What is it about warmer temperatures that make me want a table full of yellow? Is it the sunshine? Maybe. But whatever the cause, it made me smile to bring out the yellow dishes and chargers to create a fresh table for spring meals. The salad plates are called Chloe and they came from Pier …
Safelight Project Final Delivery
When I started this project in 2017, I never envisioned it would grow as it has. It went from an initial delivery of smaller bags with just a few items, to larger bags with more items and handmade case sets and cards. Deliveries increased to several a year! Readers have generously given so much of …

Garden, Drive and Scraps
Spring finally seems to be here. I know that our last frost date averages April 15, but it always seems to take its sweet time. I showed some of the azaleas before, and now the prettiest pink one has bloomed. The deer stopped by one morning. Three were grazing in the meadow. This one was …

Welcome Spring
Oh, finally, some days warm enough to run around in my roadster with the top down! Now that I am feeling better, it is lovely to have the trees leafing out and my azaleas blooming. I adore white flowers, and these are pristine this year. They had not formed buds when we had our last …
Just to Let You Know
I wanted to start today's post with a lovely photo of my bleeding heart which has begun blooming. The delicate pink flowers are coming out in a plume of blooms. I want to let everyone know that I will be taking some time off of blogging due to a health matter. I have an infection …
