It was a day of sunshine and storms. No naps today. Hannah helped me rearrange the back porch this morning. It's all ready for summer; company, family picnics. or a simple solitary cup of coffee. My Darling and I even took our supper outside this evening.
This afternoon I picked a bouquet of peonies and potted a few plants. How about that old swan planter? Cool, huh?
I spent the morning attempting to organize scattered belongings in Mom's room. Glassware was moved from cardboard boxes to the glass library bookcase, books transferred to lower shelves, the table cleared and spread with a hand crocheted tablecloth from a friend in Canada who we call "Gramma Gail." It looks nice.
My plans for tomorrow have changed. My background checks haven't come back yet, so I will have another day at home. I wonder what kind of project I will find to do?
Merry Christmas!

Want to come over and get Josh off the bus? And then debrief my doctor's appointment afterward?
ReplyDeletePlaying with Jakie was the highlight of my day. Love how he calls me "Mammy."

Martha, I just really love the middle photo of the plants and flowers. The little pots and vases are so beautiful and the way you have arranged them on the table is just perfect.

Arranging planters is a fun game. ha ha! I have more than enough jade cuttings to go around. By the end of summer I'll be looking for homes for half of them.

You seem to have an eye for this. Perhaps you could come over and help me sometime. I want a beautiful porch...but I don't know how to get there. Also...everything I plant dies.
ReplyDeleteI have jade plants because they are hard to kill. Trust me, I'm good at killing plants.
