Deb Wants Garden Pics......

Sorry everyone, but Deb asked for more garden pics. So since I took several today, I thought I'd bore you and get it over with! If you want to REALLY see them, click on and I didn't downsize them.

This Blue Columbine never disappoints...it's my all-time Favorite!

Corydalis loves the shade along the garage. This one won't enlarge for you...I tried Wanda, but I must have messed up somewhere.....

The Geraniums are wonderful this spring with the cool nights and a bit of rain.

My mom brought this Lily of the Valley here and planted it over 20 years ago. When the wind blows the yard is full of their wonderful scent.

And the Poppies are really much prettier than the picture, much more of a red orange.

I have several Clematis blooming right now, but this one is the showiest.

This pink Columbine is from the neighbor who is Queen of Day Lilies.

The birdhouse has wrens in it. They are the loudest little bird for body size I've ever known!!!! Mom gave me this Vintage Columbine many years ago before they got them to grow in clumps. It goes all over!

And the Red Geranium is so deep red it looks like a miniature rose.

That's it for today. Thunder is rolling, so maybe some rain for the flowers.

Got some more wonderful Papers from Tim...LOVE them all, but the Lost and Found are my TOTAL FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow.....hopefully in the Studio.

Shopping and Having Fun!

We've been running around and enjoying the great weather here. Shopping for "junk" as my husband calls it, Antiquing I call it. We've been eating at our favorite places, and I'm reading a new book.

I love old keys and keyholes....easily amused I guess. I got some more vintage tin types and keys the other day and took out a piece I had kept for myself and never posted.

This is a collage I made a while back using some of my antique finds, papers and ink. I like to use wire and beads, too. Just fun stuff that looks old. I love the house substrate...it's kinda my thing I guess. This keyhole is really rusty...kinda cool!

Getting 3 shipments in this week to play with....new stuff that looks old perhaps??? Again, easily amused.


Got to see Erin play goalie this week in her dad's old goalie shirt!!! Ha! Now if that doesn't make everyone feel old....but he's kind of hung up his gloves for awhile. Tournaments this weekend....hoping for good weather.



LOVE my new camera!!!!! Could not have gotten these without it!



Life is Good!!!!!!!!!

Just Have to Share This Picture

Best Buds.....

Is this cute or what???????????/ Erin and Shadow. She's playing the piano, and he's just content to sit and listen. Ya gotta LOVE it!!!!

These 2 are so fun to watch. He's definitely HER dog.

We have been working our @^#%'s off in the yard this week. Trimming trees, breaking up perennials, planting annuals, seeds, and putting down Black Forrest Mulch. I really like this stuff. But I AM BEAT!!!

Tomorrow is a day to just sit and look at what we've accomplished, swing on the yard swing, drink coffee in the sunshine and enjoy the birds.

Sooooo many birds this year. Many I've never heard before. And gorgeous Goldfinches flitting through the trees.

Be Well, and Stop to Smell the Roses!
