So here are a few pictures of our yard. My friend Kathy commented on her blog about wanting to get some old time roses for her farm yard, and mentioned she'd never seen orange ones. Ours are almost done blooming, but you can see a few in amongst the yellow ones.
The pot below is one of two we have on either side of the garage door. Another sits on our deck outside the dining room. It was too cold to have them out until last weekend!
And here's our front porch, ready for the 4th of July. My poor banner is years old and fading fast, but I still love it.
And now I'm heading back to my sewing room to work on Ryan's boxers. I ran out of thread, so I had to go get some more. I wound up spending a fun hour trying on sandals at a local store and stopping by the grocery store to pick up a few things. When I got back home, I read Kathy's blog, and ended up writing this. Boy, talk about distracted!! Oh, and I didn't buy any sandals although I was sorely tempted!!
Thanks for posting these pictures. I enjoyed seeing your embellished home.
ReplyDeleteI had to turn on the air conditioner in the house today. The highest temp I saw was 91, tho the forecast was for 10 degrees lower. That was their story and they were sticking to it, but it was hot today.
I've been sewing, too -- making a doll.
40 degrees... wow! I think it hit 100 here here already at least once. Could we trade on and off? LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the nickname, "Jammy Grammy"! :)
Roses are gorgeous, one day I will plant some here!
I never would have known that those orange flowers are roses. My plant, tree, and berry identification skills are greatly lacking. Is the rocking chair Dan-made?
ReplyDeleteHallie, wish I had taken pictures when the orange ones were really in bloom. They are really pretty, and really thorny! Definitely roses. :-)(And my flora identification skills are sadly lacking, too. I just know things are "plants.")
ReplyDeleteNo, Dan didn't make the chair. We bought it in Eureka, California, probably twenty years ago when we were visiting Dan's Aunt Jess who lived in nearby Arcata. It folds up, which makes it very handy to have and made it very easy to bring home.
It was certainly handy to find such a great chair in fold-up form. We've found some furniture pieces (like a cedar porch swing at an art show) while on vacation that we would love to have had but it wasn't feasible to take it home -- or have it shipped.
