Recent Rescue

I will always think  of this gorgeous husky as Sasha.  And we got to enjoy him for a little while.  My daughter Jennifer was walking our dog, Sir Winston, a cocker spaniel, when this gorgeous lost boy decided to follow them home.  He made himself  right at home in our backyard, and looked very lovely there.  A collar, but no tags.  My friend Missy came by since she is a dog expert, and helped me take him to the emergency animal clinic to check to see if he had been chipped.  The vet weighed him at 54 pounds, said he was about a year old and in great health.  Sasha was very verbal with us and really "talked" and tried to tell us all about his adventure.  We reassured him that we were looking for his family, and he seemed to really love me, as he would lay his head on my shoulder several times and give me a doggie caress.  He totally melted my heart. No chip was found, and so we posted all over social media and our local FB page for lost pets.  Lots of friends shared his information, and by nightfall, his owner and family had found us through social media.  We were thrilled to be able to reunite Bowie with his owner, as we found out his name.  And his owner was very grateful.  They took care of getting him chipped right away.  And as it turns out, they live in our neighborhood, so hopefully we will get to see them on walks or at the nearby park.    Bowie, "Sasha" is such a sweet natured and affectionate dog - and I wish him and his owner many very happy years together!

Williamsburg Bird Bottle and Texas Mosquitos

Image
I have had this bird bottle for many years now, and in all of the moves and places we have lived - never once hung it up.  I lived in Williamsburg, Virginia for one year when I was 20, and I loved the Colonial area, and walking through the Governor's Palace Gardens. I bought the bottle on a return trip when as a family we traveled there to show our girls where we had once lived.  And for them to experience Jamestown, and Colonial Williamsburg. I do not know why I have moved it to so many places and never hung it in a garden.  Or under the eaves of the house. Maybe this says something about me not ever really feeling at home at the other addresses.  I do feel more at home here, and perhaps it is because I have had much to do with the choosing of the main properties and decor of the house.  It has also been a stable and calm period of life, and my children and I do feel comfortable and peaceful and at home here.   The bird bottle is supposed to attract...

Relaxing: Porch Rocking Chairs, Hard Apple Cider and Fire Pit Flames on a Crisp Spring Evening

Image
 I found these two rocking chairs while shopping at Aldi's.  Only $25 each.  After looking around and online - I thought this was a great price for porch rocking and relaxing.    I also found a terrific deal on Amazon for a $65 Fire pit.  Assembly was required - but it wasn't too bad, and thankfully everything was included that was needed for the assembly.  This fire pit came with some great accessories - even a plastic cover for bad weather.   A fire on a crisp Spring night with a crisp apple cider in hand.  Enjoying this from my new rocking chair.  I did realize though that, I will have to put down some kind of stone circle of pavers or a gravel pit somewhere for the fire pit, for safety concerns.  That still needs to be done.   We are going to have a lot of fun with this - roasted marshmallows, smores. and hot dogs coming up!

Backyard Beginnings

Image
Places to sit and reflect I'm so proud that this she shed has found a home and will become a space for me to create! Picnic area.  We love picnics in our family.   The Mission Fig tree transplant.  I am hoping that it lives! I would love to have an area like this to the left of the studio.  This would be into the future  But I really like Adirondack chairs and fire pits.  A place to chill and relax with friends would be really nice.
