Up and Running!!

So, we found a lap top over the weekend that we really like! We are getting it figured out and some of the stuff transfered over from the old desktop. I am pretty sure i lost most of my pictures....ugh!! Oh well, so is life. I am hoping to get some pictures up loaded soon and share some fun things with you this week!

I'm going today to buy paint for the office!!! Yeah! Finally paint may make it on the walls!!

More on that soon I hope!!

Have a blessed week friends!!

I'm still here!!

I know I've been a stranger!!! Actually, my computer took a crap...to be blunt. I haven't had computer access since last week! Today I went to my brother and sister-in-law's and am on their computer. We have been shopping all day and NO ONE has computers!!! What in the world!! So bear with me while I'm off the grid!! I have several things I want to share!!

Until I get a new computer....

Things have been pretty busy around here. My Love has been working like crazy, which is a huge blessing! We are self employed so we depend on the Lord to provide plenty of work and He has! 

School is out so that means I have a little more time on my hands. Kinda...the grass is growing so fast with all this rain that I'm mowing a few times a week to keep up with it! I love this time of year...everything is green, the flowers are blooming and it is warm out! It has been in the upper 80's and low 90's this week. This is when I would love to have my own pool! Some day...

This morning my sister and her husband flew out to Washington  to go to the Farm Chicks Show!!! I'm so jealous! If you haven't heard of the Farm Chicks check it out. They have two books out that are lovely. 

Since she is out of town I have her kiddos for the next few days!! Along with their new Chocolate Lab puppy! So cute, it almost makes me want to get another puppy...almost.

Here is a little something I've been working on...

  Flower pins...sorry the picture is a little fuzzy. I have been playing around seeing what I come up with. I like making these because they are easy and quick. A fun little project!

Wordless Wednesday

Spring Cleaning.....Mudroom

I have been doing some spring cleaning this week. The kind where you pull everything out of a room and scrub it from top to bottom, including the tops of the baseboard with a toothbrush. I love it when it is all finished. Everything looks nice and shiny!

Here is a look at the mudroom with everything out of it...

This old pump is still connected to the cistern but it doesn't work. We just haven't cut it off yet...it's been 6 years now folks!

After I spent the better part of the day scrubbing this room down...it lives up to it's name thanks to my Lover....this is what I came up with.

 This little hen is a ring holder. At least that's what my mom always used it for. It sat on the window sill above the sink my whole child hood. That's usually where you'll find it at my house.

Now I need to buy some chalk to write a welcome message on the board!

See My Garden Grow

Here is the beginning of what I hope to be a fabulous garden season...

See the orange lines..that's my lover's obsessiveness for straight lines. He sets stakes and then pulls a line and measures the same distance between rows. Tape measure and all.

It does look pretty when little green stuff starts coming up in perfect rows!

Now I'm just waiting to see what happens!

There is now water standing in the garden. I'm hoping I don't lose what I put in already. I didn't put it all in due to the weather so we shall see. It's a roll of the dice around these parts when it comes to the weather.

Have you planted your garden yet?? Let me know!

Ruby Red

This is our Ruby...she's a Blood Hound...with long ears...long tongue...and lots of drool.

Ruby has this problem...her nose gets the best of her and she tends to take off wherever the sent may lead.

So, we have to keep Ruby tied up most the time. When we are out in the yard, I will take her for a walk, or rather she takes me for a walk....she weighs almost as much as I do. 

We tie her up close to us so she doesn't feel left out and so we don't have to chase her across tar-nation!!

Someday we will be able to afford to fence in our 5 acres and then she can run free! 

But anyways, isn't she cute!!
