From Our Back Porch

Summer Is Coming To An End

The Summer season is just about over. It sure did fly bay fast and hard to believe that we are actually going to be moving forward into cooler weather...Which in so many ways is nice! I will miss all the pretty Spring/Summer flowers yet there are many Autumn flowers that I appreciate as well. But soon it will all wither away and it will be Winter before you know it.

A week has already passed since our son was here for a visit. I captured these photos of my kids together right before we took him to the airport. I think they are beautiful people inside and out.

 God is so good!

I have a lot to do on the home front yet. Our move was big and took a toll on us! Hopefully I can get more done this week...Here's to a great week ahead!

Dandies

Missy Girl and I went out to pick the dandelions growing all over our yard and field. 

These precious "WEEDS" as most call them are medicinal 

treasures that I will use to make salves, lip balms and soaps. 

You can also make wishes with them if you want. I picked a nice little bucket full and have more to harvest, then off to soaking them in oil for several weeks. Can't wait to use it! Missy agrees!

Blooming~

Today is Pioneer Woman Wednesday on Instagram, where you share your pioneer woman pieces in a vignette, and to show how you use or style those pieces. This is the picture I shared today of my newest floral Pioneer Woman Bowl paired with a vintage floral plate and vintage cow. 

The flower beds are blooming around here. Practically overnight these bleeding hearts and tulips appeared. Such a happy surprise to see these growing in our beds. And so colorful too! 

Makes me so happy!!!

Well off to get things done...

Have a Happy Wednesday!!!

Spring Is In The Air

Spring is in the air! The trees and flowers are blooming around here...And the birds are building nests and laying their eggs. We are so blessed to have this darling Momma Robin on our back porch doing her thing. She sings during the day and sits on her beautiful blue eggs. It's such a treat to watch right outside our window. I took a quick picture while momma bird was out singing and getting herself a meal. There are four brilliant little perfect eggs! Can't wait to see their lil heads popping up from the nest soon. I won't get too close when that happens...So i don't scare the babes out of their nest. I did that many years ago and couldn't get the babies to stay in the nest afterward. They were not ready to go. I placed them back in the nest but they plopped out again. I felt horrible. And their momma was quite upset. Lesson learned: Don't mess with God's lil creation.

Spring in ultimately my favorite season of all time. Everything begins to bloom so beautifully. It just goes by so fast! We also decided not to rush on the garden this year as we had planned. We have to wait for some possibilities in our future, so we are holding off. Until next time friends! See y'all soon!
