I have been dying to get this porch here at the cottage decorated for winter.  A few weeks ago, I shared my DIY evergreen pots with you, but the porch was at a stand still.  I wasn’t inspired because the set of cabinets that I had on each side of the door needed work.  I […]

I shared this DIY evergreen planter idea over on social media stories, and I even made a reel about it.  If you missed it, check it out.  I have been making these evergreen planters for years.  They really help with my winter sourness. ????  I shared how I feel during the winter months in a […]

For the last few weeks, I have been taking you a walk around the woods.  There are so many beautiful things in nature and just general every day things that make me happy.  Plus, I think it would be fun to document all of the changes each season. I take tons of photos when I […]

Last week, I shared that I have so many pretty pictures on my phone.  Because it is always with me, I am always ready for photos ops.   The picture above is one that I snapped on the way back from the mailbox one morning when the fog was almost lifted.  It was really pretty out […]

Deb and I shared this DIY sidewalk by the cottage over on social media several weeks ago.  It wasn’t until now that I had time to share it here.  I have stated before that we want everything to look like it’s been here forever – including little things like sidewalks.  We love to use items […]

We recently had a pond dug on the property.  It is very small but it serves the purpose that we wanted it for.  It takes up space so Deb doesn’t have to mow so much grass.  ????  It gives us a great watering hole to jump into when we are working outside sweating our butts […]

We spend every waking moment outside.  That is, of course, when we can.   I grew up in Indiana and Deb grew up in Ohio.  But we were only 15-20 minutes from each other. I tell you this because people get confused because I’ve talked about Indiana and Ohio both.   Anyway, it gets pretty dang cold […]
