JULY 4TH IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER SO I SPENT A LITTLE TIME ADDING RED, WHITE, AND BLUE TO THE FRONT PORCH! Can you believe June is almost over and we're headed into July? Here in Michigan June's been a cool wet month so I'm looking forward to July being a little nicer. Just yesterday I got outside and did a little July 4th Red, White, and Blue decorating on the front porch. Yesterday was my Mama in heavens birthday, it's the first birthday without her, and I'd decided I ... continue reading...
White Summer Snowflake Viburnum Flowering Shrub
I ALWYAS LOVE IT WHEN I PURCHASE A TREE OR SHRUB ON THE CLEARANCE RACK AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A SPETACULAR SHOW STOPPER LIKE THIS WHITE SUMMER SNOWFLAKE VIBURNUM FLOWERING SHRUB! Score! I picked up 3 of this White Summer Snowflake Viburnum from the clearance rack at Lowes a few years back. By the way this is how I normally pick new things for our landscaping. I hate to pay full price so I wait until everything is marked down in the fall and that dictates what plants are in our ... continue reading...
Radishes | The First Vegetable Ready In The Garden

Furniture Rearrange & New Area Rug
ADDING A NEW AREA RUG TO THE LIVING ROOM AND REARRANGING THE FURNITURE! I'VE HAD THIS RUG FOR A WHILE NOW AND FORGOT WHAT IT EVEN LOOKED LIKE SO IT WAS A SURPRISE ONCE I UNWRAPPED IT! Several months ago I ordered a new area rug from O.co and once it came it stood in the corner of the entryway for a long time. From there it moved to the corner in the guest room while I waited for the spring muddy season to pass. The rug hung around so long still in its package that I’d forgot what it ... continue reading...
Chicken Coop
MY FREE CHICKEN COOP HAS ARRIVED; SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WHAT PLANS I HAVE FOR IT! I have a chicken coop! I know it’s not exciting to everyone but I’ve been waiting for two years to get one and it was FREE. It couldn’t have worked out more perfectly. This coop is for meat chickens not laying hens. I already have a source for farm fresh eggs so I don’t even bother raising them myself but meat chickens are another thing. In past years I’ve raised our meat birds at ... continue reading...
