Outside
Brandon is Turning 30
I’m hoping that it will be nice out next weekend, because we’re having a party for Brandon’s birthday! I’d like to have our friends and family hang out in the backyard. I also want to set up a croquet course. :)
Folding tables and chairs are going to have to work hard to […]
Our Property
Our plot of land looks so loooooong. It’s 37′-6″ x 125″, and yes my drawing is to scale. :)
I did a bit of yard work during the day. My stepmom gave me four big yuccas and a bunch of orange daylillies. They aren’t my favorite plants, but they were free! […]
Still Thinking About Flowers

I love Dusty Miller. And how cute is it with these petite flowers at the local garden center?
I did buy some Asparagus Fern though, which is an annual here. I had […]

Any recommendations for good gardening books (or magazines or websites)? Should I be sticking to some […]

Careful attention had been paid to the packaging too.
Isn’t it lovely?
(Thanks again, […]
Home Cute Home

There are no bushes, no flowers, no landscaping of any kind. The only plant life out front was a little tree sapling. […]
No More Fluffs.
Wind + rain = no more fluffs.
The rod that I was using to hang them fell apart, and then the fluffs got wet. Dang.
The Front Porch
I’ve never had an outdoor space before, and of course that means I didnt have any outdoor furniture either. Well, except for this wicker chair which I bought years ago for some reason:
I love that this house has a front porch because I love the idea of sitting out there for lunch, or sipping […]
