{Our Wild Creek}

Due to enormous amounts of rain over the past couple of days, we have a full and wild creek running through our property. The bridges had been elevated, as we learned from previous raging waters. So far, so good. Pieter took some photos with the iPhone.

 Let's have a look at our wild creek...

• This is our newest bridge, close to the road as you see. Husband Pieter finished it just before Valentine's Day in 2012.

• It looks more like a lake now and over the years this has grown in diameter a lot by raging water swirls.

• Branches and all kind of things get to travel down the creek.

• Looking from across the bridge towards the house...

• Showing our center bridge as well...

• This shows the two bridges.

• In the end you also see the first bridge; we got three in total. 
• Lots of rain but it would be far better if it came over several weeks instead of a couple of days.

Are you getting a lot of rainfall in your neck of the woods as well?

{Wearing Shades of Gray for Winter}

On December 14 of 2011, I did wear this newly purchased cotton coat from Costco, together with my linen plaid skirt. Again this year on February 10, I was wearing shades of gray for winter... Pantyhose from the Wolford Outlet: Wolford  @ Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets, Central Valley, NY 1-845-928-5818 for a great discount!

 There also is a Wolford Outlet at Orlando Premium Outlets at Vineland Ave. 

Also at Sawgrass Mills Outlets - 1700 Sawgrass Mills Circle -  33323 Sunrise, FL

With the weather going up and down from warm to cold(er) and from sunny to rain, we often need to switch coats. Just wanted to show this outfit. 

NO, I am not wearing a HALO but that is the mirror in our hallway...

Shoes are from Bruno Magli from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th Outlet.

December 14, 2011 outside in front of our Southern Magnolia.

My hair was shorter than.

Outside light in Georgia is most of the times too harsh...

Now you get to see a glimpse of our staircase area too...

Longer hair; but all in shades of gray!

Love this coat, wore it on Friday to Atlanta again... it was cold.

It has a long (way too long in fact...) belt that can be worn in the back.

It gives me a tail...

Sure, husband Pieter comes in his own shades of gray...

That was it  for today!

{Our Pearl Bush - Exochorda racemosa}

• However frail, our Pearlbush is showing some flowers again. We had such damage after the hot and dry summer of 2011, that we are glad some shrubs did even survive. 
• Our Pearl Bush Exochorda racemosa is one of them. In a previous post by me from March 2011, you can see lovely photos with more blossoms, together with real pearls. Just click on the link below this post. The above link goes to Woodlanders where it is still available for sale.

• Photo taken on Wednesday, February 20. 
• Look at the beautiful blue sky as a stark contrast with this lovely Pearl Bush blossom and buds. 
• Those buds do resemble pearls! 

• Another blossom almost completely opened up.
• Leaves also start to come...

• Love the special sunlight playing inside this perfect tip with buds...
• Does any of you have a Pearl Bush?
