Yay!!!  It’s Spring…. and almost Summer.   Or is it?  ???? I recently joined a bunch of friends over on Instagram for a backyard story garden tour.  While I was video taping them, I was freezing my coconuts off.  Dang.  I think it was 54 degrees.   So ridiculous.  That’s what you get in Indiana… four seasons […]

I loved all of my Winter decor so much this year and had nothing but a forest of trees everywhere.  I should have counted them, but just know it was A LOT.  The cutest trees kept jumping in my cart in the least likely of places so I kept buying them.  But, that’s that… and […]

Wow… Life has been a little chaotic over the last several weeks. ???? If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you have had lots of updates regarding the surgery I had on my shin.  You’ve probably heard more than you bargained for when you signed up to follow me.  ????

OK… I’m not as mad at the pergola, or at life in general, as I was the on the last couple of posts. I had temporarily lost my will to live. ???? A few days ago, I swear it felt like it was 150 degrees outside, even with our new big shade trees that we bought.  I, […]
