Take It Outside...

I would love to do this for Thanksgiving.  Set a lovely table outside for dinner.  But I can already hear two of our guests complaining loudly about being cold.

Dogs and their Child...


Every child should know the love of a dog
and vice versa

The Fall Flower...


Chrysanthemums are just starting to open,
 showing their beautiful colors...
Lovely, lovely shades of Autumn.

Toastie Toes...


 Cool days and even cooler nights have arrived...
Autumn is just around the corner...
It's almost sock time.

Adding Autumn...


Thinking I'd like to do a bit of decorating for Fall...a little more than plunking down a pumpkin or two by the front door.  Bittersweet, pumpkins and gourds may be just the way to go.  A trip to the local cider mill farm is definitely in my future for the weekend.

Crazy About The Porch...


Porches are one of life's simple pleasures...
Hoping you get a chance to spend some time porch sitting this end to the summer weekend.

Flowers on the Stairs...

Stone steps and flowers in purples...
what a lovely combination.

Wrap a page...

cowparsley.com 

What a sweet idea...take a page from an old book, wrap it around a tin can and tie with a ribbon.  Can be used as a vase for cut flowers or an inexpensive way to
decorate a plant to give as a gift

Porch Swings


I am loving the porch swings I am seeing on Pinterest... My parents had one on the front porch of their house, much like the one in the photo.  I spent many afternoons on that porch, on that swing.   There are some others I've seen that look like hanging beds with a covered cushion and lots of pillows. For one of those however, I would need a much larger porch!  

I am thinking of adding white curtains to my side porch to filter sunlight in the afternoon.

The Simple Daisy


 I have always loved daisies.  My bridal bouquet was made up of daisies and yellow roses. (that was many years ago)
He loves me...He loves me not...He loves me



A simple wreath...fresh as a daisy.

“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it's scent nor the daisy of its simple charm."

Baby Ballerina...


Remembering when my daughters took dance classes
and dressed in little pink tutus...


and sweet pink ballerina shoes...
