Since I’d already done my painting and was just trying to cover up the yucky bits, I chose this silicone because I liked how it said “permanently WATERPROOF”.

But I do have lots of real life, and a whole lot of seed-planting.That makes for a better story anyway, don’t ya think?Thursday, 8:17 a.m.. I’m never that type of person who can get a good photo of a bird.

But there he was, sitting on the little pine tree right outside my window, framed by the kitchen door window, the wreath, and the mudroom window, with that lovely cornfield in the background.. Do you see him?You may remember seeing my living room before around here from time to time..Today my living room is the scene of a bit of an oddity, the unsittably pillowed chair!.I’m sure many of you reading today have a pillow problem as well.

It’s not that I necessarily buy or make too many (OK, Chris may disagree here), it’s just that once I get the right pillow in the right spot, it.staying.. That’s gold, people!

Such a rare thing to encounter.

I feel like my pillows never look quite right.Your home becomes a bit of a cool and shady oasis at times on really hot days..

This year, our garden has become almost like our second living room because we’ve just been out there so much!.I’m really just in love with it this year!

It’s kind of a place that we all gravitate too.The grown ups are able to get a little work done and feel accomplished, and the kids can play with the hose or eat strawberries from.
