Relaxing...

The past week has been near perfect around here.
Not too busy.  Not too noisy.
Just taking things one day, one moment at a time.
Perfect.

A trip to a couple of the local green houses/nurseries have us enjoying a few new plants and blooms.

I am doing my best to keep my maidenhair fern going.
So far so good.
I just love it's dainty little leaves.
 Glenn had to have some pretty clover.
He checks on them every afternoon when he comes home just to make sure they are still hanging in there.
Too funny!
 There are plenty of colorful blooms from our plants of many years.


 More yarn time has been happening as I have been enjoying the absolute gorgeous weather we have been having,
while sitting in full view of the gorgeous baskets that were acquired at Julie's shop again this year.


The girls are loving the brightly colored blooms they have picked out this year to take care of.  
 And then there was a fun day today spent with sweet friends as they came over for some help with altering a thrift store find
 into a very pretty dress for a local renaissance fair.
There are leftovers in the fridge and there is nothing else on the to-do list but work on more granny squares.
It's rough but someone has to deal with all this torture.

  1. Yes, the life! All of your flowers are so pretty. And I love the transitions made on the thrift store find. They have Renaissance festivals in Charlotte, NC every year, but I've never attended. It would be fun to go all dressed up.

    Look at you, with your granny square action going on. You just can't be stopped!

    Enjoy.

  3. Oh I love all your flowers, they're all so colorful. I love the dress, the colors are perfect. Near our old house in Illinois there was a renaissance fair and believe it or not I've never gone to it :(
