Pretty & Heavy

While out shopping last week I came upon these old, beautiful, wonderfully chippy old radiators.

What do you do with an old radiator?

There has got to be a special project.

Fortunately, I don't know of one because I'm quite confident these are pretty darn heavy and there is no way my #1 would haul them.

But they sure are pretty to look at.

My Little World

Life's been a little crazy around here these days.

I'll warn you this is not for the weak at heart.

My dad has been in and out of the hospital this last month due to his heart and water on the lungs.

He is home now and on the mend.

My husband didn't want to be out done so this Saturday while he was working outside on a project, all of a sudden I hear, "We've got a problem here!!!".

I ran out to see him holding his hand, blood all over.

I rushed him into Emergency.

He had been cutting a piece of hard wood on the table saw and the wood kicked back and hit his hand taking off the tip of his little finger.

Oh...the pain he was in!

So Monday he was back in the hospital having surgery on his little finger.

They ended up taking off the tip of his finger from the cave of the nail and up.

So his finger is a tad bit shorter, poor guy.

But, we feel very fortunate that is was not any worse.

This means he is off work for a little while, which I don't mind.

I like having him around.

In fact Friday we celebrate 28 years together!

Thanks for stopping by and letting me tell you a little bit about what's going on in my world.

Snowballs

I have to say, it's been a lot of fun watching the flowers I planted last year, coming up this year.

When I picked out the flowers I tried to stick with Perennials.

One of the flowers, whick I planted a few years back, is my Snowball Tree.

It's a plant my parents gave me and I love it!

Another item I love is this old metal chair.

I picked up a couple of them a few years back.

One was sellable, in good condition, but the other one, this one, had a few issues.

It was perfect for my flower garden.

I hope you're enjoying Spring!

Well, today's the day!

The show opens at 8:00am this morning.

For some reason I am not given the option to enlarge my pictures so all my pictures are small...I'm totally frustraited with that! So click on the first picture and you will be wisked away to larger pictures.

Did you grab your coffee because here we go....

This is just a little sampling of what's in store for you at Monticello

Everyone has done such a nice job.

So, if you're in the area be sure to stop by.
