Dear Friends... As soon as I post I will be heading out to this area ... the temps are not as hot today... 84 degrees at this time... I just came in from watering my flowering pots around the pool ... I am not sure the days we have had so far have quite full filled my dreams during the winter months... We received a couple tenths of rain last night but our area is still suffering... as we continue to beg for rain...
    I longed for the pool time and now find myself unable to swim as I continue through my heath issues.. More testing on Monday....
    Shortly the Fourth Of July will be arriving and with it comes many thoughts of family and friends... and many good old fashion outings as we continue to celebrate this tradition... The thought of a picnic just instantly brings back memories of the past and yet continues to be ones favorite thing to do... It just means fun and charm.... it is the desire to experience the wonderful outdoor space... Cushy pillows make me want to swoon as I relax with a great book in hand  and tired eyes may close for a few peaceful moments... Since swimming is not a option right now, dangling the feet is so as soon as I push post I will heading to dangle and to the lounge with book in hand and enjoy the moments... Sending best wishes and blessings to all.

When Out Of The Blue.......

Hello my friends... It has been awhile since my last post.... You have heard the old saying " When Out Of The Blue"..... that is what happened to me Sunday night as I sat watching golf on TV... bammmm.... I now have health issues and due to more testing I am not going to know any more results than I was able to acquire after testing and office call yesterday.... It will be at least a couple weeks... Now I will find myself waiting just have we in our area have been waiting for rain... Our brown crispy lawns and suffering fields continue with little promise to come.... Prayers are needed and I may even try a rain dance....
    On a more positive note I enjoyed a site I would like to share with you....what drew me to the site was the clever and interesting use of ladders but found I enjoyed many other inspiring offerings there... http://acultivatednest.com/2012/01/fun-ways-to-use-old-ladders-in-your-home   
    Feeling the need for positive thoughts my goal the next few days will to be aware of little pleasures that one can treat themselves with of it be as simple as  munching on ice cold watermelon... relaxing with a good book... sipping ice beverages... and allowing relaxation... PS... Maybe I just should get right to it and rent a crane to lift all the pressures.... Sending blessings and best wishes to you all.....

Nature Affecting Our Area

I haven't been the best blogger the last month... as I worked in outdoor spaces thinking everything would remain beautiful and as we traveled last weekend ...
    Today is forecast to be a lovely day... although our area continues to suffer from a lack of rain.... Very hard to keep positive attitude when you are so affected...
      Need to gain some positive thoughts and so small treats that are rewarding only is to one's self... when we do feel some doubts it is always good to do things and surround ourselves with things that make us feel comfortable... I change things for the seasons and seems I haven't completed as much as normal for this summer... Since I won't be purchasing things to do this it is time to play musical objects again... for this to happen for me it simply means turning on the TV {on the direct TV} and clicking on the country music channel and start cleaning and changing vignettes and moving things around a bit... It isn't about spending large sums of money but still surrounding yourself with things you love... Just " follow your heart"... I am very fortunate to have very generously flowing natural light into my home from very large windows and patio doors... Very large and ample for viewing nature from all directions..
      I have a card I must get completed today for Tom's daughters birthday in a couple days... I always enjoy using of book pages when making altered art and cards and wanted to share this site that goes far beyond in showing uses of book pages... great for party time or everyday use.... http://www.thenester.com/     Scroll down on right till you come to post on book pages..    Hope you enjoy a lovely day.... I am off to complete laundry and hopefully relax and take in some sun with a book in hand after a bit....
