An Evening Ramble

Spring is,
a promise

a Rebirth


New love

a smile,
laughter

Whispers
of summer


Baby’s face


a promise of forever,

renewal

sandles and

soft skirts

little girls whispers

and little boys mischief

spring is,

shaking off the old


the cold


breathing deep


shaking off

kisses


spring,
fills your soul


warms the heart

a promise of new life


Spring,
lovely, lovely
Spring…

Then you wake up to this:

and you remember that spring can be really annoying at times!

When spring time finally rolls around I just love getting out my seed box.
It is usually a huge mess with old, empty seed packages.

I spread them all out on the table so I can get a good idea of what I have.

Then I plan my garden for the year, and make a list of all the veggies and flowers I am going to need seeds for.

Whatever I don’t already have I order.
I usually try something new each year, it is exciting.
(I know dull life!)

Once the order is placed I can hardly wait to get my package in the mail.

Thursday my seeds came, and on that very day my oldest and I planted a few squares of lettuce, spinach and cabbage. In two more weeks we will do some more of the same, along with some potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips and some others. and in 6 weeks all the tender, summer veggies will go out.

What is planted (or will be) in your gardens this year?

Some odds and ends

When we moved in this lovely kitchen light came with the house.

I have always hated it.

When we painted I figured it would be a good time to finally replace the light.


I like this much better.
What do you think?

The End

After about a week and a half of painting we were finally finished. My brother-in-law did a fabulous job and I was so excited to get decortaing.

In the past I have decorated in the cutsie country fashon, I am now wanting to change a bit and I would like my house to look like a country farm house.

Here are some pictures of what I have done, mixed in with some of the finshed walls.


In the kitchen I did a darker brown and in the living area I did two colors, a light tan and a deep wine.

I have collected Birdhouses over the years, this is my ‘ode to cutsie country, I just couldn’t give up my bird houses (this is about half of the, the other half are going to find homes in the yard this year)

These plates were hand painted by my great-grandmother.

I am so happy with my new-to-me house!
