What a great day!
The clouds finally broke up, the sun came out, and the air temperature rose enough to allow me to get outside and get some work done.
I have to take a trip to the greenhouse tomorrow for another flat of flowers to fill the last two window boxes.
The weeding will never be completely done...but at least I got a lot of it worked on today.
The gardens here are so informal.
Everything grows where it wants...instead of where it should.
That's the fun of cottage gardening for me.
There's always a surprise popping up around a corner.
The inside of my house is the same....very informal.
Not much planning.
Pieces just sit where they fit sometimes.....well....not really, but close.
That's what's fun about living in an old cottage.....you can decorate "outside of the box".
I'm sure there are a few items that the Mister wishes really were OUTSIDE!! Old window sashes, and doors, etc.
I'm hoping for another good day tomorrow. Lots more gardening to do.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Debbie

ReplyDeleteOh Debbie I love your seltzer bottle and your wine stoppers, especially the crown one with the bling. Plus your collection of antique linens are gorgeous, I too collect them.

ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday.

Oh yes, the weeding is always there. I've got the boxes and pots planted here. The rest comes up year after year, but there is always the weeding and also the thinning out as some things try to take over. We have a row of Rose of Sharon bushes along the fence and so many babies have popped up from them, I've been pulling them like weeds. I saw in the garden center these bushes were selling for 30 dollars and here I am having to throw them away. Hope you have a sunny Sunday. It's cloudy and supposed to rain here.
ReplyDeleteSo nice you can get out and enjoy the warmer weather. It is still back and forth here... snow one day, and 50 degree temps the next!
ReplyDeleteI love your "out of the box" decorating ~ and it's always a delight to be invited in to visit you in your home. :)
Have a lovely Sunday,

ReplyDeleteDebbie, I think we should decorate to suit ourselves, always. We are the ones living in it. I love your linens. Great bottle stoppers. :):) Do you still grow the hollyhocks? I always thought your roses and hollyhocks were the best. Hope you are having fun gardening. Love you girl, Susie

I think cottage style gardens are the best! Informal, loose and a bit wild:) Love your decorating style too, Debbie! Have fun planting and digging in the dirt:)
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious to see your garden. Your items are so beautiful and shabby chic...i love your pictures.

Spring is such a wonderful time of the year! I like your attitude towards gardening, and your home, informal, and what makes you happy is indeed best :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're keeping busy! We have been doing quite a bit of weeding as well. Yesterday we weeded a patch of garden space where we want to plant watermelons. Your home decor always looks beautiful to me!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by Debbie...I'm doing good but really didn't think it would take this long to start feeling like myself but I'm grateful for still being here:)
ReplyDeleteI'm used to having my flowers all bought and planted by now. Hope you had another good day to play in your garden!
