It’s Fall in the Back Yard

On November 28, 2022December 2, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard6 Comments

Actually I guess it’s really winter, but hey. Sometimes you just have to go outside and take pictures of your yard, if only for the proverbial “blog material”. There are leaves everywhere. The last time the gardeners were here, I had forgotten to unlock my back gate, so they weren't able to get any of …

Gems on the Driveway

On March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Mosaics12 Comments

Did you ever notice how plain your driveway looks? Don't you think it could use some decorations? Or am I the only one who thinks like that? Well, if you have the mosaic supplies, what doth hinder you? It all started out innocently enough. I thought it would be fun to put little mosaic flowers …

A “Draining” Experience

On March 7, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

So. When a "certain cat" drops your bobby pins down the sink... I guess I should have known this was coming. It all started in October of 2017 when I decided to replace the faucet in the bathroom sink. This is not, however, to be confused with the new sink in the guest bathroom, which …

Blog Material

On January 18, 2022January 22, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

One thing about it, there’s always blog material. Just like germs, (with thanks to the wisdom of a seventh grader from days gone by), there’s blog material everywhere. With that in mind, I went out in the back yard to check the plants. Since it had been raining the previous week, everything was nice and …

Asleep in the Sewing Room, Part 2

On December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

So we got this box... Mom said it was a loveseat for the sewing room. I examined it from all angles, and I honestly didn't think she was right this time. Every now and then something gets delivered and she's forgotten what she ordered. I watched with interest as she started unpacking the box. I …

That Sinking Feeling

On October 3, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard14 Comments

The cold water in the guest bathroom sink hadn't worked for at least 23 years. Only the hot water worked. Which was fine, as long as we told the guests to wash their hands quickly while the "hot" water was still "cold" enough to do so comfortably. With the hot water heater located only a …

How to Make Your Own Rocks

On September 2, 2021September 2, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Uncategorized10 Comments

"Just add water!" So, if you've read "Just Add Water" (part 1) you know that it's easy to make your own cement. It comes in very handy for making cement spheres, which can then be painted and used as yard art. (Actually you don't want to know the story behind this "easy DIY" Pinterest project.) …

Just Add Water, Part 4

On June 12, 2021June 12, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard7 Comments

It has occurred to me since I wrote "Just Add Water", Parts 1, 2, and 3, (which mainly focused on my "garden sphere experiments"), that this title would work just as well for a post about the back yard plants. Yes, I have realized that if you want plants to grow properly, you have to …

I Found a Tree (Again)

On April 28, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard5 Comments

If you've read "I Found a Tree", you'll recognize this picture. It's the bottlebrush tree that has been in my yard since 1992. It's the same tree, you remember, that was overtaken by volunteer bushes, which turned into trees under our very noses. For more info on this, see "A Bush Grows in Fresno". So …

Purple Flowers and More

On March 20, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard12 Comments

I really wasn't in the mood to go outside. But I'm glad I did anyway. It was sunny after a day or two of rain, and I thought some Vitamin D was in order. I brought my phone out with me in case I saw anything I would want a picture of. Imagine my delight …
