In Bloom~

Spring is such a beautiful season. New growth is beginning to show up in places we haven't seen in a while. You can always tell that Spring is arriving soon because of all the blooming going on. For instance, plants that normally have leaves but pretty flowers pop out first. That's what our peach tree is doing, it's blooming...I didn't know it bloomed such pretty flowers first before it got it's leaves. Too bad it can't stay that way!

We've only been in this house since July and I haven't gotten acquainted with the plants in my backyard yet. What with the scorching hot sun in summer then the winter months being too cold...Oh! I'm not gonna lie to ya, I'm just not a gardening kinda gal! Don't get me wrong I love live plants...that's just it, I like them alive! I don't have much of a green thumb so I could use some pointers if anyone would like to give me any. Does anyone out there in blogland know of any plant that would be my kinda plant? You know...the kind that I won't kill!

Oh! And if anyone has a wonderful peach cobbler recipe, send it my way o.k....my husband "loves" to cook! BTW, I'm not a very good cook either.


Ya'll have a wonderful evening~

Made With Love~

I know it's been awhile since my last post, I've just been soooo busy, but you understand that! I hope everyone's Christmas went well and that ya'll got everything ya'll wanted. My family and I had a wonderful Holiday and I'm so looking forward to a little rest and relaxation this coming week...yeah right!


I wanted to share an especially special gift that my husband gave me for Christmas.
This beautiful wheelbarrow cart.
Imagine my surprise!!!
I bought the base (wheel and handles) at a local antique shop and as he was unloading it from my car he asked, "what are you gonna do with this"? I said...(of course) "I want you to put together some kind of a wheelbarrow cart for me in your spare time"...ha!ha!
Well as I would never have expected, he had this wonderful gift waiting for me on Christmas morning...what a treat!
He really is a sweetheart and I know that it was made with love from him to me!
Hugz and Blessings,
Lisa
