Deb and I made a DIY bird feeder stand out of an old cast iron light post at the old house in the woods years ago.  And, we loved it.  It keeps all of the different bird feeders in one location.  We had a porch column in our stash and Deb decided to make another […]

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s and Shopstyle.  As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.   Just because we have been working out in the woods creating fire pits and chopping wood doesn’t mean we can’t look stylish.  ????????????????   I have really been on the lookout for cute, comfy, casual clothes because they […]

February is a weird month here in Indiana.  We can have 60 degree days and some years we have 2 feet of snow on the ground through March.  Yesterday and today were almost 60 degrees.  And it’s still so dark and dreary.  Yes, the days are getting longer but it’s going a little slow.  ???? […]
