Oats!

My stand of oats!   Remembering my Dad!

I made the other bundle (leaf roses) heather and hydrangea back in August;   had it on a stand of oats too!  But the chipmunk ate off the oats!  I used pine and holly instead to finish it off this time!  Put the bows on and took them to the grave right away! :)

I have been making the oat bundles for a very long time; but now every year I always make one;   in remembrance of my Dad!



This Saturday marks the Anniversary of saying good bye!  But everyday I remember him and miss him!  Hunting season it is both happy and annoying!  Hate that the dogs and I have to  wear orange but happy I get to wear my dad's coat!  He loved going hunting; not really for the game;  but for the adventure in the woods!  He always hiked!  Loved being in the woods!  


Hope everyone has a great day!   Health and happiness!
Best Wishes to everyone and thanks for stopping bye!
