We have purchased about 4,700 sample size containers of paint from Benjamin Moore. We want to be absolutely, positively sure on this color selection thing, because it’s a big deal. A bad color can break a room, while a great color can make it sing!

Cut Lilies Can Make A Room!

Lilies. I love them. They have the most wonderful scent ever! We usually buy 4 stems, and they last about 2 weeks. I usually try to find a few stems that have blooms that have not opened so they will last longer. This is what I do: Continue reading “Cut Lilies Can Make A Room!”

A friendly reminder…
How is it possible that it is the END of July already? End. Of. July. I guess I could also say how did Fred and I go from being the “young ones” in the neighborhood to being the “older ones” – Life passes quickly, that’s how… Continue reading “A friendly reminder…”
Happy Birthday Charlie! 🐾

It’s hard to believe Charlie, our Jack Russell is NINE years old today! I started my first blog with Charlie as the subject “Life With Charlie” because it was the only way I could get any peace. The first year that we had him I walked him so often trying to get him to walk on a leash nicely, not eat the leash as we walked, etc. He’s a little pro walking now, he just keeps up and those little legs are going a mile a minute.

Gorgeous Geraniums!
Early Spring, I bought several geraniums from our local Harris Teeter (grocery store). They were a deal at $5 each. They’ve since been repotted into larger, prettier pots and they are doing miraculously!
We have several, and one from last year, not sure which one is the old one. In the Spring we put them in the full sun, but now that hot summer is upon us we put them under the palm for some filtered sun. They’re much happier this way!

Marigold – A Portrait!
Time…

Just look at this water! It looks so clear – and so chilly – as in teeth chattering, at least for someone who has lived in the heat of the South for the past 29 years. I grew up living on this river (in Michigan) – it was heavenly. We would jump in down the street and the current would bring us down the river (about 5mph if I remember correctly) where we would climb out, then walk back and do it all over again. Over and over and over… Continue reading “Time…”
How To Store Fresh Cilantro!
I was whipping up a batch of Cowboy Caviar (If you haven’t tried it, ohmy! Give it a whirl, it’s good by itself, as a dip or added to other recipes – delicious!!) and had a large bunch of cilantro I didn’t want to go to waste. I had read what to do to be able to store it so that I could use it in more than one recipe. Continue reading “How To Store Fresh Cilantro!”
