Wishin'

With such a rainy few days that dropped 5 inches, no yard work could be accomplished so we took a little road trip for more supplies, which I will show you in another entry.  What DID  happen however, was that my wish list has expanded.
 We have been busy trying to get as much ' inside ' work done as we can before and ' if ' the ground ever dried enough for planting.
Meanwhile, we keep at it.  The bathroom/closet/laundry porcelain floors are finally done...I'm loving that's over.
But on the wishlist, is the desire to finally after many yrs, complete the ceiling in the laundry.  The mudroom in my daughter's farmhouse has a car-siding ceiling...lovin' it!  Maybe~
 This next one really isn't a wish as much as a dream...
just look at the size of this oak...massive and wonderful.  It would take at least 3-4 grandloves to hug it, touching fingertips.
 But wait...do you see why they call this 
' The Elephant Tree?'  Can you pick out his eye and trunk?
Cool, huh?
 There are soooo many things I love about 
' this ol' house.'  Yes, it's my daughter's., lucky girl.
 Back to my wish list...
I wish we were done peeling fenceposts...
but oh, how nice it will look when finally in place.
 I REALLY wish this active and fast youngster Porcupine were not eating the buds off the trees in our woods.  His days are numbered before he kills them all.  This fella sure is black.
 I'm wishing we had more color at OUR feeders...my daughter has Rosebreasted Grosbeaks, Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, Bluebirds...all the pretty birds.  It might help if I were to 
refill the feeders...
 If I were a horse, I'd wish to be in the line-up for a cookie.
 BUT, most of all today, I WISH I WERE A KID AGAIN,
with not a care in the world...
 So, what's on YOUR wish list today~
Life is Good!

What a fun post. It looks like there is a lot going on. I just wish it would stop raining and snowing so I could go outside and play.

I am always wishing I was where I ain't. I would love to be in the middle of some mountains in a tent.

BUT: Yeah the Elephant tree is neat!!!
Being a lover of wood, I do love that ceiling.
(I thought for a minute you were skinning logs for another log house!)

Love you lady, and did enjoy the pictures, your wishes and yeah, to be a kid again.....
