Inspirational friday

Yeah! It's Friday...I found this picture in my Romantic Home Sewing book, I would love to curl up this weekend and read a book in this cozy bed...better yet, if it were up by the lake in a little cottage! perfect. I am going to try and relax this weekend and read a book, but first things first...gotta go junking tomorrow morning bright and early! I hope everyone has a relaxing rest filled weekend...take care. p.s. sorry about the crooked scanned picture.

a walk around the yard....

"May I a small house and a large garden have. A few friends and many books, both wise, both true, and both delightful, too." by Abraham Cowley I have lived in my small house(1600 square feet) since 1982...I will never tire of it...I fell in love with it and my large garden the day we met!

Love...

Only love would possess a 48 year old man to put on a princess crown and model it for his great niece....my husband Mark is the best!

the lake house

We just got back from a week at the lake...it was a great week full of campfires, boat rides, fishing, long walks, sandy feet and smores! It was so nice to have my Mom join us, she hasn't been there since my Dad passed away(this place was my Dad's passion) she had a great time! I am so blessed to have all of these people in my life....

It feels like Monday...

Addison is down for a nap, perfect time to post! I hope everyone had a nice weekend...We had a very good one. Our family took my Mom to brunch and then on to four different cemeteries and placed flowers on the graves andwe all reminisced...Cemetery hopping is not that bad. It was good to be with loved ones who were all feeling the same about the ones we have lost..We visited big graveyards and a very special small one where my Mom's sister is buried, it is out in the country in the middle of nowhere on a hill and all around it was green lush farmland, the air was fresh and it was beautiful sunny day. My Mom was happy... We also got all of our planting done this weekend! yeah! and of course can't forget a picture of our Guard Cat(Skippy) hiding in the ferns keeping watch!
The weekend went to fast! and it feels like it is Monday....

great idea...

Just another great idea that Country Home has come up with...Matching wicker plant stands that serve as the base and then they added glass to the top and it becomes a desk, they also added glass on the sides and used them as shelves. Clever. I have one wicker plant stand in my summer porch...I guess I know what I will be hunting for at the next flea market! I hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial Day weekend! what are your plans?

A lazy afternoon

It's a rainy dreary day here today...what else is there to do but lounge around on the living room floor! Hope your day is going great....
