to go back to Italy and see more of that country.  Between our family we have been blessed to make a few trips to Europe......Darrell's been twice, Kaleb has been once, Ben has been twice and I have been once.....Darrell and I have not travelled together though!!  So I think that should be on the to do list!!

Enjoy your week end everyone and to all my US blogger friends have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Friday Fences - Buckets in a row

Just a quick post for Friday Fences today.  This is from my friends flower bed area.  Lots of wild flowers and wonderful aged boards make up this rustic fence.  Perfect for hanging some ole buckets on!

Have a great week end, and be sure to stop by Friday Fences !

Prairie fences make the best backdrops...

It is Friday Fences over at Jan and Jer's  so hope you will pop over there to see what people are postin to the party!  Prairie fences make the best back drops for pictures!!  Alone, or with people in front of them....

Found another fun looking blog hop at Farmgirl Friday , lots of fun country girl things happening over there, so check it out!

I have had a few friends request that I take some photos of them this past year.  One is a beautiful graduate and her bff.....

And the other is my beautiful neighbor and her friend who had to submit some pictures for their application to the  "Amazing Race Canada."  Unfortunately, they didn't make it on to the show, but it was fun taking pictures for them!

Of course, a country fence is the purrrfect place for our black barn cat!
Had some fun in Picmonkey...the pumpkins are an add on, and I texturized the pic to give
the picture an autumn like feel.

Have a great week end everyone!

Vintage Market in Somers MN and Friday Fences

This past week end, Darrell and I went to Somers Montana.  There was a Vintage White sale taking place which we were curious to see, and my cousin from Alberta has a cabin closeby Somers as well.  So, we thought we could do two things at once!!  It was a beautiful week end, the Flathead Valley is very much like some parts of BC.

This is also my Friday Fences post.  Please stop over and see what other interesting fences you will find.  This was the entrance to the Vintage Sale,,,I did some editing in Picmonkey and this is what I decided to save.  I love chippy old fences ...

There was lots of painted furniture, vintage white, red, aqua blue, were some of the popular colors. Have you noticed how anything built with wood pallets is the big thing out in Blogland right now!  

I liked this simple sign...

There were lots of people out and about looking for the perfect find!

Vintage looking display for these yummy baked goods!

Now, what I really wanted to take home was that yellow house up at the top of the picture!  Apparently it is for sale, along with a carriage house and a garage...what fun would that be for a BnB!! It is sitting empty, and the last person to purchase it was going to do a bunch of work on it.  Unfortunately, the roof project didn't progress far, it is without shingles, and my heart hurts to think it will be in such disrepair if someone doesn't rescue it!!

So, our first vintage market was a success!  

Fun day out and about, and we did find 3 small treasures that I will share with you later.

Summer is winding down, we just had the most amazing lightning show here and now it is raining. A nice break from the hot days we have had here in Southern Alberta.

Have a great week end everyone and take care!

Friday Fences and Carrying on the Peaceful Prairie theme

This is a long forgotten playground just a few miles from the farm we used to live at.  Some old, forgotten play ground equipment, and an old section of fence.  Swings blowing in the wind instead of the sound of children playing are the sounds you will hear at this peaceful prairie playground.

Life was simple, you went outside to play, without the thought of checking your facebook page or sending a text.  I kinda miss those days .....

Hope you enjoy the prairie playground  :)

I am sure many kids at fun blowing these puffy seeds around

My favorite shot of a sunflower, the color turned out so pretty!

I love sunflowers, and they are a reminder that fall weather is around the corner...

Posting to the Friday Fences  over at Jan and Jerry's

Have a great week end everyone!

Thanks for stopping by the country.

Prairie fences in springtime

Just a quick post over to Friday Fences, hope you will stop over and see what others have posted.

This was taken just outside of Hanna, I would pass this little pond of water everytime I would go into town.  Some years it would be full and the water birds would be loving it and other years, it could be very dry!   That is life on the prairies though, different seasons and different growing conditions.  Ones we can't change if we tried!  I am thankful that when we go through different seasons in life that I have a God who is always with me.

Have a great week end everyone!!

Barn Charm in the Valley

I am usually not a huge fan of white barns, but came across this one restored in all its glory.  This barn is part of the Echo Dale Farm that is just down the road from us.  A great park area with lots of green grass, swimming hole, park, and museum area.  I had some fun editing in Picmonkey and hope you like what I came up with.  You can also see another barn on the hillside just up a ways from this barn in the previous Barn Charm post.

Check out all the other Barn Charm lovers and enjoy the country today!!  Trying a new linky party this week  Friday Fences.  There just seems to be a party for everything out there in blogland, even fences!  But I do find them interesting as well!
