Flowers and Cows and Worms – Oh My!


My father-in-law has said that I make things more complicated than they need to be.

Well…

Sometimes I guess I do.

Like when it comes to our yard…

It takes me days to “decorate” our yard and my gardens every year.  It’s ever evolving in a manner of speaking…new junk = new garden decor.  Remember the old saying:  ‘Your garbage may be someone else’s treasure’?

Antiquing, Vintaging, and Consignment Shopping!


Wahoooooooooo!

It’s been a day of fun for me and two of my girls…and Tim and Tom!

What was on the agenda, you ask? Read more

To almost choking to death in the process! Read more

Flowers Soothe the Soul…


We’ve had some pretty weird weather here in northern Minnesota…

It seems as though my flowers are as confused as we are.

Not that I’m complaining – you see it has somehow made my tulips so confused that they’ve been blooming for almost two weeks!

Just take a peek! Read more
