Teacup Tuesday: transitioning into fall
I've had a puzzle on this little breakfast table for several weeks. After finishing it I decided to set the table with a late summer, transitioning into fall setting. I love these colors and the china - Silver Cove by Noritake, manufactured from 1986-1999. It reminds me of Art Deco style architecture! Obviously, I had … Continue reading Teacup Tuesday: transitioning into fall
Balloon Fun
The back of my car filled with the doomed balloons. Nice and cool at that time! My first balloon tower (created for the recent dog show and our breed specialty) ended in disaster after being transported to its intended location. Most of the balloons popped when I took them from the 70 degree car into … Continue reading Balloon Fun

Life is full of ups and downs. Life is good. I am thankful. In the past few weeks (after the … Continue reading Life is good and so is Barbie
If you wait…
Yes, good things do come to those who wait when they wait wisely and patiently. In this case, it was being able to wait patiently from December to July for a Christmas-in-July sale that I didn't know for sure would happen. In truth, I had no choice. If this Fitz & Floyd Santa was going … Continue reading If you wait…
Don’t move me, I’m happy here
This spider plant has struggled for several years. I had it hanging from a tree branch in my front yard where it should have been very happy. Indirect light was good and sometimes a little sun. Rain water when it rained and well watered and fed plant food regularly. Last year (2022) it looked so … Continue reading Don’t move me, I’m happy here
Surprises along the trail
My faithful walking companion (four-legged, of course), and I had just started a morning walk in a nearby park when to my surprised I glanced over to the side of the paved walkway and saw this - a yellow crooked neck squash vine! How on earth did a squash plant come up in this park? … Continue reading Surprises along the trail
On the vine
Cherry tomatoes on the vine instantly bring back the memory of sneaking a few into my mouth while crouching low in the garden furrow to avoid my grandmother on the next row from seeing me. I had been told not to eat them unwashed, but how could I resist that warm, juicy taste! This was … Continue reading On the vine
