Where Am I?

Wanna know where I've been lately and why my blog posts are so few and far between.

This is where I've been....

On my porch!!

Reclining in my outdoor Lazy Boy recliners (purchased at KMart)!


Planting new flowers, like my pink Lillies, in my border and moving others around, like my Day Lillies and my now dormant Daffodil.

Threading a bazillion straight pins in my little Better Homes and Gardens flag from Walmart. 

Yes, that's what I said, no need to reread.  LOL  Someone thought it was cute to steal my spring flag.  So, I thought grabbing my flag at night, full of straight pins would be fun too!  Yes I am crazy like that.  LOL  Don't steal from me and no one gets hurt. ;) 

Basically, I've been busy taking my home from looking like this when I bought it 2 years ago...


To this last summer....


To this so far this spring....


Basicallly...I've been busy people. :)

I've been taking this border which would never stay in place....


And have been putting in a paver border instead.




So, that's where I've been.

I hope you understand.

After a long, hot day, working in the sun...my porch calls to me to come sit and relax. :)



Pretty much, this sleeping face says it all. :)



Until next time,
Erin

  1. What a wonderful change, you should be very proud and happy! I love the red door, it adds just the perfect accent...the trim on my house is red too so maybe I am a bit partial. Enjoy your well earned bit of relaxation.

  8. oh my gosh, i love those recliners and those ferns! what a fabulous space you've made, i'd be out there, too. i had to laugh about the straight pins-we always talk about doing something like that to discourage anyone walking away with any more of my items. ignorant and selfish people really piss me off.
