bugs, dress up and other such things...

Wow. Long time no post. sorry. Life has just been moving along way to fast lately. Tomorrow is June! May was a blurrr...glad it is behind me! The picture of my chalkboard in this post says it all..my mind has just been blank lately. Miss Addi's sister has now joined us full time and our days are spent playing dress up and finding lots of bugs! Here is Karissa with her new friend...he is a worm and she named him inchy!!! to cute. They love their playhouse. Every year I seem to gravitate towards a certain flower, this year it is the trailing verbena! I bought three of these pink lovely hanging baskets...so pretty! We also have been busy hitting the garages sales on Thursdays...the girls are excellent sign spotters! they can see one a mile away! Got to train them in early...I hope you have a great weekend! Hope to blog again soon!

spring ritual...

It was a beautiful spring weekend, so we spent it doing our spring ritual... 1. fresh coat of paint of the garden gate (check) 2. buy flats of flowers to plant next weekend. (check) 3. sweep out the screen porch and add plants, wash curtains in screen porch too.(check) 4. Rake the yard (check) 5. take off storm window and put up screens(check) 6. straighten that potting shed sign (again) (check). Straighten up the playhouse...those girls didn't pick it up when they were done on Friday! (check) . What are your spring rituals? Next on my list is to sit down and make out a list for next weekend!

Playhouse

Last weekend I kept myself busy by turning my garage into a playhouse for my nieces. Miss Addie's sister Karissa is joining us for the summer! so I white washed the walls and painted their names on door panels and did a chalkboard on the walls...the other side of the garage is auntie's harvest table and chairs to sit and blog on her laptop while they play...they love it! We added a screen door for those hot summer days...I wonder if it will be as cool a summer as our spring has been? These two little girls have been keeping me busy these last few days, which is just what I need! I am so blessed to have them in my life....

THank You!

I want to thank everyone for their kind supportive comments that you have left on my blog...It is such a good feeling to know that so many friends are out there in bloggerville thinking and praying for me and my family! I can't tell you how much your comments have comforted me....You are the best! These pictures were taken of my Mom and I in 1961 and present...I was the youngest of six but she always made me feel like I was her favorite! and my other brothers and sisters will say the same about themselves! now that is a great Mom! Have a great weekend...Mother's day is Sunday,If your Mother is still with you give her a big hug! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness!

A sad time.....

looky looky

Looky what I bought...I have been dreaming of a laptop for about a year...and finally got my pennies together and bought one...I love it! I am on the go so much with Addi...I will be able to blog from her house and the playground! and it will be really handy when my Mom is going through surgery and rehab. On my way to my Mom's on Thurs. I saw a garage sale sign! the first one this season...yay! I had to stop, and boy am I glad I did. I found this sweet side chair for 25.00! It is old and had just been recovered in a black linen fabric! I stuck it in my dinning room in the corner by my mantel for now...very comfy! I looks ok with my black harvest table and bench but it is a little crowed in there,I might have to move to the spare room...Enjoy your weekend!
