Morning Sunshine

Good Evening Sweet Friends.

Yes I am still alive.

Yes I am still very busy.

Yes I still owe everyone some pics of goodies I am working on.

Right now, just a couple pictures

of the sunlight shining in our kitchen the other morning.

 





 

Then there was our little Ace who covered up his face

when I went to take his picture.

His way of telling me

"Geez mom, can I sleep?"

 

Sunlight Blessings To All!

My Favorite Colors

Good afternoon dear sweet friends.

I had every intention of doing a

July 4th post.

As you know, that did not happen.

Nor did I really get much decorating done.

 

Here is what little I did accomplish.

 

Preserve crock with this hand did I made.

 

 

Blue checked child's dress I hung on the front of my cabinet in bedroom.

Then I managed to do this little bit in our kitchen.

 

Hung a piece of a blue coverlet to my tobacco rack.

 



 

Added a few firkins (sap buckets) on a bench.

 

Grouped some bowls butter mold and sponge ware pitcher.

 

The bowl on the bottom is my newest one to my collection.

 

I loved the patina on this one so much that I could not sell it.

 

Same with the pitcher...just had to keep this too.

 

Shhh...Bob thinks I am just keeping them here to research them more.

 

So that was it.

Hosted a bbq at our house with friends.

Went to the fireworks in my mom's town the night after the 4th.
Its been HOT in our neck of the woods since then.

Here at the store today...wishing for rain.
Bob is at the riverfront in town
getting ready for our antique show on the river
which is tomorrow and Sunday.
He is the shows organizer
along with our Chamber of Commerce.
You can see Bob's interview on our local TV at the link below.
Just click onto the second interview from the top on the right for July 14th.

Afterwards he wanted to know if I wanted his autograph. LOL
That's my Bob.

Well that is what is going on in my neck of the woods for this weekend.
Working the store today and tomorrow.

Stay cool my friends!

 

Color Blessings To All!

Peek A Boo

Good afternoon sweet friends.

I know I have been MIA for quite sometime.

This Summer has just been so very busy for me.

I cannot keep up with everything.

 

Just wanted to pop in to say

PEEK A BOO!

Working on Halloween goodies for our upcoming Harvest At The Mill show

in Holly Michigan.

Some one of a kind items and much more,

including primitive antiques.

 

The temperature in my car leaving work today registered at 109 today.

UGH

Yesterday we ate pizza on our beach for dinner and jumped in the river.

Stayed there until it got dark.

It is so very hot its unbearable.

For those of you in the same boat,

hope we get cooler weather soon.

 

I promise to start blogging again real soon

and show pics of everything I am working on.

 

Summer Blessings To All!

An Evening On The Dock

Boy did we need this...

 

Good afternoon sweet dear friends.

I have been so sporadic lately and I do apologize.

These past few months have been real hectic for sure.

 

So hectic that the evening we spent on the dock was a much needed one.

 

Here are some pics from that evening.

Bob did a little fishing

and I just enjoyed watching the freighters go by.

 

 

 

The sun setting created many shades of pink to purple.

God has given us a beautiful setting for us to enjoy

here in our neck of the woods!

 



Then three days later,

we had tornadoes to the North of us,

with pouring rain and hail at our house.

The old adage it seems...

the calm before the storm.

 

Hope you enjoyed our little piece of heaven..

 

Dock Blessings To All!

Porch Time Sitting

Good evening sweet friends.

Temps here in our neck of the woods is more like Autumn.

Been reading your blogs, but not much time to comment.

Extremely busy and plus it was a

good time to redo our sad looking porch.

We had a half moon on the right side that had shrubs.

Red Snake shrubs...

actually they were red barberry shrubs,

but the snakes loved them.

The snakes used the thorns to shed their skin.

The original porch was 5 feet by 20 feet.

Our new one is 10 feet by 20 feet.

They raised the grade on the left for our steps.

All done!

Yipee!

Now we have to water it down for a few days.

Let it cure for a month.

Then add the railings.

Oh yeah, steps come in tomorrow.

We already have a cool rusty tin table and rattan chairs,

that are dying to come out of the garage.

Hey mom and dad.

Over here.

When do we get to come out and play?

Its been a busy week again.

Transplanting the shrubs we wanted to keep.

Discussing with the mason what we wanted.

The mason who did the job is Bob's cousin Jimmy.

Went to the zoo on Thursday with Mikayla's school.

Friday started weeding my flower beds.

What I found startled me a bit.
I blame missy Robin over at Cranky Crow.
She must have told them to leave Nod
and head to Michigan.
LOL  

Came across a baby fox snake

curled up into a ball.

 He was trying to bite as I was trying to gather him up.

I don't mind babies, but they grow up to big uns.

I took him over to the edge of the state land by our house

and let him go.

These snakes are protected in our state,

as the adults have a small rattle

and lots of folks killed them thinking they were

our native Massasauga Rattlesnake.

All I can say is what comes around 
goes around Robin...just kidding.

Front Porch Blessings To All!

Bedroom Randomness

Good morning sweet friends!

My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected

 by these terrible storms and tornados

that have hit the Midwest lately.

My niece is currently going to college in St. Louis,

and her aunt (me)

had to call my sister Friday night to find out if she was alright.

She is and did not even know there was a tornado warning out there.
All I can say about her not knowing is
KIDS

Today I just have some random bedroom shots.

Working on a new giveaway.

Stay tuned...

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Sunday Blessings To all!
