Some Like It Hot!!

Time to get some more salsa going. 

Summer's Bounty

Hot and humid makes my garden grow.............and grow.........and grow.  Strawberries have long been gone.  Now replaced by larger red beauties, I'm spending my summer vacation (after work and on weekends) canning tomatoes, tomato sauce, and salsa.  A large basket of cucumbers is calling my name so I'll have to run.  Don't want to be accused of "veggie abuse".  "Vacation photos to follow."  Anyone else canning or freezing?

Time to Create

Finally a little time to be creative.  With Mother's Day fast approaching, it was time to get cracking.  Wish I could tell you more about the creation of this card but most of it was from my stash.  The old lace across the bottom (and I do mean OLD) was a treasure from my mother's house.  Her house is a treasure trove of wonders just waiting to be discovered.  Thanks Mom!

Wish I didn't have to make sympathy cards but hope my dear friend who lost her sister last week will know now much I care about her.

 And one more tonight.  For a sweet girl who's graduating from high school.  

Happy Easter

Hoping everyone has a blessed day. These came from my yard........isn't God good?  Such beauty on our Holiest of days.

The Devil

A day in the garden and yard without being harassed  by the devil.  "Loui" as in short for Lucifer, is not my friend.  Today he was occupied with other things.  I was able to weed the garden in peace.  A job made easier by God's intervention--the temps were cool and the ground moist from last night's rain.  And His protection from Lucifer--seen and unseen.

As Promised.........

Finally a pic of one of my crafts.
I made it just after Christmas when it was cold ........and I was oh so tired of cold.
The white woven back was a "treasure" from a second-hand store for 99 cents (actually it's an old plate charger).  I painted it white with some of the brown showing through for a vintage look.  The flowers were purchased at Michaels with my Christmas gift cert (thanks Jen) and the bird nest was a salvage from my rose bush--just sprayed it with a little adhesive to hold it together. 

Hope you enjoy!
