need your vote

the "multi-person (you could fit 4 people on here!) whichever way the sun is shining pallet tanning bed lawnchair" is almost finished!!!!! i need to get some cushions for it (it was comfortable the other night watching the stars for 15 or 20 minutes, but this afternoon tanning for a couple hours, my butt was saying "i need a pillow!!!!" !!!!!



i absolutely love this thing!!!!!! now i just need to paint it.

i was thinking that i really liked the red chairs i saw online.


but then i really like white adirondack chairs, but the white might be too bright in the sun.


for some reason turquoise is sticking in my head!!! and i don't really super like turquoise - it's ok, it's my birthstone, so i guess i like it!!! i also thought lime green!! there are so many choices!!!!

maybe i could do multi or rainbow colored?!?!!

so i need your vote!

1. red
2. white
3. turquoise
4. lime green
5. some other color _____________________

what color would YOU choose?

(it might depend on what color the cushions are though!!!)

geronimo likes it too!!!!


i'm going to sell the 4 light blue plastic adirondack chairs -- i bought them 2 years ago for $16.97 each at lowes -- i'll sell all 4 for $20, as is....let me know if you're interested! (local only)

look what a friend brought me!!!!!

i DID have to cook him dinner, but it was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!


look at all that rusty goodness!!!!


and he said, "let me know when you need more 'cuz there's lots more where this came from"!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i've got a bunch of projects in mind!!!!
i love having friends who are ranchers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes!!!

bluebonnet portraits

some friends from church came over this morning so i took their pictures in the bluebonnets. there aren't as many bluebonnets as there were last year. last year you couldn't walk in the backyard without walking on bluebonnets. i miss not having as many, but it's much easier to navigate back there & there sure are a lot less weeds than there was last year!!! i don't miss those at all!!!



the little girls always want popsicles when they come over. i had just enough -- even one for geronimo!!!! he kept looking at the girls with that "hey, where's mine?" look!!!! don't know if popsicles are bad for dogs or not, but they can't be any worse than all the other stuff he's already eaten!!!!!


here's geronimo wanting to "shake" with hannah!!!

after the popsicles, he showed them how he "swims" in his tub!!! they got a real kick outta that!!!!

he really is a good dog!

"vignette"

note: this post is not a put down to any bloggers who create "vignettes" or post about them or change their wall decor every other day or decorate their mantle for every holiday or change it just because it's thursday. i admire you. i wish i had your creativity! this is just a post about boring old me!


i'm not one for creating "vignettes". lots of bloggers create vignettes just so they'll have something to post.

not me.

kim at savvy southern style wrote a whole post on how to create a vignette.

lots of bloggers change their wall decor or mantles just so they'll have something to post.

not me.

i often think i should change up my walls or mantle, but then i think, "if i took 'that' down, where would i put it? what would i put in its place?" "how many holes would i have in my walls if i moved stuff all around all the time?" "but i like 'that'. how could i put it away? i want to see it!"

(but i do realize that sometimes you get so used to seeing something in the same place that after awhile you don't "see it" anymore. so it might be a good thing to change stuff up every once in awhile!)

lots of bloggers decorate for every season.

not me.

i guess i'm pretty boring.

or i don't like change.

or maybe i just have things the way i want them.

(wish i could do that with every part of my life!!!!)

BUT today i have a "vignette"!!!!

i've always wanted one of these coke crates. but they're pretty pricey. but i got one given to me for FREE!!!! it came with a little metal wagon (which i'm gonna put outside in the flowerbed) from a friend at church. she was tired of it & thought i would like it. ummmmmmmm, yes!!!!

so i made a "vignette" on my dining room table!!!

and i can take a picture of it from every angle, just like those "vignette makers"!!!!

now it's got me lookin' at the things on the wall.................look out!!!!!

linking up to savvy southern style, wow us wednesdays
