I used to set the gallon jar out on the steps to make sun tea. My mom told me you can do the same thing but just stick it in the fridge. No sun–no hot tea to cool off when you’re thirsty for a big tall glass! I take the gallon pitcher and 8 tea [...]
I was doing some photo practice today and decided to use the flowers I picked the other day. I enjoy bringing in little flowers to brighten up my kitchen. I think they’re pretty sweet. *It appears that lilacs are winning in the poll! They’re my favorite too. I messed up the poll by leaving the [...]
I have had a few parts of the bedroom come together. I haven’t been as motivated to finish it since my husband’s not home. Eventually it will get there! Last year, I decided on a red/black theme with silver accents. I finally found a red duvet cover at Target and some clips to turn my [...]
Laurel Wreath is hosting a New Year’s Meditations Carnival. Since I’m thinking about this stuff today, I thought I’d participate. Barbara at Stray Thoughts talked about New Year’s Goals. I like that so much better than resolutions that I’m not going to keep anyway! Physical 1. I will continue to work out and eat healthier. [...]
I was inspired by Anna at Pleasant View Schoolhouse today. I’ve seen this idea before, but my bathroom doesn’t really have anywhere to put these pretty dishes. The soap dish idea was too good to pass up. I peeked under my sink pretty sure that I had at least one of these and came up [...]
I decided to skip the red bulbs on the tree this year due to the new kitty! (Just in case). I didn’t want to put them away though and I needed something different for the counter. Ta da!
James and I raked half of the backyard today. We have a huge tree and that baby has a LOT of leaves. Today is a nice crisp (not too cold) Autumn day. It felt good to get some of the yard cleaned up. We put some toys in the garage, put the garden hose away, [...]
Earlier this year, I had a hydrangea from my brother’s wedding in here. In the spring, I had a robin’s nest with plastic eggs. I never found anything to put in it for summer though. Aren’t these little pumpkins so cute! I found them at the farmer’s market for .50 each. The white spots on [...]
I need to find an unlimited long distance plan. I prefer land line plans, but will consider cell phone plans. Does anyone know of a great company I should know about? Thanks!
Tonight, I picked 2 cucumbers from the garden. James and his cousin picked a few green onions. Then we sat outside, sprinkled them with salt and chomped away. What more could a girl ask for?
