A Home For My Key Picture

I have finally taken the time to hang my key project picture...it now has a home on the beadboard between my kitchen cabinets and countertop.

Right now we are in the middle of having new windows and cement board siding installed, so decorating is not a priority...cleaning up is! Once this is done then there are no more major remodeling projects...at least I don't think so.

I'm not sure where she got it from, but I do remember her spending time removing the old paint only to discover the beauty that lay beneath! The chair is kind of small and a little wobbly, but I love it just the way it is. I often wonder who the chair belonged to before my dear Mom owned it and what they did while sitting in the chair...I hope they know that it is loved!

Bluejays

Attracting birds to my gardens has been one of my goals. Most birds are beneficial in the garden and while some can be pests, they are easily controlled. I was shocked when a fellow gardener referred to grackles as junk birds! As gardeners, we are stewarts of the land so there should be no such thing as junk critters. Some are pests and some are beneficial but all serve a purpose. I took this
