So many Daffodils!

Ok, this doesn't convey the full daffodil scope. This is maybe 1/3 of the daffodils left to plant. Not counting the ones I already did. All in all they covered a F250 long truck bed. All of it. Do you know how many daffodils that is? It's a lot is all I can say. Roger's grandparents have ...

Alabama Studio Style by Natalie Chanin

Roger and I escaped to the bookstore one of these freezing cold days. After all, that's how we met - our mutual love for books and warmth! We take turns watching the little guy run wild over the Thomas the Train table. I brought a stack of the newest sewing books back to sit down ...

Spring Planting has started!

My helper transplanting tomatoes and artichokes. I've already planted my seeds left over from last year. An entire flat of Brandywine tomatoes...mmm! I always have more Brandywines than anything else. They are the perfect tomato. I think it's going to take a little more cleaning than that. But he's got the right idea! Now for the brand ...

Bikes and Soccer

Edwin and Heather and poor, poor Edwin Senior. It's very hard work being a Pop sometimes. Edwin being extracted forcibly from the bike. Bryan up a tree. A new (Bryan's old horse). Great fun! Oh, soccer... Run, run, run1 He has the ball... Still has the ball... Eventually they did get another ball.

Chairish the Future Gala!

This table set had been made into a marble maze. It attracted all the kids! Fantastic band! More art chairs up for auction! The room was completely packed later, so ...

Snow Day!

I know snow isn't a big deal right now. My aunt in Maryland said it was covering her back door last week. I lived outside Boston where snow covered the ground and the slushy gray stuff was everywhere all winter. I even walked to the train station in it - yep, miles and miles and ...

Chairish the Future Final

Quite a change! Roger cut a new seat for it (the old one was cracked) and I put a plump cushion underneath the silk twill. So it's not just an art chair but a useful one! I could see this for an occasional dining room chair. Just to look at against the wall most of the ...
