This is a lot of work....Moma will you do it for a while?

Snowing in June????




Our unpredictable weather in the South.....Last Tuesday (yeah this posting is a little late), June 2, we had a hail storm with no warning. It was raining VERY hard, and the next thing we knew it was hailing....I mean hailing!!! It was about dime size, but a large amount of it. My mother and I went outside about 1 1/2 later to look around. In the shaded areas around the shrubs, you could STILL see the hail. My mother lives about 2 miles from us, and it did not hail at her house only rained a lot. You never know what the weather is going to do around here!!!

Later that evening, I was inspecting my garden. and the hail beat my tomato plants TOO DEATH!! I had broken limbs on the tomato and cucumber plants. Also, my day lilies and germaniums were beaten too. Hopefully, everything will survive! :)

Simple Things







The kiddos enjoying the simple things in life....sidewalk chalk and hanging out with each other.

Something Blue: MeMaw's China, Tiara, and Blue Willow

I decided to change my dining room table, and I dragged things out from all over the house to use. I have never use my MeMaw Smith's china or crystal. I only used one type of her stemware. I love anything blue.
I did not take a picture of the bottom of the china...sorry. Also, I used some of my Crown Tiara dishes.

This is a close-up of her crystal....do not know the pattern. Do you?


These crystal salt & pepper shakers are the only pieces of Waterford Crystal that I own. They were a wedding gift almost 13 years ago.



Like I mentioned before, I have things from all over the house.





The back view of the table.






Bird's eye view!







The famous blogland birds from Target. They flew in right at the perfect spot. :)
