Hint for Lamp Shades, Flowers, Cow, Deck, Cards, Shed and March

Either a pleated

or a flat lampshade, they

collect dust.  

All you need is a cleaning brush.

Take the shade off,

step to the porch and 

take a brush to the shade.

BYE

                 BYE    

                            DUST!

Then, stand back from the shade 

and spray with fabric

air freshener.

ot only is it 

clean of dust, it smell

GOOD!

If you did not know this 

about me, then let me share...

I have to have flowers in my 

yard. I debated and debated

doing flowerbeds at the new 

place.

Almost decided against it,

cause last yr my beds were

a disaster, but then I took

into consideration that I 

was sick the first nine months of

last year. 

SO.....with that said, 

I have not actually made a 

flowerbed, but I have started on 

plants. 

I planted daffodils along

side of my sidewalk.

 

 And Hyacinth in a couple

of pots.

I have also purchased

some ever green bushes 

that I am going to plant

up near the road to block some 

of the traffic coming and going.

Planting, needs to happen now!

Out and about the other

day and I saw some

buzzards lurking around, 

and a cow just standing 

on the other side of the 

fencing, watching!

It was cute....except for 

the buzzards.

The boys came over last

weekend and moved stuff on the 

deck that needed to go to 

the shed, to the shed. 

I finally got around to 

apply a lock to it so things

 needed to move!

With that being done, I 

decided to make my comfy 

place on the deck.

I moved the tv and the stand

out there.

Love that the deck is 

protected by the house and 

the rain and stuff barely comes

in.

I hung some lace curtains 

I decided would not 

be using in the house. I did not 

want to venture out for 

curtain rods so I 

hung them on pieces 

of the tree that had fallen 

in the woods. 

I tied them back later

in the day.

Added some decor to the

tv stand. 

A throw over the 

chair.

Since the deck is long and narrow,

it is a challenge to 

do decorating 

of it. 

But I decided I needed

the sitting area, and it had

to be right out the

kitchen door so the tv would

be protected by the house.

The next area down from 

it will be a table and chairs...

then I still have some room to 

play with.

When Julie had a going

away for me at the venue, 

Emily and her adorable

family made me a card.

I thought it was to cute

not to have out, so I 

hung it.

Right under my 

protecting cross stitch 

piece.

Also, a couple years ago,

after sending a card to a friends

hub that was fighting cancer, 

I got a card from her, 

one she had printed of 

pics of birds she had taken.

I had it standing on a shelve 

in my other kitchen but

I decided to frame and hang

it also. 

I had lunch with Theresa last

weekend. She hand delivered

my Bday card. She did not want

it to be crushed in the mail. 

It also needed to hang!

I love these cards, they

came from the heart of the person

that gave them to me, and 

I wanted to see them daily.

It's done, except for painting 

on a bird, then I 

will seal it.

What do you think?

I love it!

Since I started it in the winter,

I painted that first, and went from 

there.

Today, as I write this it 

is March 1st,

What is the saying, March 

comes in like a lion, goes

out like a lamb?

Guessing we will need to see

how it goes out but it came

in somewhat like a lion,

turned off cold again and 

rainy. 

The good thing about 

March

brings us closer to 

the clocks being turned 

forward and the days 

longer!

Happiest March 1st,

hoping your month came in 

nicely,

Pam
