A little outside, a little inside

Sure wish I had kept a journal beginning the first day of January 2018.

If nothing else, there would have been plenty of entries about our weather.

Remember the pretty spring-like weather in January and February; then winter returned in March and April with cold frosty mornings and even some snow; well now, here in the merry month of May, we're having hot, sticky, stormy July and August weather. Why, at this rate I probably need to go ahead and prop the yard rake against a tree.

meanwhile...back at the playhouse

Wanted to show you the little iron table and chairs we bought off Craigslist. Last Saturday, before the rain set in, we put the slats back on the chairs and thenPoppy painted them for me.

The two chairs are sturdy and very heavy. We got both for $20.00. The iron table, posted by someone else, was also $20.00. Poppy sat down in one of the chairs and asked if I would bring him a cup of tea. 

Want to show you a simple change I made in the house. 

The windows in our living are exactly the same as the windows in our bedroom; same number of windows, size, curtain rods and all. 

So I switched everything...

 How strange that I had these red valances, that look so much like the fabric on the chair in the living room, hanging in the bedroom

and had the gold curtains that match the bedspread in our bedroom, hanging in the living room. Duh!

   

Guess that's about it for now. The teeny tiny garden is growing, such as it is, and I will show you pictures soon. I have not yet built a little wattle fence for the bean vines. Neither have I planted as much as last year. Could I be slowing down in my old age? :)

I sure appreciate your friendship.

Love,

Henny
