Project Baby




We made it home from Florida! And as promised, I am here to reveal the project I have been working on for the past three months. If you are following me on Facebook, then you already know that I have been working on making a BABY! That's right! Mark and I are expecting a baby in November! And it is a BOY! :D We couldn't be any happier!





I feel like I haven't had much to blog about since we found out, because almost everything I have been doing has been baby related. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I will be posting more often. I'll do my best to not turn this blog into a baby blog, but while I'm pregnant, no promises!

The Happiest Place On Earth




Tomorrow we leave for Disney World and Universal Orlando. I'm seriously excited to go play at the happiest place on earth with Mark! Right now I'm packing for the trip, but I took a break to get a little post up before we go.


This week Mark painted my bathroom and I redecorated it. It's a totally new space!


Frilly new shower curtain.





I bought a print from the antique store across the street for a dollar and had it framed at Hobby Lobby. I think it turned out beautifully.


Angel With Soap Bubble And Straw (19th c.)



New willow basket for hand towels.


The new wall color is called Romance and is an HGTV color. I like the way it looks with the vintage foam green fixtures.


Ok, I didn't take the best shots of the wall color...you can see it, right?


So, that is my latest indoor project. Let's see what has been going on outside...


The lemon balm and monarda we planted last year are doing wonderfully. I want to add more herbs to fill this bed out this summer.


The herb garden. 


The honeysuckle bush bloomed this week. It kind of looks like Cousin It, but it smells heavenly! (and a family of cute bunnies live under it).



The honeysuckle bush.

These pictures...ugh. Anyway, I planted the lantana I wintered over next to the dianthus in the flower bed...but you can't really see them in this shot.

The flower bed.


The spring planters are looking good. We have had such a lovely, rainy, mild May and I haven't had to water anything yet!



Spring planters.


The hostas we planted in the shade garden last year are back and they look even healthier this year!

The tomato plants are in the ground now. We have a Gypsy and a Beefsteak given to us from Cynarra and a third volunteer that will be a surprise! I hope it's a cherry tomato!

The Gypsy.


That's the scoop, folks! I'm also really excited to announce the project I have been working on and will be doing that when we return from vacation! I can't wait to clue you in!

There Will Be Magic In May




The cauliflower are growing. Aren't they cute?






With all the rain we have had lately, I haven't had to do anything for them...I just planted them and am watching them grow!


May is such a lovely month...the weather is perfect and the Farmers Market is in full swing, people are back on the river fishing and kayaking and next Friday we leave for Florida! We are going to visit Disney World...




and Harry Potter's Wizarding World at Universal Orlando...




I'm really excited for this vacation because 1. I've never been to Florida. 2. I've never been to Disney World or Universal (I guess that was a given since I've never been to Florida)  and,  3. Mark and I always have a good time when we travel! 


I've got to keep this one short today, because I have tomato and lantana plants begging to be planted. I better get out there and get them in the ground while we have a break from the rain! What are you planting this month?
