Visions of Carrots

While  Spring seems to be taking her sweet time getting here, Easter is coming whether I am ready or not.  And. I. am. not. ready.    My Easter bunnies are still nestled all snug in their beds while visions of carrots dance in their heads.

So there will be no Easter mantel this year.    I did however manage to pull together a small vignette for the open shelving in the kitchen using glitter houses I bought on clearance after Easter a couple of years ago.

The total look.

Have a Blessed Easter!

A Case of the Backyard Blues

While relaxing on the  sun porch this past weekend, I caught a glimpse of blue in the tree.

I grabbed my camera and was able to catch this bluebird in flight.

I like the contrast of the blue against the lime green.

Mr. Bluebird had to squeeze in through the small hole.     It was rather amusing to watch.

He stayed in there for a minute and then out he came.   I didn’t realize until  later that a waxwing photobombed the picture.  Do you see him in the upper left hand corner?

Thank you for visiting today!

Our Masked Visitors

Imagine my surprise when I looked out in the back yard and saw these little masked birds frolicking in the bird bath!   I believe they are waxwings and were just passing through the area when they spotted our luxurious accommodations.

Note the yellow tipped tail on this one that I caught in flight.

Looks like most of the guests have left the premises.

Until next time,  take care and please feed the birds and provide water for them.  You never know who might show up.

Shameful to Shabby

On my way into work last month, I spotted a bedside table  in the trash.    Since I was running late, I called my sweet hubby who hopped onto his white horse into his white truck and rescued the pathetic little thing.

After a good sanding and scraping, two coats of white paint, and a new drawer pull, the table has been revived and is ready for action in the bedroom.

I forgot to take a picture before we started sanding but let me tell you it wouldn’t have been a pretty one.   The table was covered with water stains and sticky tape and looked much worse than the picture below.  It truly was in a shameful state.

Thank you for stopping by to view my roadside rescue and makeover.
