		<title>Christmas Gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a baby kitten a few days ago trapped in the floor  my old derelict hotel. The little guy had somehow found his way into the space between the floor of the old hotel and the ceiling of the  grange hall downstairs. I had just arrived for my weekly opening of my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=106&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>swallows nest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Earlier this spring I had a family of swallows above the door to my rock shop. About the time those babies were getting ready to learn to fly and leave the nest another young pair of birds started building a new nest right next to the original one.
The second pair were younger and slenderer than [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=96&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>King and Queen&#8217;s crowns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

 
 
 
   I’ve added two more stained glass windows to my rock shop Kounting House located in king Hill, Idaho. The windows represent the king and the queen in the nursery rhyme “Sing a song of sixpence” and contain the king’s crown and the queen’s crown. The blackbirds and the pie they were baked in are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=84&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I was right, the granddaughter was much too busy to email me photos while she was on her trip. However, she did bring her camera to me over the weekend, three weeks after she returned home, so I could download all her photos to my computer and print up copies of the pictures for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=61&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Animals have the right idea,   they hibernate.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate January! I always try to leave town to escape it.  Over the years I’ve gone to Hawaii, Arizona and California in an effort to get away. When I am stuck at home during January I like to hide in my house by the fire and count the days till it is over.

		<title>Stained Glass Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
As part of my old building repair project, I asked one of my nephews, a couple of years ago, to design and put together some stained glass windows for my rock shop. He does stained glass as a hobby.
After a few false starts he got a design that I liked. Then he stalled again for almost a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=27&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

 A current project of mine is remodeling and restoring a couple of old circa 1905 and 1908 buildings which are connected by a mutual wall and collectively contain an old derelict hotel upstairs, a separate upstairs apartment, a grange hall meeting room and kitchen, post office and small store downstairs where I’m housing my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=15&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Discovering The Old Is New</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New is a relative term. Just because something is new does not mean it is better. Nor does it mean it was just created. All it means is it was recently discovered by the beholder. That fact was reinforced recently when Hubby and I drove to Arizona for some summer sunshine in the middle of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=12&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Winter Solstice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    December marks the winter solstice, the point where the sun is at it furthest from us (northern hemisphere of earth). I have always suffered seasonal affective disorder (mild sadness or melancholy in winter when the sunlight is low intensity). This year December was particularly bad &#8212; I didn’t even put up [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dixiereale.wordpress.com&blog=1526704&post=11&subd=dixiereale&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
