Improvements...

after visiting Debbie at the Lakehouse and seeing her tinted angel statue...
I grabbed a bottle of paint, a glass of water and a brush...
and I blue washed my little girl...
I love her!
and we moved her out from under the bush...
the azalea is blooming now...
and growing...
and it has finally come back full from the flood...
I almost lost it...
and everything was so pretty working out here today...
and we had a butterfly come to visit...
a beautiful swallowtail...
this is what we have been working on for the last 2 days...
this is where the loungers were...
and we took down both fire pits to make one...
after we have another good rain...
it will all settle and then we will go back and level it all up...
and this is where the fire pit was...
there is more shade here...
so it made sense that we move the loungers so they are in the shade most of the time...
because we don't need the shade at night when we have a sit around the fire pit...
Sherry from Country Wings in Phoenix gave me the idea of using burlap, but instead of using it in the old chair, I'm going to use it in my little wagon...
and then it will be full of flowers, too...
the old chair that was the bird bath, for those of you who have followed me for awhile, was so brittle...
when we tried to take it apart to use for a trellis...
the legs just snapped like match sticks...
so hanging behind the bench is what I could save...
and we blue washed it, too, while we were at it...
I am so tired...
we had farmer's pie for supper and I took a nap and still am wiped out...
hurt all over...
and I took the last dose of medicine last night- yippee!
but still have a bad tummy today...
it got almost to 90 and not used to the heat yet...
not after having a high of 63 last week!
so, enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a great night....

Take a moment...

to honor...
to thank...
to say a prayer...
to shed a tear...
to be grateful...
and to remember...
that freedom isn't free...
