Spring Door Ornament

I was in a " Springy" mood

My daughter still has her Christmas Wreath up
so I thought it was time to get it changed


Some of the items I had on hand
a few I bought at the dollar store
 (sorry abt the out of focus picture
 I thought I had the auto focus on)


I cut the block in half 
stuffed newspaper in the bottom
of the basket



then I just stuck the flowers
in random order






I thought I had brown filler
but I didn't
so I cut a lunch bag


then threw a crimper



then a shredder



then filled around the base of the flowers


attached a bow
and a hanging cord
and Viola!!

What's your emergency......

Ummmmmmmmmm 

The electrical pole
 in front of my house is on fire


yuppppp
 5 am the power went off
so I got out of bed
 to see if everyone's power was out

Yup it was
but wait what is the red floating stuff....

Looks like sparks
So I look up
and what do I see....
 yup flames coming out of the pole
(I didn't get any pix til it had 
died down - I was to worried  in awe)

WAIT THERE ARE FLAMES
COMING OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL POLE!!


and the embers are landing on my van!!

So I called 911
 The fire truck came
and they sat there and watched it burn...
I mean ?????

the the electric company comes
the fire dept leaves


the guy gets up in the bucket with a fire extinguisher
they leave 
an hr or so later......












All fixed and back to business
What a way to start the day


Ps this whole episode fried our router
so no internet until late last night

The squirrels were out playing

Rain this afternoon....



Maybe snow tonight......

Yup... it must be Spring


Happy Birthday Pat
