I am off to a Volunteer Brunch that I got a personal invitation to. Can I just say, I love having children, & a wonderful school for them to be in!
It is wonderful when you truly enjoy the people around your ‘community’. It makes ‘volunteering’ actually fun with friends.
I hyper colored this picture to give you my view point of this tree!
I am in. love. with. this. tree!
Can someone out there in the blog world tell me what kind of tree it is? I seriously want one for my yard.
Did everyone have a wonderful Mother’s Day?
I believe every year with my girls gets better and better! Being a mom is so wonderful, but it seems as they get older it gets better. <3
We went to Whole Foods for a free coffee, flower, & mini pastries. It was lovely, and while we walked about, they had beautiful bouquets in Mason jars, & I had to have one! So I came home, pulled out one of my Mason jars, and started to walk the perimeter of my house. I feel like I came up with a good combo, don’t you? I wanted to put a yellow tiger lilly in there too, but held back. My husband came home later and brought me some white roses too. I love it!
I know when you think greenhouse it conjures up images like this…
Or like this one…
But.. how about this?
Maybe this in a tropical area, but in Indiana?
Fresh Pineapple anyone? I wish this would grow in my backyard!
I have saved the best for last, however. This is the reason I go to Varners…
These beauties are my beautiful girl’s favorite. They are so pretty!
Bet you’d never guess what I been doing all weekend?!
I know I mentioned that I might not be doing a garden this year because of Europe… but I’m crazy like that I guess.
My thinking is that if I promise someone my harvest for that three weeks, they will come water for that time. What do you think? Even enough trade?
Here it is the end-ish of April and it is snowy/rain mix outside my windows, so I am focusing on the positive!
Here are the pictures I took of my garden this weekend. It is now in bloom, although I pray it’s not all getting frost bit as I type :/
I can feel spring in the air, and it is coming slowly but surely… This lovely little rose as made her appearance! Do you think she would like to be planted outside soon? I sure do.. amongst the “bugs” in my perennial garden.
I realize I have been away for a few days, but I promise I have good reason! It was Easter and my birthday all in one day…
I made this cute little basket for “my” Easter present. Target dollar spot is where I snagged the basket, but what I want to talk about is how everything is edible. The suckers are so sweet, pun intended, and the bunny? Lindt dark chocolate (holy yumm), and the grass is imported from Germany, it is edible too! It’s not delicious, but not bad either, just eh.
So I know I am a little on the Easter post, but what you think? Cute huh?!
My husband bought me some lovely roses for International Women’s Day, March 8th. I got a dozen of them, half white and half purple; the colors from our wedding. Isn’t it lovely when your husband remembers the little things?
I was hoping to bring a couple of them to work with me, to enjoy there, but I couldn’t find my bud vase. Actually, do I even own a bud vase? hmmmm… I went ahead to work without them this morning. When I got there, the universe must have heard me, because one of my coworkers were drinking out of this bottle. I walked up to him and said “Oh I see Starbucks changed their packaging. I am such a sucker for cool, unique packaging.” Just like that I had an empty bottle in my hands. Lucky for me I work in the print industry, so getting the sticky label goo off was as easy as walking over to get the acetone off the press. I had the twine in my drawer at home, from use in my garden. So? What do you think? It will look nice on my desk at work, right?
