Just What I Need, How About You?

Hello Friends~ ~ ~

Yes, It's January 1, 2010 Happy New Year to you.

What I am really longing for is to get my hands in the dirt

and grow some beautiful flowers.

Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we?

All of these lovely blooms are from my gardens.


For all of you who live where it's warm all year. I'm so jealous.
I have one peony bush and it this red stunner.
I love it when you can see the yellow centers, don't you?

Isn't this Honey Dijon rose amazing?

Wishing you the Best this year.

Inspiration

Hello Friends~ ~ ~

Oftentimes inspiration appears in a blog as we are visiting our friends. To me that is one of the greatest things about blogging. The other day I was visiting my friend Kathleen's blog and her simple act of sharing her idea of how she makes doing the dishes more enjoyable struck a cord in me and sent me into the garden with a clippers to gather flowers.

This is the result of a trip around the garden with a shears and a mason jar filled with water.

It does make the kitchen much more enjoyable. Please visit Kathleen and see her pretty sink.

Remember Washlines?

Greetings Friends~ ~ ~I was outside today taking some pictures on this lovely, sunny, slightly breezy day. Thought I would share them with you along with my ideas about washlines. I would love to hear your ideas too.
Do you remember your Mother hanging clothes outside on the line? Remember how sweet the wash smelled when you brought it inside?

I was visiting another blog and she had posted pics of pretty clothes pins she purchased that were painted pastel colors then decorated with tiny flowers. How sweet these would look on the washline holding my sheets in this lovely Spring breeze.

Maybe I'll have to paint some clothpins. . .What if I put up a washline?

Yeah I know, more difficult then throwing things in the dryer but it's greener!

What if I just hung a few things out like sheets and maybe towels?

Tell me what you think. Would you be willing to do the extra work to have your things smell sweet & sunny or not? Maybe you already hang clothes outside. Leave a comment and let's chat.
