Ken may laugh that I will spend a good part of the day (at least once a week) at the local 'junk shops', but hey... you just never know what you will find.
Like this drum kit for instance.
$10 bucks and Ben loves it... so it makes it all worth while.
Oh. Ben was not sweating like a rock star, it was a pop-icey explosion!
Mary, Mary, quite contrary... How does your garden grow?
Why?
By the square foot of course!
Dear hunny bunny built me two great planters and two wonderful compost bins over the Memorial holiday weekend. They are great, very economical, and earth friendly.
Got the idea of square foot gardening from Mel Bartholomew.
I hope this works. I was really getting excited after reading his book that I purchased from the thrift store for ten cents.
Here are a few photos for your entertainment.
And of course, Ruby has the new job of keeping squirrels out! She is taking this job very seriously.
Now I just have to figure out what I want to use in between the beds and as a buffer into the yard to make that area a little more aesthetically pleasing (bark, paving stones).
Any ideas?
Well I know I have been gone a while, but I am never far away.
We are getting ready to have our upstairs bathroom gutted to the studs and remodeled. This will be our last big project and our home will practically be new. Last year we remodeled the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, this year will be the upstairs bathroom and maybe a central air conditioner (I hope)!
As the demolition and construction come along I will be sure and blog about it.
Other new stuff news:
My wee man had his second birthday this past Saturday. I know, I know... I am a bad mommy as I have no photos of the party to share, but hey... I was behind the scenes making sure everything was running smoothly.
Well, I do have one I can share. The little man got some sweet cash for his birthday from one of the g-ma's down in Florida. So mom, this one's for you.
Also, found a great artist (new to me), and purchased one of her adorable prints.
You can find her at The Black Apple or buy some of her great work at The Black Apple etsy shop!
My other new find was this great pottery piece. Found it at the Goodwill for .99 cents... what a score. It is completely original as it has a little signature in the clay on the bottom. It is probably worthless, but soo cool.
Right now I am using it for a pencil holder, but that may change... hmmm...
Take care and keep checking back.
