The Summer is over, and the Fall is here. But I have so many photos of how lovely our yard looked this year. I thought today it would be fun if I shared a few of my favorites. We had such lovely weather all summer that we were able to really enjoy it. We had a couple of parties, had about half of our meals on the patio, and started countless days in the yard with a cup of coffee. You should be...

Church sales? Do you look online? Craigslist? It makes no matter how you shop. I love it all, and have done all of the above! Glad to know that your one of my people. So, When you're out and about...

Hello There! I've decided to put in some more time here. My plan is to post at least 3 to 4 times a week. In order for me to make this a success, I will need to do the work. Makes sense, right? Let's get to it ;)   At the start of the summer, I had a half day of work. I was at home alone and puttering around the yard. The weather was nice and we had just gotten some annuals for the patio. I...

Hello. Happy Fall. I haven't been around, so lets just jump right in!   I had this succulent that was getting really tall and leggy. So tall, that it was falling over the side of the planter it was in. He was also growing Flower/ Plant babies off his trunk and out of his roots. I researched and found out that succulents will do that because they are not getting enough sun. Well baby, we live...

Hi there! I know Easter was a few days ago, but here is a quick look at the Front Porch decorated for Spring and Easter. In another week and it will all change once again!

I collected from my stash all of my Purple...
