Happy Monday!

How is everyone today? Our rain here has finally stopped and we are having 90 degree weather and

sun, so everyone is in a better mood it seems!

I wanted to show you how my flowers have progressed, the picture below shows when I just planted

the window box this spring,

here it is now! Whoa!

The butterflies love them!

Remember my hydrangea that I bought with my fingers crossed?

This is what it looked like after I had cleared all the dead leaves

off of it!

 

I about fainted one day when I noticed this bloom, boy, would my mom

and dad be proud, both had green thumbs!

I have know idea what this is, coleus I think, looks cute in my blue

rusty watering can!

 

 

Now on to some things I have found!

I finally found a pom pom throw that didn’t cost an arm and leg, I found

this at Target online. It’s so soft!

 

 

These croquet balls caught my eye at the antique fair this past May! I’d love

to find more!

 

 

 

 

I’m thinking on painting this wash stand a light gray or white, will see what happens!

 

I’m so glad to be back blogging again and so happy many of you supported me also!

Love you all!

I’ll be back soon!

My Laptop Died

That's why I haven't been posting, well that and  recovering from my operation. When I was recovering I really didn't feel like posting because there wasn't much to post about except for
how great my family was at the time and how well the nurses on my floor took care of me. Also
 just thankful for being alive, it was touch and go there for a while that night! I'd like to say also
that if I hadn't stopped smoking over two years ago I know in my heart that I wouldn't have made it!

My laptop was old with windows 7 and not being computer savvy I didn't want to go on to windows
8...scared to death but here I am now with windows 8 and soon it will be windows 10!!! On my old
laptop it would get so hot you couldn't touch it an then would shut down without any warning,
it did it once while I was writing a post and it was all gone so I decided to wait, my son had my new

laptop and had to return it. So I'm back now and ready to decorate!!!

Now I can't load my pictures from my iphone or camera, my son is coming for dinner tonight so maybe tomorrow I'll get back in the swing of things after he shows me how!

Here are two oldie but goodies, I don't like to post without pictures, for you!
This bench I found at a yardsale for $15.00, Michael was home this past weekend, he is putting his
cottage by the bay up for sale and I gave him this to put in his mudroom.

                                                                       

I have so much to show you!

Outside My Home

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful long weekend, we are and I’m

glad to be up and around and enjoying it. We drove to the mountains where our

friends camp and had Buster with us , he loved being around a lot of other dogs.

We also stopped at an antique fair where I found an aqua McCoy planter and

also three croquet balls, which I had been looking for. Maybe one day I’ll find the

rest of them!

I haven’t been doing to much, can’t lift anything heavy but I have been outside doing

what I can. Here are some pictures that I took this morning.

I love my clematis, it gets prettier every year, not done yet but wanted to show you.

The birdhouse I bought at Marshall’s aren’t the petunias pretty?

I did buy another clematis for my light at the end of the driveway, I hope it grows.

The birdfeeder I found at Tractor Supply, I hung it from my light at the end

of the driveway, hopefully Mr. Squirrel won’t be able to get at this one!

This was a complete surprise when I cleared the dead leaves away from it

because I really didn’t think it would grow. It’s a Hydrangea that I bought

last year and planted, as you can see it is growing but I know it can take

a couple years to show some blooms!

A little of my front porch, still not done with it, just have to take it slow for a while!

I appreciate all that stop by and always read your comments!

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! The kids are all coming here with pizza and salad! I’m getting a little better everyday it’s just such a

slow process that I want to hurry up but can’t.

Thank you all so much for praying for me and for your sweet comments, I’ve read everyone of them and with tears in my eyes. You are the best! I’ll be back posting soon!

Sunshine in the Kitchen

Hi Everyone!

I wanted you to see my kitchen with the sun shining thur the window. Feels so good

to see the sun shining again, anyway I’m in love with my kitchen so much now, I don’t know

whether to decorate it or not because right now I’m just enjoying the clean look of it!

I’m liking the top of the cabinets bare, if I do put anything up

there it will only be one or two things. Oh, the towel is from

Target…gold metallic dots!

This is my coffee bar with a brand new coffee maker

Here is my lamp that I got on sale at Target, when the light is off the

design doesn’t show! I still don’t have baskets for my TV stand/dresser, found

two at Marshall’s but they were to tall so I had to return them, I think my best

bet is a trip to Michael’s.

Have a great week ahead and enjoy this spring weather!
