I'm Enjoying.....

These days I am enjoying my flowers...

My new wildflower book that Carla found for me...

Remember Judy Blume from our younger days?  She has a new adult book out, I read it in just a couple of days, it's the best book I've read in a while, now I'm binge reading her other three novels..next one up is Smart Women.  I probably read it years ago, but I don't remember it...

I might be enjoying this drink outside, if I'm out there reading...it's so good...

When we go to the US, we love to see  a sandwich in a restaurant served with potato chips, you just don't see that much here, so sometimes we do that at home.  I found these Red & White Potato Chips at Dollarama, I have never seen these Covered Bridge brand chips there, hey, they're made in New Brunswick, I've been to their factory store in my travels!!  They're perfect for Canada Day or any day at all!!!

I'm still SMASHing but Pocket Letters are catching on.. this is one I made and sent to Washington.  This shows the front, backs are usually always decorated and goodies stuck in between the layers.

Today I received this one from Texas..  I love it!!

And, this I enjoy every day...my user name on there is mackaypj, just in case you want to stop by.  

Anything in particular that you've been enjoying lately?

Just Some Flowers

It's too hot to do much of anything here, the most ambitious thing I did today was cut the grass first thing this morning and take these pictures.    It's lucky they look as good as they do - it's getting pretty dry here, my rain barrel will soon be empty...

Beside an old stump is this one blueberry plant - if the heat ever dies down, I'll be out picking blueberries, just not from this little plant!!

Happy 4th of July to all my American readers!

We're Painting!

I've been on a spray painting kick lately - I bought galvanized pails at the dollar store, spray painted them black, the pink planter was purchased there too, it was green and it's plastic,  the paint really perked it up!   I also spray painted the little green chairs, they were black. Regular paint was out too, I painted the entire deck and also the little plant stand.

A couple of weeks ago I salvaged this retro red lawn chair, from the dump - I have NEVER brought anything home from there before, but I just had to rescue this chair - I spray painted it green!!  

This little birdbath had seen better days, the pedestal broke so my husband attached it to an old can and I spray painted it!!!

Nothing is safe at our place - everything here (except the picture) was spray painted to match our new cupboard handles.  What a saving that turned out to be - we have two light fixtures and two vents in the kitchen - that would have easily been $200-$300 to replace.

We have been working on a partial kitchen renovation for four months, finally, it's done!!   More painting!!!  

We made this corner shelf out of an extra door we had - my husband made the shelves, I did the painting and while I was at it, painted this kitchen shelf.

I wonder if there's anything else I can spray paint???

I'm linking up to Tell it to Me Tuesday - there's ideas galore over there....

It's Wednesday and that means Rednesday -it's great!
