On the First Day of Winter...

Early this morning Shirley came over and had a Nice Cup o' Cocoa on the porch...
I had to chuckle- After all it WAS a balmy 39 degrees-
This is how she arrived-



Notice the Stylish ear Warmers... and she Brought her own Blankie !!







Fed the Birdies... Found a nice new Feed- has pieces of Almond, Sunflower seed, Peanuts, and the usual seedy bits I'm not sure what is...




This Snowman has hung out here for the last 4-5 years... His little Bells 'Yingle' when the wind Blows... And Boy, it has been choosing to blow Gustily intermittently the last week or so !! Blasts of cold East winds 30 to 45 m.p.h.




These Cardinals were to be Ornaments--- but they are made of Resin--- and h.e.a.v.y.
So they swing from the Rafters !!






My little Drawer/Shelf by the door...




Silk Poinsettias in my little metal Egg Basket...




The Poor little Battered Charlie Brown Christmas Tree... Blow over too many times and looking rather Untidy... But still Cheery & makes me smile- what more does it need to do ?




All the Leaves Scoured from the huge Old Horse chestnut tree...




Now the Moss covered limbs are in view...




In the Evenings these are the Sweet Faces I am presented with---
Alice asking if it is Beddy Bye time ??




She has her Brown Raggedy box all Fluffed and Ready for lights out !!




Babylon looks at me with infinite Patience... Knowing Soon it will be Snuggle time...




Okay Mama--- Get out your Book to read and let me get on with Snoozin' !!




Kuchi always needs to make sure I know how Put Upon she is and gives me her Deluxe version of "Stink Eye"...




Someone take them batteries out of that Danged camera !!
Kuchi trying to get comfy here !!





And finally she is Convinced the Photo Session is over---
And that means just one more click of the Camera !!

So off the the Land of Nod...

Wishing you All a Safe and Cozy night !!

Respite & Recuperation...

We have been slogging forward...
 
HH-Bless her Heart- brought me these from her Garden...

Wheelbarrowing Gravel....




Shoveling Gravel...




Raking said Gravel level to within a 1/4" of its life...



 We decieded we is Tired...


Lavender from a Friends Wedding Last Weekend...


Plus Mr. Weather-Person moved those spinning round Red wind/Low/Heat graphics Thingys over our heads and it has been in the higher 80's to one day of 101 degrees...

Gah!!



Now is when the Payt-Tio needs to be all Done and ready for Relaxation and Tall glasses Clinking with Ice and Sweet Tea...



All carpentry/Construction stuf is completed (ish) for now.
But now the Kiln-dried, but still Damp wood has to 'Cure' (now I want Bacon)...
Then it can be painted...

In a Couple of Weeks !!

I do have some paint choices half-way decided up for Consideration...


Geranium Leaf

New Green

Pepper Grass

Sparkling Green

 The lighter greens Above would be for the Decking/Floor...


Pine Scent

 This Darker Green would be for the Rails around the banisters and hopefully will Match Existing trim...


Bicycle Yellow

Buttercup

Daffodil

One of these 3 Yellows will be to Re-Paint the house wall that unfortunately got Pressure Washed to remove the Moss but in this process Took off great chunks of Paint !! ...and thus looks even More Ramshackle and Disreputable that it already did...



 Newly Purchased Arrivals/Decorative  items have Arrivaled...

No...
The Above is NOT a Radioactive Sea Anemone !!



Does this Help ?
Begins with a P _ _ _ _ Ws



 And this Stripey Beaut arrived in Semi-Smallish pieces and will be revealed in Complete 'Tweaked' Loveliness After the Painting is done Di-Re-Deckly !!

I Know--- Its hard to be Patient-
But I Have to Wait for my Delayed Gratification as well !!

And Now---

Kitthehs !!!

Alice...  Ignoring me

Kuchi sitting Exactly where Alice was...

Rolling in the Gravel... Rolling in the Gravel... Dee De Dah Deeee...


Thinking very Strongly of that glass of Sweet Tea... and Maybe a nice Bacon Lettuce Tomato & Mayo sandwich !!

~* Did You See That Bunny ? *~

...Tis getting that Springish feeling here Today...

Woot !?!

Sun is shining. Breeze is blowing. My teeth aren't chattering...

And Looks like the tide of Lovely Flowers is beginning to wash over...
Well They are Silk... so they washed in from Thrift stores and Yard Sales in various sizes of plastic sacks actually !! For I am from the 1960's school of- If it is pretty, colorful, makes me Happy, and just needs a swift dusting every now and then--- BooWhaaaa !!! It is All Good !!



So a few photos of my Patio getting Springified with Shirley aiding and abetting in creating our displays.
Please squint and imagine the chairs on the patio as they will be recovered in a cheery print--- in the next couple of days.

A bit of Whimsy and curly paper and Bunny tales on the Kitchen Queen.
And then my Babby-Boo-Babalyon.. Supervising from her perch on the dining room table..

And now we are off to get our eggs ready for Deviling... Then tomorrow- Lemon Pepper Chicken. Spinach Scalloped Potatoes. And if I keep my sanity... a teeny Pineapple upside down cake...
Or-
A pretty fork and eat that pineapple straight out of the can !!

Happy Easter Y'all !!
