Diane's Flowers

When they first got back from TX these all had flowers

I have to baby sit these plants until Clints parents have their new camper brought in and she has a place for them.
At night when its s'pose to be frosty I have to bring them in.
I do not like Geraniums... they fall apart all over the place!




Pink Rose





Yellow Rose (really little right now)





and a Christmas Cactus


New View Today



I was just sitting here waiting for the computer to boot up and something caught my eye outside...
here is this tiny little bird (comparing to my geese) darting in and out of that pile to be burned!
OH NO!
Its making a nest in there.
Well, I went outside and just stood there to get their picture... no dice! Man are they fast. They'd pop out and be gone, then just as quick back in again!
I can hear a Cardinal out here somewhere.. it sounds like he's saying "Hurry Hurry"
We also have a Palliated Woodpecker.. man is he beautiful!

May 17th

Creativity finally showed up! LOL

Please remember you basic tool kit for class!

Class fee $15.00





Ahh man!

I am not feeling very creative!
I have not figured out all my classes for May yet... in my head YES, in actual projects.. Not a chance! LOL
When my son moved out last year after graduation, I took over his room as my craft room. Before that I was sharing our bedroom. Taking out what I wanted to use, working in the dining room then putting it all back before bed.
UGH!
Then, my mother gave me a corner style sewing cabinet, I don't sew - but hey! So while it stayed in my trunk, I deliberated over how I'd get that into my little 10' x 8' room.
Crystal and Julie were over for the weekend.. and one of them said.. too bad you couldn't switch with the bedroom. hummmmmmmm now that's a thought!
So I measured everything.. bed, dresser, armour, space needed to open doors and drawers, how much room beside the bed for making it... etc
Well Yeah, lets do this!
I called Clint and asked if he'd care. As I figured, as long as he had a bed at night he didn't care which room it was in!
So first thing was to empty the little room, bed had to have its home right away! LOL
We had an incident with Stretch wrap and the armour and my face.. but that's a dork confession for later!
We started this at about 6pm I think and by 10 pm (I was dragging butt) we were done enough to stop for the night.
Here's the little room.. I kinda miss it!


Now here's the new one 14' x 15' I think its too much space for my mind to work! LOL

Then 2 weeks after we got it all arranged.. we packed it all up so we could paint!





I do have a point here..
Last year I cleaned what was my "view" We have 15 acres in the woods, so I cleared some brush and dead stuff from what I could see right outside my craft room window.
Well I switched rooms and now have a different view.
I spent a very small amount of time outside (between reorganizing and the rain) cleaning the new view.
There happens to be an old brush pile from from the old owners where thay had thrown the scraps from cutting wood to heat with. Well it is right dead center in my view!
We started to burn it and it did burn.. the very center and part of the back.. none of which I can see while I sit here. Go figure!

Brightly Gleaming

 My sister and I spent all day Friday organizing all of the Christmas papers.  Turns out I have 10 full bins, all retired of just Christmas....
