This past week, I managed to eek out a bit of time for some creative fun, and stamped a few more cards for the boutique. I think I'll stop at 30 to have for sale. The great thing is if they don't sell, I'll have them to use myself. I love this sentiment! Two more …

April in the Garden
The garden is still gearing up, with some things finishing their blooming cycle and others are just getting started. I still haven't bought the forsythia I want for the circle island, and now it may once again be too late. I need to figure that out this week. This is a photo of one from …
Sunday Chat and Springtime Tablescape
Now that I finished the little table topper in yellow and grey, I wanted to set a pretty springtime table with it. I pulled out yellow chargers and my favorite yellow salad plates. They are called Chloe, and I got them from Pier 1 years ago. I start with putting the table topper at an …

The peach trees we saw in South Carolina last week got damaged by the frost on Monday night. A report on the news said that only time will tell how much damage there is this year, but it comes on the heels of a 90% loss in peaches last year from a similar late freeze. …
Sunday Chat – Peach Blossoms
The week we had a great day to do a drive down to South Carolina to see the peach trees in bloom. They bloom in mid-March most years, with some varieties blooming a bit later. The day was supposed to be warm enough to put the top down on the roadster, and we met up …

Sunday Chat
Chester made a couple of appearances over the past couple of weeks. He doesn't always stay around to get his picture taken, but this day he must have been really hungry as he was on the veranda trying to beg a treat. I'm delighted when he stops by, and wish he'd come more often. In …

I am fascinated by fog. It brings a stillness and quiet that has such an ethereal quality. We had a couple of mornings with fog followed by a rainy afternoon, perfect to hunker down and do some sewing and stamping. On this early morning, the fog is so thick that the next house down the …
Safelight Project 2024 Update
The Safelight Project made great headway in the past two weeks, as case sets started coming in, and checks arrived. I was stunned at the amounts on several of them, in the hundreds of dollars! So much so that I can announce that we have exceeded our financial goal!! To say thank you seems so …

It has been bitterly cold this past week, and the birds are stuffing their beaks to get enough energy to keep warm. Of course, this means the feeder empties out quickly on some days. We have a pair of hairy woodpeckers that live here year round. Here the female hangs off the bottom of the …
