Saturday morning Joel ran out to the store for orange juice and came back with an armful of prettiest pink tulips. Tulips must be addicting because on our next trip out of the house, ten pale orange ones found their way into my hands and home to a vase.
I have to get up early for work everyday, but I always take a little time in the mornings to make the watering rounds with Cors in tow. Cors sometimes likes to sneak a drink from the watering can. Sometimes he just watches for chipmunks. We start with the patio flowers. The first rosebud of [...]
Hi! I hope you’re having a great Saturday! I’m recovering from a little case of food coma and I just realized that I was too busy baking pies and getting ready for a little BBQ we had with friends today and I completely forgot to post yesterday’s Thrifty Friday Post! During the month of July I’ll [...]
I stocked up on bug spray and I’ve been out in the yard attaching the weeds that have gotten a little taller than my veggies. All this sweat, itchy bug bites and hard work is making me feel a little extra love for my house plants. I mean, salad garden I love ya, but look [...]
This has been the week for evening projects. Monday I finished a scarf for a friend of a friend, last night I re-potted my rose and tonight I’m going to paint the frame for the map I ordered for our guest room. I’m planning a little photo tour of the room soon, too. I think [...]
Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! We’re supposed to have thunderstorms tonight (I hope so! there’s nothing better than a good storm) so I snuck out to take a few photos of our pretty backyard before the rain starts. I’m not quite sure what kind of tree this is. In West Virginia [...]
We’ve had some delightfully cooler days this week and I’ve found myself drawn more and more to the outdoors. Today, after some plant watering and weed pulling, I took the camera for a little wander around the garden. I found this little fellow in the middle of our side yard. I scanned my flower seed [...]
We’ve gotten all of our summer veggies planted and more and more of our flowers are blooming. The camera and I had a little stroll around the garden on saturday: My mom gave me these flowers last summer and I managed to keep them alive through the winter. They seem pretty happy to be back [...]
I’m so proud of this little cozy. The day I posted it, it made the front page of Etsy! The bark button is by Amberae.
Everywhere you look there are flowers. Our yard is filled with dark purple and pale white violets. The last of the hyacinths and our single daffodil are perfuming our living room. Our neighbors are tired of their thirty year old beautiful red tulips and have given them to us. They are blooming right now so [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
