  • HOT Sun & Tattered Roses

    HOT Sun & Tattered Roses

    What do we do when it is
    104 degrees out and too hot
    for pretty much anything else ?

    We make a gazillion
    tattered roses because
    they dry in about 5 minutes :)

    The HOT sun comes in very
    handy for drying stuff fast!

    The poor hydrangea blooms in
    the background are on
    their last leg ~ It
    is funny to me when in
    blog world I am seeing
    some people just now
    picking peonies and
    my hydrangeas are almost
    dried on the bush ~

    We will be tea staining
    the world tomorrow
    and our backyard will
    look like a big giant
    drying rack :)

  • Signs of Summer in my Backyard

    Signs of Summer in my Backyard

    Yesterday the kids all came over to BBQ and swim ~

    It was so fun because it just felt like summer was here ~ I love

    the summer and all of the things that go along with it ~

    These are just a few signs of summer from my backyard yesterday~

    In the morning I tea dyed some linens to make more pillows ~ I love being able to hang them outside to dry and it took no time at all in the 90 degree weather we are having already ~

    I planted 5 peach trees a few years ago because I love peaches and they always seem to be yucky in the grocery store ~ This year 2 of the 5 have peaches and there are tons ! We are trying to get to them before the birds and the bugs ~ they are so sweet and delicious ~

    It is so fun to me to go out in my yard and pick my own herbs so every year I grow some ~

    Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and I love the color of this one so much ~

    This is Kirby after a swim ~ He loves loves the water and looks so cute all wet so I had to take a picture ~

    Well I am off to fold linens and lace ~

    Have a wonderful day !

  • I've Been Tagged

    I've Been Tagged

    I was tagged by Priscilla of Flea Market Queen to tell you 7 weird things about myself ~ hmmmm..... okay here it goes ....

    1. If I see some great trash in someones trash pile, I will stop or make my family stop ~ they get so mad at me :o)

    2. I would rather shop at a flea market than a mall

    3. I fall asleep in movie theatres almost every time I go

    4. I love spring and hate winter and really don't like the hot summer either ~ I kind of like just that perfect weather, I need to live in Hawaii

    5. I can count on my fingers how many times I have worn high heals

    6. I adore traveling !!! I guess that isn't so weird .... but I would be thrilled to hit thrift stores or flea markets no matter where I am and I usually do

    7. I am almost always freezing cold ~ I think I might be looking forward to hot flashes ~ remind me I said that when I am going through them ~ :O)
