Kitchen Springtime


These are the beautiful Iris blooms my sweet friend, Cindy brought me. Don't have any in my garden. Guess I should grow some. They remind me of orchids. Thanks so much, Cindy.

First Bluebonnets




Nothing means spring in Texas like bluebonnets. These are in my front garden. Last year was such a bad year for wildflowers because of the drought, but this spring promises to be really great. These are just my first blooms, I'v got more to come.

Was in the twilight zone for the last week. I didn't do any of my regular routine. Grandson, Trey was here for Spring Break all week, jury duty one day, then my daughter Holly and granddaughter Harley came for the weekend. Enjoyed every minute (except maybe the jury duty). Don't get to see them as often as I'd like so it was really a treat for us.

Sweet Little Shelf







My HH came through again with this little shelf. I never could find anything small enough to fit this small space next to my closet door. It's only 8" deep so I couldn't open the closet all the way without moving everything. I was going to find some fancy brackets, but I was cleaning out the garden shed and found these in a box I was collecting for my Yard Sale ( more about this later ). I had used these as plant hangers before. Just a little black spray paint and I found some old round wooden knobs to hot glue on and ... well, there you are. Now I have the perfect shelf for my little lamps.
