A GREAT LITTLE PATIO SALE...

Every spring I look forward to a great little patio sale...the lady that puts it on works all winter preparing for it.  She has all sorts of wonderful, creative, whimsical items, as well as great buys on potted plants and geraniums.  I picked up this 8-inch pot of oregano for $10...included the plant and pot.  I will definitely miss going to this little sale each year!

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE MOVING, I COULDN'T HELP IT...

Perennials coming up in back...pot of petunias, geraniams, and lobilia, the wine barrell, ivy and begonias, pink petunias, and johnny jumps on porch.  

LOVE those greens...

We came home from Boise to a square foot garden chock full of

wonderful produce.  From left to right:

Romaine lettuce, arugula, kale,and spinach...AWESOME!

I'm testing Mike's new Nikon D3000 that I gave him for Christmas!  I love my new print! I ordered it online.  It is printed in gold leaf on slate paper and I found the perfect frame with a gold leaf edge to match.  Love the little arrow on the "is".  Hope it looks nice in our new home!  Now if we can just sell this house!  If you look close you can see my pussy willows blooming outside...how did that tiny start grow into that enormous tree??? 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...

PRE-THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS SPIRIT...

I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but I just had to decorate one tiny corner and start the Christmas music...even though the house is for sale we may have one last Christmas here in this great house! I love my little cream and gold village.  I try to add something new to it each year...found two new trees today...the big one to the right behind the "JOY" and the sparkly tinsel one.
