Making something out of ...

So you think all the time, "I could do that", "I could make that". Yep you probably could but the question is "Would you?" 

Well we did. I'm so proud and happy with the work Tarry has done at Lilypad. He built the headboard for the bed out of pine boards and painted it my favorite color. I love it :) He also made the frame for the beach print on the wall out of trim from an old house. He is so creative and yet particular about every detail and outcome. I give him grief all the time about saving old things, but it sure worked out for the better this time. Even the night stand was reclaimed. 

What A Day!

What do you want to do when the cold weather changes to warmer sunnier days? I can hardly wait to go to the nursery and get some flowers. I know that I'm still a little bit early, but I can't help myself. The colors and the smells as soon as you walk in are just so beautiful. It's crazy how much they have here.

So today I talked Tarry into going to get a ceramic pot to make a fountain for Lilypad. They had so many pots it would blow your mind. All colors and shapes and sizes....and prices as well.

This guy just cracked me up. He is just my speed but not big enough for what we needed.

I spotted these guys from the car! Giant whirly-gigs! Loved these as a child and still do.

These tulips are so cool. Right along the drive when you pull in, and such a cool, cool color. I've never seen this color before. I might have to go back and get some of these.

What a great day. After getting on the road this morning and driving to New Carlisle, then to Urbana to get some Mumford chips :) and finally out to Tarry's folks to visit outside of St.Paris. Finally back home at 5:30. Wow, just wow

First Time

First visitors to Lilypad last weekend. They seemed to have a great time. Fortunately, they had a beautiful sunny weekend and were able to enjoy the outdoors. Grilling, fishing etc etc...all the things we think of for summer. And it's only April! Love it. And here we are this weekend with another beautiful sunny day :)

Just a good idea to keep an eye on the weather and check that calendar for a great weekend :)
