Where I've been...

...in the greenhouse...
...from sun up to sun down. It is taking all our time right now - but we've learned this routine after 11 years of growing flowers and veggies. Now, this is a picture from last year - this years blooms are still about two weeks away. So I'll be sharing lots of pictures as they begin to show all their beautiful colors. Jus' in the meantime - if you need me - I'll be diggin' in the dirt. I do love it!
Happy Beautiful Weekend!

Happy Easter Weekend!

Wishing you all a beautiful and blessed Easter Weekend -
A special time with your families and friends.
My lil' pots of rye grass with cute lil' chicks....
I read this today - simply stated but the ultimate truth.
"Passports offer proof of our citizenship and allow us to travel to new places. The cross is proof of God's love for us and is our passport to salvation."
May we all remember the "gift" of Easter.
Many Blessings,
Cathy

"Eat Cake"...

...I love to eat cake no matter what it is served in but how fun would it be if you had this to greet you every time you went for a piece!
I started with an "antique" cake dome I found...
Painted it some bright happy colors - with polka dots of course, but the possibilities are endless - monograms, scenery, family stick figures, seasonal - oh my

...Don't forget to dress up the knob...

...put a coat of varnish on it to protect it (I don't paint the base for food safety) and TADA - simple, simple but oh so cute!

Now tell me, who wants some cake?
Happy Tuesday!
