Self-Expression


A Saturday night thunderstorm ushered in cooler temps and clear skies.
Fall has arrived!


This weekend I finally had the opportunity to hang fairy lights 
on the gazebo...


and the swing.


They are all solar lights...so no use of outside power!
Now, the area around the barn and garden is a wonderland of fairy lights at night.
I love bringing a little magic into my world, and tiny fairy lights are just one way I do that.
Let's face it, the world needs all the magic we can bring to it!

Last week I received an email from a blog friend asking if I could replicate this apron
in a large size...


I drew a pattern this weekend and made the prototype.
It is made from the palest green linen.


It is big on me,
but would be perfect for someone with a larger frame.


My next attempt will be to make a smaller version.
Even a smaller version would fit most, as both sides close with ties.
The next try will be in pale pink linen, a little longer, and a little narrower.



I wanted to show you something I saw on the way to Tyler's soccer game on Saturday...


talk about self expression!
This is someone's garden in their front yard.
And although it might seem odd to you or me...
this obviously makes them happy, so....why not?

And while we are on the subject of self-expression...
watch and enjoy.
(Keep your eyes on #38)
I guarantee you won't make it to the end without a good hearty laugh!
You're welcome.



PS:  Is it any wonder that his coach calls him "Crazy Legs!"

Mommy pointed out we have real trees to climb so we didn't really need a cat tree and she wisely observed that if Mouse (Artemisia) keeps eating like a PIG she won't be able to wiggle out of Scylla's clutches much longer under the bedroom...

- When Everything Is Right With The World....
Perhaps it's because of the stretch of absolutely fabulous days.... where the sun shines brightly, but the air is soft and light and cool... where billowy white clouds float on a crystal clear sea of blue...where bees buzz happily from blossom to...

- Perspective
If you love taking photos,then you will agree with me that there is absolutely no lightso perfect as early morning. Once the sun has risen above the horizon,its rays are horizontal with the earth making colors the most vibrant. And so, with the greenest...

- Sunday Funday
(I stole the title of today's post from my son and daughter-in-law... it's what they call Sundays at their house, and it seemed fitting!) As predicted, it was a quiet, but lovely weekend on the farm.Aside from a couple of errands run on Saturday,...

- Garden Magic
Spring has arrived and once again my garden beckons to me.I have been preparing my garden boxes and planting some cool weather plants.Although, if the present weather trend continues,I'll be able to plant a whole lot more very soon! For now, though,...
