That time of year again!!!
Love it cause it means more time spent outside.
I transplanted some perennials yesterday afternoon and got all my tree fertilizer spikes in the ground.
Next 2 weeks we are having maple trees trimmed and a  dark gray steel roof put on our house. I will get before and after pictures taken for you soon. Lots of work outside getting ready for my LACASA GARDEN TOUR  Saturday July 9th. and Sunday 10th.
My garden pics last few years.
















~Happy Saturday~

What is it?





Purchased at an estate sale yesterday for 5.00.
It caught my eye because I love anything terra cotta.
It is only about 3 inches high, a sweet little piece.
Somewhere, sometime I have seen pieces like this with the same raised design . It also has green glaze on the inside, possibly a small flower vase?
I tried to research but not very successful. Is it that rare?
Your help would be appreciated!!!!!!

Enjoy todays beautiful Tuesday!

My clean kitchen...moved around primitive smalls

Took me 5 + hours but feels good to have clean everything and changed countertop smalls. That's what I love about primitives, move it around and it looks like all new treasures.










Think I will start in the family room now ;o)

Three great things happening this month!



Despite the inches of snow expected today I am a happy camper.....
starting my Spring house cleaning ( so I don't have to look at snowflakes) and 60's heading in next week so forget the housework because I will be OUTSIDE!
When I was in Florida I bought a flat of violas so can't wait to get those in a planter near the driveway to make everyone smile.
Love have longer hours of sunlight too.
Better get busy, I hope you have a great day friends!!!!!

Back from Florida last night!

Norm and I spent 2 full weeks in Niceville Florida and had a good time with warm great weather except rain one day! Not bad hey, we timed that just right with weather that was here in Michigan.
We stayed at an Airbnb for the first time, first time I ever heard of it until I googled places to stay in Niceville and several popped up.
That will be another post later but I had to show these pictures from the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky. We spent the night in this town on the way down and always have to visit here.
Remember 2 years ago when a sinkhole took over part of it? Check this out.....they retrieved all the cars, but 2, I think?







 This yellow dome was a re-enactment 
of the floor falling in from the cave with sound effects, no thanks, walked right out but Norm thought it was cool.
 No way did I look down here!

Now my question was, too afraid to ask, why in the world would you build on top of a cave?
You can also watch a video when it started to the end. They have video cameras running 24/7 in the building and it was seen that day it happened. Amazing  and scary to watch.

So glad to be home now.
Try to catch up today on everything.
Have a wonderful day!!!
