Being in love
makes you dance to the rhythm of the copy machine.
It makes Friday night really feel like the weekend
and makes cruising along in your old beater
with the windows rolled down
feel like you're in a convertible.
Love makes every song on the radio your favorite
and every face on the street someone worth smiling at.

TGIF!!!!


Things are so lush and green around here from all the rain lately.
My rose bushes have never looked more beautiful…..the fragrance is just amazing!!!!!!
Since my roses have grown so much they will need some pruning.
I found this article to be really helpful.
A little inspiration to start your weekend off right:

The 10 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Pruning Roses- I was so proud I didn't make any of these mistakes, until I got to #10 You didn't prune at all. WAH!!

A little Frenchie stool……


The other day I recovered this little antique stool in toile fabric to match the window treatments in the guest bedroom.

This is what it looked like when I first bought it……..
The finish was in good shape, however the fabric was pretty soiled.

The mirror that was hanging in the hallway previously was moved to the guest bedroom and this new one took it’s place.

Update on the fox cubs……


I haven’t seen the cubs since Friday…..I was a little worried the mommy had moved them to a different den. I was so happy when I looked out the window and saw them today!!!

The mommy had brought them something to eat but they were more interested in playing.

Still blooming……


I do not have a green thumb……
So, imagine my surprise when this Orchid in the guest bedroom started to bloom after all the old blooms had fallen off. I figured it would get a couple of new blooms and then it would die like all the rest of the Orchids I buy. However this one has been blooming since last July!!!! Yes, that’s right, it just keeps on blooming!!!!!

This room gets amazing sunlight unlike the rest of the house.

I can't write beautiful, lyrical poetry,
I can't put my words into perfect sentences,
I can't express all that is in my heart,
But somehow, "I love you"...
Says it all.
