The Simple Life






Do you remember 

when every backyard had a clothesline . . .

and laundry day smelled like sunshine?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻




I'm an old soul . . .

that has always been drawn to the

simple pleasures in life.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻




Sitting on the porch.




A glass of cold lemonade.






A fresh bouquet picked from the garden.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻


The song of a bird.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

 



Give me the simple pleasures

in life . . .

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻





Relaxing in the evening

with a good book 

or an old movie . . .

feet up, dog beside me,

minding my own business.

Tell me, what is better than that?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻




(That's the good life:)

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

DO NOT

WORRY

about anything,

PRAY

about

EVERYTHING


PHILIPPIANS 4:6

So I leave you with this . . .
don't get caught up in the
hustle and bustle of this world.

Relax and let God take care of you.


Until by next post . . .
God bless you & keep you.

Sewing and Spring Process

 



John Wayne to the recue . . .
choosing fabric for a 
baby boy quilt.


 
I'm using the small squares
for the middle and this
for the boarder. 


 My brother-in-law
picked two hog panels
up for me at the farm store
and helped me set them up
between the poles that 
I stalled. 
I could never have stool 
them up on my own.



I'm planning on planting
green beans on this one.


 Then planting cucumbers
on this one.

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Besides getting this done,
I've been trimming, 
mowing and cleaning up
from last year's mess . . .
slowly making progress
for this years planting.

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

It's a lot of work,
but it's also 
very enjoyable . . .
I love getting my hands
dirty in the warm 
spring soil. 

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Until the next post
I'll just say . . .
God Bless You All
and have a lovely week.

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

Putting On The Green ☘️

  



I've stopped my pink floral sewing 

to make a few 

March decorations.

☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️



 I thought it might be fun 

to do a little bit of decorating 

for St. Patty's Day 

and add a little green 

to the living room.



☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️


☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️



 I have 12 to 14 ladies 

at my house every Friday 

so it's nice to have coasters made 

and things sitting around 

that are seasonal.




 If I continue doing this, 

one of these days 

I'll have a box full 

of all different seasonal 

coasters, mug rugs and 

little decorations that 

I can put out each year.




☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ 

I hope you enjoy the post 

and that it inspires you to 

add a little green 

to your house this month.




☘️☘️☘️

May the road rise up to meet you, 

May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm up on your face, 
The rain falls soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again, 
May God hold you in the palm of his hands. 

☘️☘️☘️
God bless you all. 
You're blogging sister,
