My oh My!

Well, I guess it is clear that I am not a very faithful blogger.  Would love to do better but just can't seem to make it a priority.  For you faithful few who follow me I will try to do better.

 Thought I'd share some photos I have of my fall decorations around the house.  The hutch belonged to my mother and I have decided I will decorate it for each season.  The little black chair on the right was her high chair.  :)

 This second one is a bit blurry. I guess my hand was a bit shaky.

Until next time!

Loving Springtime

Well, I see by the date of my last post over a month has past since I have been here.
But life has been busy and so have I.

 I went on a little trip over Mother's day to attend my youngest granddaughter, Emily's, dedication.  I loved spending time with her and her big sister and their parents too of course.   ;)

My sweetheart took me shopping for some plants to spruce up our flower garden.   We purchased a peony, a bleeding heart and a new rose bush.  I also found a fuschia  for hanging.    I had bought some impatiens and geraniums the day before to brighten up the front porch.
Love the effect of all the pretties.

I have been cleaning and de cluttering for some time now to prepare for my dad to come stay with us.  I am looking forward to having him here.  It has helped me to get motivated to get things pared down.  I started quite some time ago but this has helped to get me jump started again.  LOL!

Have a nice beef stew on the stove for supper.  Starting to smell very good in here!

Until next time.....

Time flies

Oh, I cannot believe it has been almost a year since I posted anything on here.
Life has been happening.  We have lost a family member, my mother, and added one, Emily Rachel, our newest granddaughter.   It has definitely been a different kind of year for me.  Has seemed so busy.

We are in process of getting an additional room put onto our house. My dad will be moving in to live with us.  I am excited to have him here.  Have never really had the chance to spend a lot of time with him.  He brings with him two doggies which will make life interesting since we have one too!  They all get along well so there should be no problems there.

I have been working on a design for my home office/library/sewing/guest room.. Trying to find a place for everything and getting rid of the things that just don't fit.

I have spent some time away from home,a month actually, helping my dad prepare to move and just spending time with my sister.

Spring has finally arrived here and I am very grateful for the warmer weather. Everything is blooming, daffodils and the magnolia tree are in full swing. I saw some buds on the tulips this morning.  Time to get the summer furniture out and clean it up.  :)   Looking forward to some days of enjoying the front porch view!

Take care.
Until next time!
