Oh so busy!!! and its suppose to be my summer vacation!!

I have been so busy trying to get my little projects done on my days off. Yes I took a summer job and I love it! I am working in a floral shop using my god given creativity. I finally started painting the garage and finally finished one side of it today and started on one end of the garage.

Now just 3 sides to go, a fence to stain and a front porch to paint. I got my work cut out for me, sometimes I so wish I was magical!
My flower gardens are in bloom the lily's are about 2 weeks ahead of schedule man I hope that doesn't mean another long winter!

Just beautiful! It is such a joy to see what is blooming and waiting for my eyes to be amazed by such beautiful colors and works of wonderment.

July? Really?

How can it be July? I am not ready for it to be . Why does summer have to go so fast?                         
I really wish I had magical powers I would use them to slow down summer, change people back to the way they used to be before they decided to be too good for you or others in their lives, to change people who pretty much crap on their friends. Why do people have to be so rude to others, or pull things away from them that they worked so hard on? What the hell has happened to mankind we have become so self centered, fast paced, and walk all over those that are not like them. 
I am vowing to not become one of them!! I am gonna do my best to make time for friends, family and me! Yes, I know I have commented on this time and time again but it bothers me so much that it hurts. When you have a friend that does it to you, you will know why I need to vent about this. This blog is a way for me to get it off my chest and you don't have to read it if you are bothered by it. For some people it takes more than hearing it, they need to see it also!! I believe in Karma and am gonna live by it also, so just remember what comes around , goes around or what goes around comes around.
 We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate. 
I would gladly let you walk in my shoes for a day! I am thankful to those that do care and those that do know what a struggle it is. I am also  thankful for the ability to release that stress through the love of gardening. If you do not know what it is to garden you are missing out on so much. There is no greater joy and feeling of accomplishment than the joy of seeing your work in bloom and the surprise in seeing what each day will reward you with! Just a few pictures of my rewards

and a few pictures of items created for my miniature garden!

Publish, Publish, Publish!!! 6-29-2014

I must remember to publish and not hit the save button, geez!!! I had things in drafts that should of been published, I have lost it!!
Almost another inch of rain last night that puts my records of rain up to 13 inches for the month of June. 
Had a fun time last night celebrating Larry's 60th Birthday, was a good tim of fun and food.
I have a couple projects for today, one of them I have been wanting to do since jackass Bob....... aka squirrel tore up my fairy garden is to turn the whole wagon into a miniature garden. I have been searching ideas and will be making a lot of my own accessories. My way of saving money and being thrifty.Yes, I know they are called fairy gardens but when you need to be thrifty you use what you already have. So I decided to go through the Easter decorations and I found all the gardener bunnies I had and am going to be using those in my mini garden. I have also searched pinterest and I have many ideas for creations to create! I will be posting pictures, so stay tuned for more to come and remember to be real, contact someone who you have not been in touch with and make them smile!! This is my original fairy garden!

Friends, Fun and rain!

Here it is almost the end of June, where has the month went? It has been a strange month in more ways then one. Besides work, I have done little of anything else. The rain is getting old, it keeps me confined to the inside. Not my choice. I did get to spend a lovely evening with some dear friends celebrating a special lady's birthday. I am grateful to have them in my life and Thank them for allowing me to be a part of theirs.

Tonight I get to help another friend celebrate a 60th birthday. I am looking forward to getting out of the house and spending time with friends. I am sure it will be a night of fun and laughter. Really hoping the rain will go around us and leave us alone, I have wrote down over 12 inches of rain for the month, UGH!
 With rain also comes those damn mosquito's, not looking forward to them. Every chance I had I was dumping out any standing water I could find in my yard. 
I am hoping July will be a better month weather wise, a more productive summer chore get it done month, spending more time with people who truly care for one another, and doing more things for myself!!

Be Real................ 6-27-2014

  Do you ever look at someone and wonder what the hell has happened to them?  The older I get  and more aware I am of my surroundings I have learned to observe and absorb the smaller things. People have become so eager to be better then each other. The desire to impress, show wealth and flaunt who they want to be makes me sad! There is nothing I hate more in life is someone who can be so fake.
  People need to be more like flowers! I have also said they need to be more like animals!  Quit competing to be someone you are not and be yourself. I see so many families and even friends try and out do each other.
  What happened to being and enjoying yourself? Why does everyone need to be in such a hurry? Why do they think they need to be involved in so many things just to look good in the eyes of others?Why are we so quick to judge? Why do people feel the need throw each other to the curb so quickly?
  I wish people were like flowers and animals. They know how to be real!
