A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU

GOOD STUFF!!! ;]

SO BEFORE I MOVED I HAD DECIDED I WILL ONLY SAVE AND PUT OUT THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY. THAT BEING SAID MY MC DONALD'S DISNEY TOYS CAME OUT OF ZIP LOCK BAGS AND WENT ON THE SHELVES.

I HAD A LOT MORE BUT GOT PICKY ABOUT WHICH ONES TO KEEP. I PLAY WITH THEM ALL THE TIME, LOL. THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE BOTTOM IS FROM ANNAS OLD LITTLE PEOPLE VILLAGE. IF YOU PRESS THE STAR IT PLAYS CHRISTMAS MUSIC. LETS JUST SAY THE STAR GETS PRESSED PLENTY ;].

OH, AND OF COURSE WE HAVE THE BOTTLE COLLECTION AND SOME OTHER SWEETS.  :}

AND THIS GUY. BILL MADE HIM WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD AND I LOVVVVVE HIM!!!! I THOUGHT HE GOT LOST IN THE MOVE AND WAS SO UPSET BUT CLIFF KNEW WHERE IT WAS AND MADE SURE HE BROUGHT HIM HERE FOR ME, YIPPP!

HE HAS A HOLE IN HIS TOP HAT WHICH COMES OFF AND AT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD SO I CAN ACTUALLY USE HIM TO BURN INCENSE. COOL!

MY CHEESY GARDEN THIS YEAR,LOL. I TOOK POPS LEFT OVER RUNTS AND PLANTED THEM UP FRONT AND DAVE AND MARIA GAVE ME SOME HARDIER TOMATO PLANTS, PEPPERS AND PARSLEY. LETS SEE WHAT WE GET?  ITS NOT PRETTY BUT I NEEDED TO DO A MAKE SHIFT FENCE SO THE DOGS STAY OUT.

I'M TURNING THIS SWEET THING INTO MY FAIRY GARDEN. I HOPE TO MAKE YOU ALL PROUD WITH THIS ONE :}. CANT TELL IN PIC BUT ITS A LARGE WHEEL BARREL!

MR FISHY :}

STILL PULLING WEEDS! GARBAGE MAN HAS BEEN A CHAMP TAKING MY CLIPPINGS AND SUCH...,THANK YOU LORDIE!!! I MISS THROWING YARD WASTE DOWN MY HILL THOUGH!

ITS GETTING BETTER BUT I HAVE TO SAY I CANT WAIT FOR SOME IVY TO GROW ON THIS PIECE OF FENCE. IT FEELS SO BARREN AFTER I TOOK THE TALL WEEDS OUT . I DONT LIKE BEING ABLE TO SEE INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD THROUGH THE CRACKS EITHER :/ .  

TOOK BILL JOB HUNTING AROUND THE BLOCK AND WE SAW THIS BEAUTY AFTER A QUICK RAIN STORM. IT WAS PROBABLY MY MOST AMAZING RAINBOW EXPERIENCE YET.

THE PICS DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE!

IT WAS HUGE AND THE COLORS WHERE BEAUTIFUL!

OKAY, GONNA GO PICK SOMETHING TO DO NOW. HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!! XOXOXOXO

THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE

WALK OUT THE DOOR AND HEAD RIGHT TO DRIVE WAY

THE PROPERTY IS BASICALLY A LARGE TRIANGLE WITH THE TIP CUT OFF. THE TIP AREA BEING THE BACKYARD SO THE FRONT YARD IS PRETTY DARN BIG CAUSE THE HOUSE IS SET BACK ON THE PROPERTY.( MAKING THE BACKYARD SMALL BUT SWEET.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PATH,THINGS ARE VERYYYYY OVERGROWN OUT FRONT.

A BETTER SHOT OF THE FRONT FROM ME STANDING AT THE BACK CORNER OF THE FRONT YARD. THE WEEDS YOU SEE IN THE CENTER, IS A HUGE FLOWER BED THAT IS TAKEN OVER BY WEEDS :{. ITS A BIG JOB. I'M HOPING TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL BY  SUMMERS END.THOSE WEEDS COME UP TO MY SHOULDERS. THEY ARE MUCH BIGGER THEN THIS PIC MAKES THEM APPEAR. THERE IS A PRETTY WHEEPING CHERRY AND SOME OTHER PRETTY THINGS TUCKED IN THERE.

TO THE LEFT IS THE HEDGES THAT RUN ALONG THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. VERY MESSY! GOING TO TRY AND CUT THEM DOWN TO TWO FEET (INSTEAD OF THE 5 FEET THEY ARE NOW) SO WE CAN SEE IF CARS ARE COMING WHEN WE LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY. ITS A BIT HAIRY AT THE MOMENT. OH, YOU CAN SEE THE TOP OF THE WHEEPING CHERRY IN THE BACK RIGHT OF PIC.

THERE IS A LOT OF THESE BUSHES. THEY ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS TO PRUNE SO THIS JOB WILL TAKE A WHILE TOO.

THERE IS A BIT MORE TO THE FRONT YARD. ANOTHER BIG FLOWER BED AND SOME SWEET TREES IN THE BACK CORNER BUT IT WAS SOOOO HOT WHILE TAKING PICS THIS MORNING (MONDAY), I COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE AND WENT INSIDE. TOASTY DAY :o!!!

CAN YOU SPOT THE WREN IN THIS PIC? THIS GUY IS IN THIS TREE BY MY BEDROOM WINDOW EVERY MORNING. HE MAKES THE COOLEST SOUNDS :}.

ONE OF THE MANYYYY BEAUTIFUL ROSES KICKING AROUND HERE. ALL THE LEAVES LOOK LIKE POOP THOUGH :/. ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE???

AND WHAT IS THIS WEED???? I LOVVVVVVE THE WHITE SOFT POM POM IT MAKES. TO BAD THE PLANT ITSELF LOOKS KINDA YUCKY :/.

WELL",THAT'S IT FOR THE YARD TODAY. I'M LOVING MESSING WITH IT ALL AND HOPE TO MAKE IT SUPER GORGEOUS AGAIN. :}

YUP

THIS PIC KILLS ME BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF CLIFF. EVERY NIGHT HE RUMMAGES THROUGH ALL HIS DRAWS. HE GRUMBLES ABOUT WHAT HE IS GOING TO WEAR TOMORROW, AS HE FLIPS CLOTHES ALL AROUND AND THEN LEAVES WITH HIS DRAWS HALF OPENED AND CLOTHES HANGING OUT ALL ABOUT. EVERY NIGHT!

LOVE YOU BANANA BOAT ;]!

STAY COOL EVERYONE! :}

CLAW MACHINE ADDICTION

THE KIDS AND I ARE CRAZY ABOUT CLAW MACHINES. CLIFF TOOK US ALL TO FRIENDLYS AND AFTER SOME SUNDAES THE KIDS AND I COULDN'T GET TO THE CLAW MACHINE FAST ENOUGH. WE SPOTTED THE UNICORN AND SINCE MARIA G IS THE UNICORN RIDER WE HAD TO TRY AND GET IT FOR HER. AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE, WE SUCCEEDED :}.

WE THEN PROCEEDED TO GET 4 MORE STUFFED ANIMALS INCLUDING THE UNICORNS SISTER,LOL. THERE IS A MONKEY STUFFED ANIMAL AROUND MY NECK HERE, NOT A SCARF ;] AND A TIGER AND PENGUIN :}.

ON OUR WALK LAST NIGHT, CLIFF AND I SAW THESE CUTIES.

WE MADE THEM NERVOUS BEING SO CLOSE SO MAMA AND PAPA TOOK THEM ALL TO THE WATER. :}

LOTS OF YARD CLEAN UP TOMORROW IF ALL GOES WELL. ILL TAKE SOME GOOD PICS!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND ENJOY THE SUN EVERYONE :}.

TAKING A BREAK FROM INSIDE

MOST OF THE BACKYARD LOOKS LIKE THIS. I'VE BEEN TACKLING IT A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME AND HOPE TO DO A GOOD HIT THIS WEEKEND. NEED A BREAK FROM THE INSIDE (ALTHOUGH ITS COMING ALONG NICELY ;].)

MORE OF THE WEEDS.

THE WOOD STRUCTURE IS A CANOE HOLDER. YOU SHOULD COME AND TAKE IT ANNE. ;]

SPRING FEVER :}

AFTER RUNNING A MUCK OUTSIDE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, THIS GUY WAS POOPED. FREDDIE TOO. THE FENCED BACKYARD HAS BEEN A GOD SEND FOR THEM.

HAD A LITTLE FUN WITH MY DRIED HERBS AND BURNED A ENERGY IMPROVING COMBINATION IN THE HOUSE. BY THE WAY, CHAMOMILE SMELLS YUM WHEN BURNED! JUNIPER BERRIES SMELL GROSS WHEN BURNED :{! FOUND THAT OUT THE HARD WAY.

HOPE YOUR ALL ENJOYING THIS WEATHER SOME TODAY :}.

WE ARE IN !

SO WE STARTED OUR JOURNEY AT THE NEW HOUSE BY BILLY FINDING TREASURE IN HIS ROOM. YOU NEVER SAW SOMEONE SOOOO HAPPY TO FIND A MESS OF PENNIES,LOL. HE WAS TO CUTE AND FUNNY :}!

THERE WAS AND STILL IS LOTS OF CLEANING TO BE DONE BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM WHAT THE HOME OWNER HAD UNDER THE SINK, CLEANING PRODUCTS WASNT A PROBLEM :o . THERE WAS SOME GOOD STUFF UNDER THERE!

THE KITCHEN IS LONG AND NARROW AND OH SO FULL OF CHARM IN MY BOOK. I CLEANED THE CABINETS AND LINED THE SHELVES WITH SOME VINTAGE WALLPAPER I HAD :}.

THIS IS THE LIVING ROOM. ITS THE FIRST ROOM YOU WALK INTO AFTER THE ENCLOSED PORCH. I AM VERY COZY HERE! CLIFF HAS HIS MAN CAVE DEN AND THIS IS ALL MINE :} :} :} :} :}

THIS IS THE CORNER OF THE BACK YARD WHICH IS LONG AND NARROW, SIDE TO SIDE, AND SOOO SWEET AND PRETTY. CLIFFS PLAYING WITH THE POND WHICH CAME WITH A BIG GOLD FISH :}.
