I Love and Respect Nature~

NOTE:  THIS POST IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO OFFEND ANYONE OR REFERRING TO ANYONE IN PARTICULAR.  IT IS MERELY AN OBSERVATION AND MY OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

 I'm always seeing these beautiful displays with bird nests and anything that is growing pretty in the wild and I just love the natural look of it all.  I admit, I have thought about using the real thing in my displays but can't make myself to take a home away from a helpless little bird.  So I always make my own out of twigs, dried tall grass and anything that is pliable enough to shape into a nest. This weekend, while cleaning up the yard, we found a precious bird nest in one of our trees.  There was no sign of any Momma or Bebe's in the nest, so my husband carefully cut the branch with the nest in it. 

(no birds were harmed while removing the branch)

You will be happy to know that we returned the nest back in the tree so future birds will have a safe place to rest and stay out of the elements.

Have a great week!

A Relaxed Evening~

It's Saturday night and I have the house all to myself!  What's a girl to do?  Well, I have decided to pour me a glass of vino and watch a favorite movie...a chick flick of course!  Mona Lisa Smile....I don't think that Julia Roberts has ever made a bad movie ever...and this is one of my favorites.  And because it takes place in the 1950's in a place where most of the characters are high society and the clothes, hats and jewelry they wore were fabulous. 

So...off I go and enjoy my evening alone~

Enjoy your evening as well~

It's Good To Be Home~

I'm sooooooo glad to be sleeping in my own bed!!!!  Being gone for two weeks is rough on this old girl!  Now, I just need to get back into the groove of things....I just had to show you some of the bluebonnets we have growing in the field next to our home.

I'll post some pics of the show later in the week....I have to catch-up at home first.

White Wednesday~

I apologize for not being consistent with 'White Wednesday'. So with the weather being too cold outside to be shopping and doing what I need to do to prepare for Christmas...I thought this would be a good time to join in the fun. It's too warm and cozy in my house to not want to indulge in today's 'White'.

Here's a few pics of my home in 'White' dressed for the Holidays!

Enjoy and stay warm~

Peace, Love, and Blessings~

I know it's been a while since my last post but my computer has been sick and just got out of the hospital.

I do hope that everyone's Thanksgiving was super! I was very blessed to be able to spend the day with my family and eat way too much. But hey, isn't that what it's all about?

My home and table~

So, with Turkey Day over it is now time to tackle the task of decorating for the Holidays, do some shopping and so much more. Next week I will attempt to get my house decorated and maybe do some entertaining before December really gets crazy. Christmastime has always been one of my favorite times to decorate and entertain. To me it's the one time of the year that conservatives like me go out a little more than usual with their decorating.

May your Holiday Season be filled with Peace, Love, and Laughter.

White Wednesday~

White Wednesday is upon us once again. As I am sitting down to post this I decide I should get in the mood, so I turn on the Sirius XM Radio and channel in on some Smooth/Contemporary Jazz. How relaxing and soothing to start my day off with such comfort and ease.

O.K. now on the my post. This week's WW consists of some random pics of things around my house. I have been sprucing things up a bit around the house... with Summer almost gone I feel I should be re-arranging my vignettes. Now, I will leave you with some of my favorite things.

Have a

Wonderful and Relaxing

White Wednesday!

Relaxing Sunday~

Yesterday was a day of working outside in the yard. My husband and I got all the mowing and weed-eating done, and I must say the yard looks very nice. So, today I'm just lounging around in my pj's watching movies and enjoying the day.

Here's a collection of vignettes around my house.

Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home~

The days are getting hotter, you know what that means....summer is almost here! I can't believe that we will be living in this house for a year in July. Which brings me to the reason I'm doing this post. I still don't have anything on the walls. When we moved in we painted the walls Whole Wheat (Sherwin Williams paint) and I am afraid to damage the walls by putting holes all over them when I'm not sure what to put on them. I have this obsessive compulsive thing about putting holes in the walls.

Here are a few photos of what my living room and dining room look like without anything on the walls and a few special ones as well. So, I would really appreciate some advice on what to do.

I hope you enjoyed the pics and can't wait to hear what ideas you come up with.

Hugs to all!
