2020 Just keeps getting better...lol!




Happy Sunday Evening!
This week was eventful. Out of no where we had a very large tree branch fall. No wind, nothing. Just rotten I guess.  We have been fighting tree bores and I guess I thought with pesticides and regular trimming, we were doing ok. Guess not. Luckily, it missed everything. Crisis averted. Now we have fire wood. Lol. Hope this week is a bit calmer, but I wont count on it. 

Have a great week!

More Flowers!!!







Hello, Happy Wednesday!
We had so much fun yesterday. So good to relax and see our good friends. Pictures to come later. 
For now... more flowers. 
I guess the mild winter actually did something. Everything is blooming!
Water is low though, and fire season is ramping up. 
We pray everyday for rain.

Have a great day!!!

Navy Blue Greengate Love




Hello, Happy Thursday!
Busy busy day. Heading out for Dentist appointments and then coming home to finish putting up our pool and inflating rafts. 
Summer is just ticking along. Days are finally reaching the 90's. Gotta mow grass, de-clutter the house and start prepping for a garage sale. Before that though, I really gotta hang out and do nothing. Thats what summer is all about, right?
In the meantime, like the hottest part of the day, I am gonna dream of Greengate. I am loving everything blue lately. I am looking forward to going on a road trip to my besties new house. I am so anxious for her to move. Closer. Closer is good. 
Have a great day!

Change of plans...



Its funny how you can have a plan and your sure its the right plan and then something happens, or nothing happens, and your whole idea of perfect changes. I was ready to close in the porch. And then, I walked out there one day, and the sun was shining, it was warm, the girls were out playing and there was a slight breeze and I thought, "why do I want to close this up?"


So I decided not to.
Simple. 
I have to say my husband was relieved. 
Ha Ha.



I do plan on adding curtains, and a rug and fun chairs with cushions, maybe a chalkboard sign and wreath...
But thats it. 
There are far too many other projects that I would rather tackle.
and....

...I really cant wait until I can live in flip flops. Love summer time.


...and of course, for the night time. My girls are happiest when they can play outside in the dark....


So lights are a must!

Hope your day is bright and sunny!

~ Strawberries ~





Hello. Happy Monday. Hope everyone is having a great start to your week. I am having a very unusual quiet moment. The kids are at Vacation Bible School and I have the house to myself. So what do I do? I clean. Bizarre. However I did decided to take a quick moment to post about Strawberries. I am thinking about making some of these cute little pin cushions. I cant decide how big. Maybe all different sizes. I love them. So summery. I think the rains are going to slow down for a few days, got to get lots of swimming in. 

Have a great day!

~ Greengate... Christmas in July ~

I am loving the new Greengate catalog at their website. 
www.greengate.dk
It is their Winter 2011 catalog and there are some really pretty things in it. I wish I could buy their products here, but this is another one of those hard to get companies. Hopefully the will come to the USA soon. 
I can only hope. 
Enjoy!

~ More Peonies ~

 I wish I could say these beauties came from my own Peony plant, but no. They are from My husbands Grandmothers house. Normally I would enjoy them on the bush, but they were either broken or laying in the dirt. Had to rescue them. 

 Beautiful Tablescape with my favorite flower and fun new fabric...


 We live in a pretty small town and all our shopping is usually done in a neighboring county that has larger stores like Walmart and Target. However this weekend I discovered a new store... Tuesday Morning. Have you been? It was wonderful. I found many new things that I probably did not need but I couldn't help myself. I love these flip top bottles. Wonderful. 

I find it so crazy how change just puts itself in your path. Just when you think things are going good and normal and nothing eventful is happening.... boom, something changes. It is so ironic how you can be so sure of one thing and by the next day it is different. I guess thats what keeps life interesting. 
Hope you are having a great day. 
Smile!

~ Pink Lilacs ~




Ahhhh, I love this time of year. My Pink Lilac is in full bloom, and all my other trees and plants are doing great. Yesterday my darling husband planted a Mountain Ash Tree for me as well as another pink lilac. We also started working on our back yard and cleaned up some more weeds and mowed more grass... (our back yard is pretty extensive). We will be starting on a fence soon, but there are many steps before. It is turning out great. 
Hope you had a wonderful Weekend.

~ Dreaming of Tilda ~


The last few days I have found myself daydreaming about the wonderful products from Tone Finnanger. The Tilda products. They are not available in the US, which is no different from anything else I am dreaming about, but I have found a few sellers from over seas that I could buy from. So I am anxiously awaiting some lovely pieces of the above fabrics. I have no idea what I will use them for, but cant wait. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Smile!

 Beautiful white lilacs from my Father in Laws Tree...
a perfect birthday present.

Today's my Birthday. I am happy to say that I will be spending it with my girls. My oldest wants to bake my cake, so with my assistance, she will be doing that today. The weather is beautiful and my Husband gave me the best gift ever.... he cleaned up the yard and mowed and weed wacked every possible weed. I am pretty easy to please. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
; ) 

oh, I almost forgot
Happy first day of Summer!!!!!

~ Home ~



We're home. We had a wonderful visit to my parents house and just rolled back in last night. Now I am in cleanup mode. Laundry to do and stuff to put away. I did come back with a much better attitude and more creativity. I am going to start an organizing spree throughout my home. I want everything to have a place. This seems to be a problem with us, especially with toys and linens. Two things we have alot of. Ahhh home sweet home.
