Life on the farm.



Life on the farm is kind of laid back, ain't nothing a country girl like me can't hack to paraprase J. Denver. Sprayed my old adirondack chairs what was supposed to be a "peek-a-boo" blue. They turned out bluuue! but fun, probably more beachy than farm, but fun.
Second is my little farm girl sidekick Lu. When she was little we called her Lulu Pie, apple of my eye, which has now become Lu. We got up with the birds, she swore a hummingbird was pecking at her window. We drang coffee and watched the sun come up over the farm. Such sweet moments like this you want to hold forever.
She had a party this Sun. for her birthday and got her hearts desire, a horse. I'm sure there will be lots of fun pictures to follow. She and her little friend have already been bucked off, but you're not really a cowgirl until you've been thrown, right Jenna?

Went to a garden party!



I was honored to be invited to a surprise birthday party for my talented friend Jenna. She is the queen bee of floral arranging. We were lucky enough to have her on board for our Christmas decorating business this year, and she turned out some amazing Christmas tree "toppers". She does beautiful weddings and events which you will be able to see on her blog "ederynfloral.blogspot.com".
This fun arrangement was my gift to her. I water colored a basket, dyed some doilies, put in some cellophane, put in luscious smelling perennials and herbs and voila! Such fun to do. Such bravery to take to the floral queen, if I do say so! To look at the garden that the party was held in check out her blog "allthecloudsrollaway.blogspot.com
