Suspense

My next post won't be for a week, but I wanted to leave you in suspense.
I am making my sister's wedding cake this weekend and am looking forward to posting pictures of it for you to see.
It is my most ambitious project, so we will see how it turns out!
Have a great week!

Home Sweet Home... or where ever

Well, I am back home for a few days. Just long enough to make a mess and clean it up before I leave again!
I've been out on the Farm for a few weeks and have been enjoying the company of my in-laws.
The forth of July was awesome! My parents, sister and soon to be brother came down. I've really missed my family so it made the weekend extra special!
My hubby did an AMAZING job on the fireworks (no lost limbs!)They were beautiful!

Any way, I figure I owe you a few pictures since I've been gone so long.

This is my new job. I am the fence painter. I have to scrape and paint a good size fence around the farm house (I am maybe a quater of the way done)


This is a picture of Rowdy the kitty... And his pet toad.

And this is what I wake up to each morning. I've been very blessed and I am reminded so daily.

Long Time No Blog

Well hello there!
I am sorry I have not posted for a while. I'm back at home now and have been attempting to be productive. I am finding this a challenge because I am a little under the weather (the doctor says I have bronchitis and a sinus infection).
ANYWAY...
My family is coming down to visit for the 4th of July, which means I must get my house clean.
I have completed a total of 1.5 rooms so far and I have until Friday to finish the rest (OH BOY)
My one complete room is the guest room, which funny enough, will be the only room that will not have guests staying in it! But I am proud of it anyway!



I also managed to get all of our boxes down to the basement FINALLY! (After posting this I realized I should probably mention that I do not intend on leaving this room like this. Eventually it will get done! Hehe)


Last but CERTAINLY not least, I got all of our movies and books but away.


So that was my day today (along with some coughing and some laundry).
Tomorrow: more laundry, clean bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and dining room. Also pack.
Friday: Jungle lawn.

On the farm

I've temporarily relocated to my in-laws' farm for the time being. I may or may not keep posting. I suppose we will see what happens.

Back!

It has been a while since I have posted. I was gone to my in-laws' for a week then off to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's graduations. But I am home now.
I thought you'd like to see what I came home to. Below is a couple pictures of the jungle in the backyard. I also came home to a couple of beautifully flowering trees. (Pictures also below)
I've been preparing decorations for a baby shower cake this morning and this afternoon I plan on getting some more yard work done. I'll post some pictures of my newest endevors later on!

Sticks and snow may break my bones, but they can also kill my garden!

This week has been a bust. It's been snowing since Monday night, which put a damper on my week's plans. Below are pictures on my snowy yard and the tree branches that have fallen off the neighbour's tree and onto my tulips.
I've been working on some quilts and some accessories for a couple of outfits I've made for some if my cousins' babies. See them below too!

Correction...

So... ignore my last post...
The lawn tulips are in fact lawn tulips, they just look different for some reason.
I do have lilies! My Grandmother-in-law came over today and figured out what is in my lawn. She said that she thought she saw 3 types of lilies, poppies, a current bush and a few other things! I will need to be very careful when mowing because they are in strange places.
I accomplished a few things this morning, I fixed our gate so it opens and closes all the way (making moving the lawn mower into the yard A LOT easier!) and I started a rock path leading from the back yard to the front so that it is a little more level for walking on.
I only have 3 rocks/bricks in place but everything is planned out and prepped so it will not be hard from here.
I also started getting ready for my next project, a landing into our back yard from the steps of our house. The ground is quite uneven right now and I am concerned that someone will trip. There is also an oddly placed bush in the way, so I will be moving that as well!
Photos below are of my progress and my planning.
