My Garden Ball

My son, Mark, gave this garden ball to me about 10 years ago for Mother's Day. I treasure it! I take it in the house every year and put it in the spare bedroom once fall begins so it doesn't crack or break once it starts getting cold. Today I put it back outside which is where it will stay till fall. The small navy pot was a gift from my daughter, Sara, for the sweetest reason. I was just having a horrible day and the next day she came over with this pot planted with annuals. I love gifts that keep forever and every time you see them - they remind you of the kindness and love that came with the gift. I think everyone should have a daughter...

My Wisteria has finally started blooming

Look! It means Spring has arrived! My friend, Robin, in Florida, has had wonderful Wisteria blooms for over a month now. Mine is just starting to blossom. The smell is soooo sweet!

Tony the Tiger

I love it when you get cool freebies at the grocer's! Kelloggs is having a free giveaway - if you buy two boxes of any of their cereals - you get a grocery bag you can recycle again and again! Could not pass that up!

Breakfast of Champions!

Here is what I have every morning for breakfast - Frosted Mini Wheats and coffee. It is so wonderful to live out here in the Northwest - we have such talented people. My cereal bowl and coffee cup is made of pottery from a local artist. I love birds! When I ran to the grocer the other day, they had Iris's for sale - my favorite - so I had to add them to the pic. I love whoever thought up blogland!

Happy Easter everyone!

Bella the goat!

Does anyone else out there have a dog that eats, literally, everything? She is still a puppy, but she is getting expensive. We grabbed this out of her mouth yesterday.... on Thursday she ate part of our darling daughter-in-law's shoe - costs us $60 at Nordstrom's rack to replace. At least this little onesie will only be about $7.50. Bella is faster than a speeding bullet! We think she is part goat. She is 8 months old - so we are hoping by the time she is 1 year old she will calm down a bit.

Neice's quilt

Since I have my tv to keep me company... I almost have Baby Boy Kyle's quilt finished... I'm still deciding whether to put a border on it or not... what do you think?

Mr. Sony

I know, can you believe I have a 40 inch Sony LCD in my sewing room? I told my hubby all I need now is to bring up my coffee maker and I would never have to leave the upstairs!
