It's Alive!!!

I know I keep saying this but..

WHERE does the time go????

I feel like I'm running in place lately..

late for everything (thanks for the reminder Tootsie!!).

A couple weekends ago we had a "Weeding Weekend" at the farm.

While there I spied a small Weeping Peach.

As you know Mom had a beautiful garden

 that has all but disappeared over the years.

Mom had a few of these and every once in a while

a fallen peach would spring forth a new tree.

They are so pretty when they bloom.

This was "The Last of the Mohicans".

I was so sad when I lost mine a few years ago,

I loved it and had received so many compliments on it.

So with shovel in hand I dug it up and

hoped and prayed it would make it.

Well, here she is.....

Leafing out and even a few blooms.

I think she'll be OK.

One of my Baby Roses is just about open.

The little blue flowers next to it are Forget-Me-Nots 

Some of my Callas

Ok nope skeddadle over to Tootsie Time to see everyone's

Fertilizer Friday photos!

Fertilizer Friday! 3/12/10

Last weekend was "Weeding Weekend" at the farm.

The drive along Hwy 5 and 580 was so pretty.

Fruit Trees

almonds

even the Mustard was pretty!

Sheep had been turned out and

were so happy for the fresh greens!

the hills were so beautiful

cows had been turned out too

ah, and the Windmills along the Altamont

were spinning their hearts out

into the Livermore Valley

After a day of weeding we did the return trip,

and played couch potato the next day!

Treasures ~ 3/9/10

I'm joining Diane at A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

 for the first time for 2nd Time Around Tuesday.

Be sure to pop over and see what everyone else is sharing.

I'm also joining for the first time,

Linda over at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays.

Be sure to check out what everyone is showing.

There weren't many yard/garage sales last weekend,

but I did find a new 2nd hand furniture store

 that just opened two towns over.

 Such a variety for a small town,

I was very surprised and impressed with the quality

and cleanliness of the store and items.

There are several rooms, the furniture is set up like

you would find it in a home.

I had originally visited the weekend before

and had spied a sweet sofa.

Walked over to it and found it was a LazyBoy Hideabed.

The price was $200.00. Next to it was a comfy looking chair with cover

for $40.00. The owner told me there was a lady

that was interested in both and she would be in the next day.

Figured it wasn't meant to be.....

My daughter and I wandered around and I ended up getting

this door knocker, $3.00. This will end up somewhere in the Living Room

 that is getting a makeover this summer.

 I also purchased this sweet bouquet for $3.00 too.

Ok now we're caught up..

went in last weekend and to my surprise the

sofa and chair were still there! The lady never made it in.

I was so excited, I snagged them both.

Figured she snoozed and loosed ;~)

Hideabed and 2 throw pillows

Chair with washable cover and a pillow

I had that coordinates beautifully. And yes it IS comfy.

On the way out I heard a scream....

Take us, take us!

So I did!

Set of nesting tables, $15.00

Now to get the living room painted

so I can arrange all my beauties.

Mosaic Monday ~ Easter Tags

Another week has passed and

here we are at Mosaic Monday.

To see everyone's Marvelous Mosaics be

sure to pop over to Little Red House

and visit Mary, our Hostess.

It's getting closer to Spring and Easter

so I've been busy making Hang Tags.

Here are a few I've got listed on in my store.

This year I was into vintage images and glitter....

Fertilizer Friday! 3/5/10

Yes, once again it's Fertilizer Friday over at Tootsie Time!

Spring is almost here,

 so be sure to check out everyone's happenings.

It was gorgeous a few days ago. Sunny and 65*.

My daughter, Melissa and I were stuck in the car

doing errands on the west side.

Little did we know at the time what absolutely

beautiful sights we would see.

Along the back roads to Turlock,

all the Almond Orchards were in full bloom.

 

The only thing bad about this is that the Bees

have been placed in the orchards for pollinating.

 With the warm temperature they were out doing what Bees do best.

There's no way to avoid hitting them.

Pop, pop, pop as they hit the windshield.

It makes me feel sooo sad.

We ended up on 99 south towards Merced.

 The shoulders of the freeway were painted in orange and purple.

California Poppies and Wildflowers are in full glory!

Breathtaking!

Hwy 99 south between Turlock and Atwater CA

 

More Almonds

Fruit Trees and Rosemary

Wishing Spring is close to you too ☺

Have a great weekend! 

And yes, I do take pictures while driving..

I know, bad me!

Fertilizer Friday! 2/26/10
