I knew my front step wasn't finished... It just seemed like it needed something more, so I decided to make a mosaic "welcome mat". I love being able to "mark up" photos to get ideas for how something might look. Here I was experimenting with the flower idea. Finally I was done, and laid it …
The other day I found the photos of our bathroom remodel of 2003. One of the things we did was to have a sliding door put in the wall between our room and the bathroom. And, no, we did not do this by ourselves. It was actually done by a friend who knows how to …
"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …
You might remember... That ever since I was little, I have helped Mom paint. The first thing she painted after I came to live with her was the "Talavera Kitchen". That was when I discovered my natural artistic talent. It was also when I discovered the step stool, which enabled me to get into the …
"Dude, have you seen Mom's desk lately?" Foster's words woke me up from a sound sleep. We were in the front living room, where we had been helping Mom go through some family history information earlier in the day. "Not recently," I replied. "I can't see the top of the desk unless somebody puts me …
"Consider the lilies of the field..." Or, in my case, the succulents of the back yard! The message of these words, as most of you know, is that we should trust God to take care of us, and not stress over the future. I realize that in the day we are living in, that may …
Since it was so pretty outside today... I decided to go walk around in my "whimsical" back yard. This time I thought it would be fun not only to share the garden's progress with you, but also to try and get photos from perspectives I may not have considered before.So I got some close-ups. You …
Once there was a guest room... And because there were grandchildren, there were bunk beds.And because there was a cat, there was always someone to get up on the top bunk when the grandchildren weren't over. But then a queen size bed was added to the guest room. This did pose a few challenges, not …
Or maybe I mean "A Sticker-y Situation"... Because while cactus thorns can stick you I guess they aren't technically stick-y. But anyway. We can do an English lesson on that another day. Right now I'm just worried about whether to say "cactus" or "cacti" or even "cactuses" while writing this post.In "Here is Yard Art", …
First let me say... I did not purchase the above plant. I took the picture merely to show the price, which you really can't see after all. But it was something like $79.99.Suffice it to say, I have my own. I actually think it originally came from Grandma Tracy's house, and it seems like it's …
