Halcyon Days of Summer!

I am taking it easy this weekend, counting my blessings and getting a little R & R!
A favorite watercolor by Holly Kitaura of Hawaii. Picked up on one of our trips to that state.
This lady represents how I sometimes feel (there is a subliminal message in this painting)

 and it hangs in my kitchen.

Answer The Door!!

What do you do when the doorbell rings?

Well, I say "Bob can you get the door?"
 I would strongly advise, If someone rings your doorbell...answer it!
 You see, I don't often get flowers delivered from the florist.
Some of you may remember, Bob brings me FREE, flowers.
Hey, they're still flowers . You can read about them
Here, here , here, here, and here.

A LITTLE TWEAK HERE, A LITTLE TWEAK THERE!


A week or so after the Fourth of July,
I put the patriotic decor away until September.
After all the fireworks 
I wanted to cool things down a little! 
Honestly it didn't work because it was 101 degrees
here today. Not sure about the index.

Monet's Garden?


In a recent post I shared runners that I had made 
with fabric that reminded me of 
Monet's Garden at Giverney
Many of you agreed with me,
so I decided to alter the tablescape I had in mind.
I decided to try and interpret the master's
awesome gardens. I do know that is a tall order
but here goes!

Miracle Shrub!

New and exotic shrub discovered
on Georgia barrier island!
Never before seen by man nor beast.

It looks like hydrangea but look closer. 

Sweet Ole Bob came back from taking out the trash. He says to me. "Did you see that?" "What", I asked. "There are hydrangeas growing from the Formosa azalea out by the service yard." "Really?", I say.

Sure enough, beautiful blue hydrangea blossoms and they are really growing out of the azalea bush.


This floral paint can be used on fresh and dried flowers.
This came from Michael's.

I haven't figured out a way to dry them to retain their beautiful blue color. And everyone knows that I LOVE blue.

I will store them here for now. I will decide what to do with them later. Just now, I am trying to wipe that silly grin from my face. Sweet Ole Bob is just shaking his head in wonder.


One pic accidentally got part of my breakfast room shelf. I will post about this shelf later. I gotta go back outside. It is a beautiful day. I have spray painting to do and new shrubs to discover.


Just so you know, I didn't intend to play a joke on Bob. I had just stuck the hydrangeas in the azalea for the paint to dry. He was too funny.

See you guys, stay young at heart! 

I am joining up with this crowd of fantastic ladies:
