Under The Weather

 


I've been fighting a terrible 

case of chest congestion 

for a week now.

If you're a praying person

please add me to 

your prayer list.

Thank you,

Your blogging sister,

Happy 250th Birthday Banner

 



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I Love My Country!

Therefore; I'm celebrating her 

250th Birthday

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




Making a banner 
for the living room.





I'm still a fan of shabby 
imperfect perfection.




Todays post is 

going to be more about photos 

than words, 

with lots of photos :)



I've also been sewing up 

some new mug rugs, 

from small to large 

and all with a patriotic theme

and I've brought in some items 

from the barn and from storage. 

Enjoy the tour!












  








My old vintage typewriter.


I was delighted to find

this prayer spoken by

our first president

George Washington.

 

Pamela of 

Closed Doors, Open Windows

asked to have a tour

of my kitchen

so since I gave it a few

patriotic touches as well,

this is for you,

Pamela 😊




















this is my old fashioned

kitchen in my 

1905 home.


I hope that I didn't 

wear you out with this

extremely long post.


Thanks for visiting 

&

please let me know 

that you where here

I ❤️ reading your comments :)

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

A Walk Around The Garden



Welcome do my humble blog. 
I thought you might 
enjoy a walk around the garden
with me. 
💗
Before we begin, I would like to 
thank all of you for the sweet
comments on my repurposed
chandelier, from my last post.



I'm doing this post 
over my phone so 
I hope it turns out alright.

The day starts out 
with sheets on the line.


 
Followed by checking the garden for weeds 
and anything that needs watering. 
It's still very early in the season 
and I'm still waiting 
for some things to sprout.  






I can hardly do a post 
 without showing off my clematis, 
it's beautiful this year. 





My bridal veil is just starting to bloom.
I think it's called spirea, 
but I've always known it as bridal veil.




The chives are blooming.
After I took this photo 
I clipped all the blooms off
 so it wouldn't go to seed.
  


 
And of course the peonies
always steal the show.
It's too bad they don't Bloom longer. 




Chamomile is blooming. 
If you were here I'd bake a cake 
and make a pot of tea 🥰





A garden tour would not be complete 
without a photo of my helper 
and my doorbell sign. 
I love them both ♥️
 

🌷🌼🦋🐦🐝🌼🌷

Thanks so much for stopping by

and please leave a comment

I enjoy reading them so much.
