My 

for a wonderful 4th of July.

The latest addition for my Wizard of Oz garden.  I purchased this glass shoe planter on Ebay last week.  I may have to buy one more to make a set for Dorothy.

Blue Monday - Way - Truth and Life

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/

Today I'm sharing a blue cross that hangs above my computer where I blog everyday.  My sister Lori gave this to me last year. 

Seems so appropriate today for Sally who is in ICU and a dear friends daughter at our church that I have shared about on Spiritual Sunday, Anna (6 yrs) who has brain cancer and is currently in a coma.

We are leaning on the "Everlasting Arms" today.

  Thank you Jenna and Ara for keeping us informed about your grandma.  Blessings to all my Blue Monday blogging friends.

Pink Saturday

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog

Sending pink kisses to all of my Pink Saturday friends today!!!!!

Just a little history on the X's used for kisses. During Medeival ages, a cross was drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity and honesty.  A KISS was then placed on the upon thre cross by the signer  to display their sworn oath. It has gradually become a symbol for love and people still draw in on their cards and letters.


I have a few different pinks for today.

First my 9 yr. old grand made a pillow for Papaw for him to use in his easy chair. She used the sewing machine and stuffed the pillow with pillow foam.  Very summery and PINK.

Our girls enjoying the beautiful 70 degree weather this past week (very unseasonal).

We are currently working on our new deck and the mild weather has been so wonderful to work in.

I love the way the stem grows on this Clome plant don't you?

HAVE A PINKALICIOUS DAY.

Pink Saturday - Day for a summer movie

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog
Having fun this summer (just a few more days until it's officially summer).  Today my granddaughters and daughter and I  had some fun going to a movie.

We took the girls to see "Judy Moody, And The Not Bummer Summer".  SO CUTE.  I bought my grands the  book series this last year and they love Judy--what a character she is.

Judy is a 3rd grader and our girls around the same age.  Judy wears high top tennis shoes and so do we!

If you want a really cute movie for your kids or grandkids you must go see it.

Hope all is fun around your neck of the woods!!!!!!

Showing my purchases from a wonderful garage sale last weekend.  The homeowner was a vintage collector like me and was cleaning out!!!

Three tier plant stand 3.00

Vintage HEAVY occasional fold up metal table 5.00

Vintage garden woodworking book 1.00

Old stove insert 2.00

3 ceramic bugs for garden .25 cents each

Mason jar with wire ring still attached .50

Using this to plant annuals

The woodworking book had so many neat projects:

The owner also had clipped newspaper articles on projects from the 50's and 60's and they were still in the book.

Love this chair.

The metal table also has a bamboo top-will be great on my new deck.

Happy hunting.

Outdoor Wednesday

http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/
We are doing major work to our back yard.  We are putting on an L-shape deck across the back of the house--going from the sunroom.  We are using Trex-lumber---I'm so excited. 

So part of the gardens are not getting the attention they deserve this spring.  My hubby has been laying pipe to all of my gardens and putting in faucets in each garden so I don't have to drag a hose around the yard.

My tomatoes however are doing good this year, I have three kinds planted.

We don't usually get tomatoes here in Kansas until about Aug. 15th.  I can hardly wait so I can make BLT's.

I purchased this metal plant stand at a garage sale last week for $5.00.  Holds  mint, sweet basil and some marigolds.

  The foundation posts are showing for the new deck.  After it is on, I will be doing major landscaping.

Hope you are enjoying your spring and it's not too hot where you live.


Happy Outdoor Wednesday
