Yesterday I snapped this picture of Mele in a corner of our yard. The grass is beginning to turn green and the flowers, with NO help from me, are beginning to bloom because of our warm weather. They think it is Springtime....and maybe it is. Who are we to say...
My dear Patient Husband got up on the roof to put up this little bit of wood carving that my eldest son and daughter in law gave to me a long time ago. I painted it red and decided to try it up there. Do I like it? Well, I had just better!
It was a bit windy and cool earlier this week when he climbed up there (against my better judgement) but the man is very stubborn and wouldn't let dear son-in-law come and do it.
Shhhhh, it's a bit crooked and a bit high..but..I am NOT saying a word. NOT a word!
The flowers are having a party by the front porch! They also bought into the "early Spring" thing!!
Have you ever wanted something done and then got what you wanted and ..wondered at the wisdom of your big FAT IDEA??? Hmmmmm??? But that little artsy thing is staying right there on the house!
!
I found this little silver tussy mussy on Saturday. I put it on my piano..and it's found a home there.
That is my grandmother in the photo behind the tussy mussy. The photo of my children in the background has my children cutting up and laughing. Eldest son..of course had to make the worst face he could make. Awww..the joys of being a parent! :)
Our little Coastal Redwoods are now higher than our house. They have grown so fast.
It's sort of like watching a child grow, but these are growing SO much faster.
That's it! Ok..so this post is rather here, there and all over the place..but it's ...a POST, darn it!!
Hugs and love,
Mona
Mona, all your posts are delightful. Your silver tussy mussy is a real delight. It looks as though it might have been in the era of silver rattles.

How sweet your hubby is to you. Love it. sandie
ReplyDeleteHi Mona, some days you just gotts go with what you got and that's perfectly OK.
ReplyDeleteMona, don't talk to me about being all over the place posts...that seems to be my specialty!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThe decorative thingie on the house is very nice. I would have a hard time not asking for it to be lowered..but that's me! Your hubby is a doll to do that for you and I hate ladders and think they are evil so he deserves double love from you! Your flowers are amazing and they look like mine will in July! I'm so jealous! Fun post Mona!
ReplyDeleteI like that photo of Mele! I can almost feel how warm and nice it is there :-) Spring has actually arrived to Sweden as well now, not to my little village yet but if this warm weather continues it will be here within a week. I know it's way to early and that winter can arrive any minute yet, but I still hope the winter will stay away :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! The only thing showing here yet are snowdrops :-)
Have a great day!
Chjrister.
I enjoy all of your posts! This one was no exception. You have a lovely chatty way and pack a lot in a small space, Mona. Loved it all. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks you, Desiree!! Chatty, yes, well that is certainly me. :) And thank you for putting it so nicely!
ReplyDeleteHi Mona,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post..and I Love your decorative wood carving I think it looks great right where hubby nailed it. I have the same flowers in my front yard and they are blooming way. The sunray photo is beautiful!
Have a sweet day and big hugs, Elizabeth
I've always loved that term tussy mussy...wonder where it came from? I like the little artistic touch and I agree that it's fine just where it is. My philosophy is that if you have a husband sweet enough to do little projects for you, then you shouldn't complain if (when) they aren't perfect:) I love the red...my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteI loved this meandering post. Just like real train of thought. Your first photo reminds me of a dreamy children's story book page.
ReplyDeleteI love the little artsy thingy up there...your hubby was sweet to climb up there and place it for you.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunshine photo and I can't believe that you already have such lovely flowers. Just beautiful
