do tell, what grows in your garden?

Patti,

Forget - me - nots grow in part of my garden.

so do you remember that pink wicker chair I got last year at the Kane County Flea, well it's enjoying it's life in my back yard. I put it right under this wonderful tree that is in the middle of my yard. yesterday, after work I got a chance to sit under the tree and enjoyed the cool sweet breeze......

do tell, pls what does your garden grow?

so do tell, what does your garden grow?

Im off today

off from work and in many other ways as well.

I was planning on going to Geneva today since I am off, but set a doc appt as my nerves have been shot all this week plus my son went on his 5th grade trip and really wanted to use my camera and as a mother how can you turn your child away from wanting to capture an important trip in picture form.

so I leave you with this shadow box creation of mine. I loved creating and ever since my move to IL it's been put on the back burner. all my art supplies still in boxes in my garage. that's life right.

okay ya'll I am off gotta run, work tomorrow and hopefully if it's not raining on Sunday maybe well see an outing somewhere.

Peace to you and have a wonderful weekend!

Geneva, IL

they are the reason why I was laughing earlier today.

these boys are so full of energy, wish I had a bit of their energy.....

another reason why I am thankful!

a simple kind of life

yesterday before everyone woke up I took a walk in my yard enjoying the fresh air and getting ready for my hubbies family that would be join us in a couple of hours. isn't it wonderful to have, at least in my mind, a simple kind of life. I am full of emotion this morning, but I am so GRATEFUL for all that have lost their lives so that I can have MY simple kind of life.

I am grateful to be able to enjoy the beauty that is around me. I am so grateful to be able to be here with my family and enjoy this freedom. FREEDOM to be able to walk out in my yard in my p.j.s at 7:00 in the morning and be part of my surroundings. Even my mother's little dog LULU
was enjoying the weather and the birds singing.

I am so GRATEFUL for MY simple kind of life!

good morning

today is my Saturday as I had to work all day yesterday, but the good thing about working on a Saturday you get any day of the week off.

so I chose next Friday.... the bad thing about working a Sat you miss all the fun stuff that is going on all around us, no farmers market this weekend and yesterday was the beginning of the
Randolph street market. It's actually two days, but today we are staying home and having a BBQ with my husbands family. that should be fun since we will have tons of little girls running around and a new born coming to visit.

pictured here are pics I took at the COUNTRY LIVING fair that came to Chicago a couple years back. I still don't understand why they have not come back to Chicago....

How about two shows COUNTRY LIVING one in OHIO and one in Chicago, PLS!

Two weeks from now I will have the pleasure of Meeting Eddie Ross and Jaithan, they are coming to the Kane County flea and as a treat for my cousin and I my husband was nice enough to buy us tickets. That will be my cousin's birthday weekend so I hope she enjoys flea marketing and meeting interesting people. I am totally up for it as I have the flea itch bad today!

So what am I up to on Friday, since my boys are still in school, I really want to go to Geneva, Il. So my plan at this moment is to get up early, see the boys to school and get in my little truck and speed all the way to Geneva, Il which is only 25 minutes away and hopefully I will get into some mischief and bring you all back some interesting pictures.... DO YOU WANT TO COME ALONG?

Have a great memorial weekend ya'll.
