Scenes of Spring

Whatever is True
  Whatever is Noble
 Whatever is Right

Whatever is Pure
   Whatever is Lovely
   Whatever is Admirable
   Whatever is Excellent
or Praiseworthy 
     Think of these things...

These are spring pictures from last year. These are eggs from a Red Robin, the blue color is amazing!

    

The blue eggs hatched and these pretty little birds were born, the mother was so attentive, they grew so fast and flew the coop.

A gorgeous Peony! They bloomed so beautiful last year, I hope they will again this year.

Salvia and a gazing ball made from a bowling ball!

We planted these Hydrangeas last year, hope they come back. It will be interesting to see what color they come back  as.

Our neighbors have a Horse Ranch and they had lots of babies born last year.

Roses from my garden

Spring..Easter..All Things New

Happy Easter! Time to lighten things up with fresh food and touches of green all around.I sprinkled fresh chives on my deviled eggs, more green lol. also made a pretty tomatoe tart with fresh basil on top, again the theme is Green:) Although the brownie has no green at all, it is still keeping an Easter theme. I found this brownie recipe on My Sweet Savanna's blog. Cadbury Egg brownies. Yum..they really did taste like a cadbury easter egg. They are pretty decadent so you can't eat to many at a time. I tried:) Hope your day was filled with lots of food, family, friends and love.

Love your Laundry room

A laundry room is usually the place where piles of clothes wait patiently to be washed and dried and loved,  We can't wait to get it done and get out of there! Why not make it a place that makes you happy and want to wash everyone's clothes all the time. Seriously! Ok, maybe not that.. but I believe that you can make any place pretty and it doesn't have to cost you a ton of money. I know my laundry room is pretty big but believe me I haven't always had such a place. Because it is so big, I wanted to find a way to make it feel cozy and not so much like a laundromat. Most of the items in here I have either had already and repurposed them somehow or I found some treasure at GW. I got the these frames from a garage sale and painted them all black, then I found a botanical calender at GW, I cut out the flowers that I liked and used double sided tape to put them on the glass. I love how they fill up the wall space above washer and dryer. It really makes a statement but only cost me about $5.

See this wire basket! You would not believe that it used to be an old fryer basket!!! Bought at GW for $1. A few coats of red spray paint and I love how it turned out. Great for holding all our lovely magazines.

A sweet Valentine Vignette

 

I don't usually do much decorating for Valentines Day.This year because my son was coming home from Russia with his fiance Anna, and my oldest son and his girl Alexis are so in love..I felt compelled to make a little vignette. It was sweet and very thought provoking. It is true that our hearts have reasons of which there is no understanding. It just loves..that's all. Oh, and lets not forgot my husband of almost 25 yrs..I really love him too!
