Primitive Willow Tree Design

These willow trees draw on that symbolism to connect with our desires for good health, a strong family, and a happy home. I have become very enamored with this simple, wholesome design from nature. It just speaks to my maternal heart to create hearth and home. My den is becoming home to this wonderfully happy design and I find exceptional delight in thrifting around town adding to my collection!

Been Away from the Computer for a While

Wednesday the rains came, remnants of Fay. This picture was taken coming home from church that night.

Thursday morning was such a wonderful day enjoying the lazy rain. We got about 4 inches of slow drizzly rain.

It was totally refreshing! I could have had a few more days of it, but the Lord knows best! Do I dare share what I did Thursday morning? What we women endure for the sake of beauty! I debated whether to put this on Pink Saturday, but decided not to! HaaHaa! HeeHee!

Then I went over to visit with mom and dad and found him out tickering with his bird houses. Here he is sanding one he's promised Amanda-



By the lunchtime I was looking really cute with my new hair, so I decided to surprise my sweetie by stopping in at the office. He was busily cramming for a test that afternoon for the project management training he'd done that week.

So I spent the afternoon at the nurseries checking out trees to replace around our yard. I found a beautiful White King Hawthorn and a luscious deep read Crepe Myrtle there. This morning we found some 2 red maples and another white Myrtle. I know what we'll be doing Monday!

Enjoying My Little Piece of the World

The cool, rainy weather we have been enjoying the past few weeks has really made things grow around here. My dear husband, Lynn, took advantage of his day off to do some much needed pruning along the fence row!
