I have been waiting for a morning like this for a long, long, long time...

I am really starting to like this part of the yard...

and I really had a brainy idea out here this morning...

change out the new bricks for older ones from other beds...

and instead of red pavers...

I am thinking tan to match the pit...

what do you think?...

about 5PM, cover your ears...

I'm gonna lay on dh...

there could be a loud moan...

had to make a little corner here...

but it worked out...

I know you are all getting sick of my rose of sharon...

but this shot was cool...

and I'm going to be shooting the morning glories until they are gone...

just because I like them...

weeds are pretty too...

and if size has anything to do with it...

here's some big ones...

weeds and old corn stalks from last year...

the weeds are winning again...

Daphne always smells the bloomers...

coming up the steps...

one step closer to the computer and blog world...

when I got up this morning it was 63F !...

it's only 75F now...

with the most fantastic little breeze going on...

did I ever tell you that I like wind?...

it makes the flowers dance...

and it's God waving to us with the leaves on the trees...

my momma told me when I was little that God was like the wind...

you can't see him...

but you can sure feel him and that's how you know he's there...

I have loved the wind ever since...

I hope your flowers dance today and the trees are waving!...

Blue Monday

here are some more of my collages that I make...

I like old images and vintage wall papers and post cards...

I just combine them...

print them...

frame them...

and sell them...

Happy Blue Monday!

for more blues...

Have you ever had one of those days?...

my husband and his cousin, in from Topeka, this evening...

he rides a harley...

cheaper on gas...

and we had a nice visit...

the day started off pretty good...

then my hubby and I hear a noise...

couldn't figure it out right away...

weird noise...

so the morning goes on and we finally figure out the hot water heater isn't working...

my son got a shower...

but hubby and I needed one bad...

figures...

so I put in a desperate call to a friend...

I need her hubby to get with mine to check this out...

meanwhile, I'm online trying to find the best/ cheapest one I can find...

asap...

sticker shock is putting it mildly...

haven't bought one in years!...

yeah...

so my friends come right after lunch...

heating element...

we have about half of the water we used to for now...

we got showers!...

it's up and running, sort of...

my son will pick up the heating element tomorrow at the hardware store...

and friend will be back later this week to put it in...

in the meantime...

(did I mention said water heater is in our closet???)

while half of the stuff is out of the closet and laying on our bed...

my dh pulls the rest out and we clean and purge...

major purge...

like one very large rolling garbage can size...

plus two bags...

I had clothes over 16 years old in there...

shameful, I know...

but it's gone...

I really was a good girl and let go of so much...

there are tubs in the living room...

beside the bed...

waiting...

oh yeah, right before he comes back...

we have to drain the water heater...

hose from the heater to the toilet will work...

that's going to be fun...

I have carpet in the bedroom and my bathroom...

dumb...

I know...

will not do that again!...

so...it's been a day...

but I did get my nap in...

and our cold front came through!!!!...

71F right  now...

Prior Lives Party...

re-purposed glazed blocks from a house down the street and an old broken porch swing....

the fire pit is just the blocks stacked up...

the bench is 4 of the blocks and the seat and back of the porch swing...

cost- $0

the fencing was free, too...

neighbor was going to burn it...

and they didn't wind up in the dump...
