Beat the Heat

While you are enjoying all of this hot summer weather, don't forget to protect your herbs. Water them in the morning and never spray the leaves of your outdoor plants during the hottest part of the day. Deep water herbs at least once a week, and be sure to pinch the stems of any herbs that are starting to bolt. This will help extend the useful life of annuals for a couple of weeks.If you are

The Cast

She got a Cast

It's official, she is now the first child in my family to have broken a bone.

I LOVE my Preserve Toothbrush

First, I'm not a total recycling person, even though I wish I was. There's not excuse for me not being one either, except I just haven't focused on doing it.

~* Happy Belated July 4th *~

Dear blogging friends...I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted anything. I don't know where the time has gone and I do apologize for not being around as much.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th. We had some friends over to watch fireworks. We live on a hill and have a wonderful view of some local fireworks (Idlewild Park and Rolling Rock Country Club). My dear friend Josie brought me this sweet flag box that I just love! Thank you so much Josie!

We recently changed our front porch furniture. Our other furniture was nice, but was too small for the size of the porch. We got this furniture at Home Depot and I just love it...wish all of you could come over and enjoy it with me...I can see us sitting there enjoying lemonade, cookies and chatting about our families and our recent yard sale/thrifting finds.

Thanks so much for the comments that were left for me on my last post...I appreciate each and every one of you!
