A beautiful Day For A Fall wedding in Pennsylvania

Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 7:24 pm

We went to a wedding in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania on Saturday. The weather was warm enough, so the wedding was held outside at the beautiful Stroudsmoor Inn. Here are a few photos to show you how pretty it was. The bride is a teacher from school. My husband and I were honored to be invited to this joyous occasion.

Since we had a 3 day holiday weekend, we thought about moving our pond bench..... Now hubby doesn't have to move it everytime he mows the lawn.


Here's the way it looked before.......


Here's the progress......


Even froggy is watching the progress......





hubby did a great job on this project

Now that Summer's here....things are popping

Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 11:15 am

Well, we sit around all Winter waiting for Spring. I have been working like crazy to get things ready for Summer. Here's some of the progress I've made.

Here's the pond, I must have shared about thirty lilies from our pond this year. This will let the lilies spread out even more.....

Here's my resident frog, he comes to the pond and then goes to the creek to visit his froggy friends......







The old vege garden is now my experimental seed garden, this is where I try all of the seeds that I've swapped for.





I planted a ton of zinnias as the butterflies seem to enjoy them.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

beautiful victorians

Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 1:56 am

I would also like the following victorian houses.....


I wonder what it would cost to build one of these? That's if you could be lucky enough to find craftsmen or magicians, to do all of the intricate and detail of the building.Wow! and to have the know how, and of being able to make such intricate detail..... I just stand in awe of the whole concept....of the houses/mansions of a previous era. I can't help but wonder what the people that built the houses were like. And what they would think of our modern ways and tools...If I owned one of these I would certainly have the whole yard done up in the landscape of the victorian era.
I just walked around town and thought of how people could improve things around the houses. Hubby just laughed and let me ramble, after all it was our anniversary...lol I have one of those minds that shouldn't be allowed to wander on its own.









I love the hanging baskets in this photo.....

All the beautiful Victorians....."just one would do.." lol

Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:11 pm

I would just take 1 "little House" I am so fascinated with all of the ornate details. You just can't find that in modern buildings. I would love to have a new house.... but the old houses truly have much more to offer.

Which would you do?
Have a new house built or buy an older house redone.

Here's a few more photos..... enjoy,

This one would do,


or,





or maybe this one.....lol

It was awesome to see the old antique and very beautiful architecture.We took a walk around town and took some photos, I could only hope to own a beautiful Victorian like these.....

A little Blue bird came to visit, Spring is on its way

Category: Kratz7's Blog | Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 8:48 pm

Hi everyone,

I was watching the birdies this morning and a little blue one came to visit. It's a bummer, I didn't have time to put the camera on the tripod. Hopefully I can go out early on Saturday morning and set the tripod up and get some more photos..... What a nice thing to see, as Spring should certainly be on its way....
They were only around for a short time though...

Here are some photos I took last Summer in New Jersey at one of the local lighthouses near Cape May.






This has to be my favorite picture......


I think it would be cool to live in a lighthouse, imagine the views
