A Beautiful evening

 What a beautiful evening! The lightening bugs are everywhere, temperature is perfect, low humidity and the moon is brightly shining. We didn't make a fire, but just lit our lantern and enjoyed it until just a few minutes ago. No mosquitoes yet, that is the best part!

 

Little Shop of Horrors plant decor

 I got an Audrey II for one of my plants!) (Little Shop of Horrors)How fun, wish it was bigger! There is a Medusa one I got to sell, may end up keeping it. They are just 2D flat picks, but I like them anyway. Hope everyone had a great day!

 

An evening with my co-workers and friends

 I had a lovely time with my friends and co-workers from our years at World Color Press in Salem.  What fun we had back then.  It's nice to still keep up with everyone and their lives.  We ate at the ABC Pub.   The place was very busy for a Thursday night.  People were playing pool, having a brew and dining with their families. It was karaoke night, but we didn't stay for that.  Back in the day we would have jumped at the chance to sing a tune.. Looking forward to seeing these ladies again next month!

Lady bug solar light

 I had better things to do, but instead I made this ladybug solar light out of a cracked flower pot. So far the raccoon has left the geraniums alone. This is all I have on my porch, but I bought a couple of plants for hummingbirds that I haven't repotted yet. Wish me luck! Hope everyone is having a good evening!

 

Chicken Gnocchi soup

 Well, I planned on buying plants today. I thought I could get them planted before the rain came, but...no! It's been raining since 9:30. We had 2" already about an hour ago. So, since I couldn't accomplish that, I made this Chicken Gnocchi soup and it is delicious. I didn't have any spinach or carrots, or half and half or thyme.so, I used green peppers, milk and dill. Anyway, it was supposed to be a copy cat recipe from Olive Garden...now I don't know what you'd call it, but it turned out fine!

 

 This guy has killed two bird families, tore the bird houses off of the posts, ripped up all of my tomato and pepper plants that were in pots and dug all of the dirt out of the pots, tore open a bag of soil i had on my front porch and scattered it everywhere, that is all in less than a week. The bluebirds and sparrows had babies just ready to fly, makes me so sad.. I know it is just the way nature works, but that doesn't mean i have to like it! So if anyone would like a pet raccoon, let me know....he's free of charge.

 

Just some dandelion seed heads in the late afternoon sun.

New facebook profile picture

 I just realized you can see my messy craft room in the background. I want you to know the rest of my house is not like that. 

 

Mother's Day sunset

 We had a beautiful sunset on this Mother's Day evening. Hope everyone had a great day!

Red Hat lunch

 Had lunch with my Red Hat sisters today! They are such fun and sweet ladies! Thank you Debi Champion for the lovely gifts of handmade soap and loofahs, so sorry you couldn't join us at the last minute. Hugs

Choose Joy

 I was always that girl who would be up very early at slumber parties, happy and chattering away, even though there had been very little slumbering going on. I remember one time someone said " Oh no! Sheila's awake!"Most of the time, I never even went to sleep...do girls still do this?

 

Fairy house bottle

 I started this last year, lost interest and just stored it away. The only thing I had done was glue the door and windows on, which I had moulds for. The rest i just did by hand. With modeling paste, paper clay and my trusty glue gun, I finished it today. I wanted lots of texture, kind of over did it, but, it was fun anyway!

 

Cindo de Mayo.

 

Sunday drive around the town

 We took a long Sunday drive, as old people do, and enjoyed this beautiful day. The wind was crazy wild though. It died down in the late afternoon, so we had a little fireside time. I hope you all had a great day!

 

Flowers for me!

 Bought myself some flowers today at our flower shop that just opened in town (Sparkling Blooms and Blessings)I went for the peonies, but came home with roses and irises too. So pretty! Made some more bread. I am baking it while it is cool and putting it in the freezer for later. Plan on making a couple more loaves. Hope you are all enjoying your day!
