Happy First Day of Summer!

Well it's the longest day of the year. Hubby and I celebrated in style. We went to the Farmer's Market, hung out in the backyard, grilled steak, ate strawberry shortcake and went for a long bike ride. It was a great day.

We are back from Little Nashville, IN with the three monst- oops, no, I mean CUTE dogs. It was very trying on the first day. The second day went better, but Alison was very homesick and I was sick for her to be home... We had a good time, but we will not be taking them in the future. You can bet on that! LOL. They had to go everywhere with us, because they would not be quiet in the hotel room. They went shopping in Nashville and they went with us Antique shopping. That was quite a sight, two of them in the stroller and one in a shopping cart. Photos to come, as dear hubby did not pack the digital. I know I couldn't believe it either... What's a wife to do?

We purchased so great thing and I'll get those pics. ASAP.

P.S. The picture at the top of this post is an old post card I scanned. Please help yourself to the image if you wish.

Our Weather Men, Yikes!

Well, it was suppose to be 70 and overcast yesterday and it was cool and drizzly. We still bought tons of flowers. Then we had high hopes for today, garden and boating. Today was suppose to be ..... 78 and sunny. Yes, it was sunny, but windy, cool and just not very pleasant to be out and about. And I do mean windy. In the last two days, we've purchased 4 flats of flowers, impatients, salvia in red and purple and a mix of other annuals. Also 4 tomato plants, and pepper plants. A rose bush, and 16 perennial plants. (Zone 5 hardy.) Last but not least, my husband wanted a grape vine. How cute is that? We have the beds prepped and ready to go. Most of the perennials are in. Yeah, despite the weater. Ugh, I can't find our pic.

Craft, and Gift site

Well I was on some one's blog and I keep reading about seasonal bunting. I wasn't sure what they meant by bunting. I'd call it a banner or swag, but there is a difference. We see bunting all the time at car dealerships advertising new or used cars. The string with the triangle for lack of a better description. Well in my search to learn about bunting, I found this really nice site. It's full of inspiration and great gifts. Here's the site I really like. It gave me some great ideas, it's called Olde Glory .
I promised pictures of our new bikes, but our digital camera's batteries went bye, bye. I'll have to purchase new ones and post the pictures latter. I really like my new bike. I feel like a kid.
