Country Charm, Jump Starting Brain, Watercolors, Memories, Caterpillar and Paintings

Image
 The NEW me...lol I started lase Monday morn on the deck and tried to jump start the brain with coffee and  search a word! Not good at cross word puzzles but I love search a word.   I did some thank you cards for Julie, Vic and Mitzi for bringing the mower an  hour and 15 minutes down the  road to me.  Julie and James love their chickens so I did a dressed up  chicken for her. For Vic and Mitzi I did a donkey, they had two but recently losing one. But anyway, I water colored them a donkey on  their thank you card. This pic below came up on  my fb page, Theresa took this  when we went to a park for her to take pics of wild flowers for a brochure. This was ten yrs ago. Talking about memories,  who remembers this gum? I introduced the boys  to this gum. They had never had it before.  Again, talk about introducing the boys to something, the other day I introduced Braden AKA B to  a caterpillar. He had never seen one of these, let alone let it crawl up his arm. I sat out on the  deck Sunday

Plants, Bench, Trees, Storm Trooper, and the Eastern Tent Caterpillar.

Image
 I planted these seeds last  year, they were from seeds that I got at my friends moms, funeral, Beverly .. They did well last year and  seem to be coming back with a  bang this year. I have a massive amount of caterpillars like  this one around the house. Here are some other plants I had last yr.  Came back again. And my favorite one is my sedum. I think this is my reddish brown. This is a ground cover,  drop it on the ground, and  off it goes. That is why it is in a pot!! I have planted a lot of  seeds in the two beds that I made, can't wait to  see what comes up. Sunday, I got this put together. One of two I  have. My oldest brother gave these to me.  I think I told you that he has an inventory of this stuff from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It is a type of wood that is resistant to termites and rot for 75 yrs.  I put it together on the back  deck.... haha, but it needs to be on the front porch, and  it is way to heavy put  together so I need help moving it. Amber was here early and we b

TBI Cup, Crashing, Socks, Auger Bits, Critters, and Owning you Shit

Image
 Yay, another coffee mug. I knew I had this, I actually have two. One however is put  away along with a TBS mug.  I had this one at Photo Services,  but when I went back for the  going away party, I brought stuff  home, including the TBI cup. That is it, how many cups does one person need?? haha A view that is getting better and better by the day. This was taken a few days ago,  but since a few days of rain, it has gotten greener and  greener. I love it. I mowed on Friday,  weed eating did not get done. Was going to work on that Saturday but, I could not  get the darn weed eater started. Going today and purchase a battery one. That gas one is a pain and its heavy....so there! Saturday, after a couple of errands, I crashed. Crashed and curled up on  the glider, tv on, cats watching birds and I napped. Then I got up and went to the  couch and crashed. I did stop on one errand and  did some shopping. I will  NOT wear socks in spring and  summer but I did realize that I have a few worn out

Reuseable Plastic Containers

Image
Like I always do, I head to  PINTEREST when I want ideas for  projects. Saturday, I had a question~ DIY Projects for  Coffee Creamer Plastic Containers. Here is what I came up with,  which also sent me to uses for other plastic containers. I don't use the creamer that comes in clear containers, but you  could always lable them for  whatever you put in them. I like this idea  BUT I have a lot of ribbon! I see that thought in your head, the one that is saying, "of  course she does"!!!! One thing I have used the containers for in the past that I never found on PINTEREST is  for the kids. My grands seem to head out with my glasses, so  when they were younger I used to keep straws on hand, fill up a container with the drink of  choice, slap the lid on with  a straw and it don't matter if it don't get returned.  Make cookies to give to a friend, stack them in a creamer container.  I am a recycler to a point, and it bothers me to throw  glass jars, cans and plastic conta
