Mushrooms, Work and Today's Flowers

Invasion of the Mushrooms. For more Today's Flowers click on the banner to the right bottom of my page, guess I didn't get the memo about Christmas Decorations...

After a glorious week of warm weather, it is now, cold, windy and damp! Wonder what the weather for Christmas will be like?

Today......

Okay, I already told you that I was soooo tired last night, wanna know why? I have spent entirely too much time inside! I do not do very well if I do not spent time outdoors. Today I worked around my little new potting shed some. Started with some border grass, some is Aztec and some is Liriope, don't really know the difference other than the Aztec has white flowers and the Liriope has purple....any comments on that?

Planted some Petunias, Pineapple Sage on one back corner, planted some seeds........I know it still looks dreadful, that will soon change, I promise. The little porch is so needy and I bought some more stenciling brushes to stencil the front after Christmas.

You can see the red brick castle wall, the fruit trees and then you get to the potting shed. To the left of the potting shed where all of the little chairs are is our fire pit.

This brick walk is in front of our front porch, hubby ask me today if I would like one in front of the potting shed.............Heck yes!! Go back and look at the first pic, don't you think a walkway like this would be a great addition? Tell the truth. There is still a LOT of work to be done............having fun with it though, even if I only do a little at a time. You know the pinched nerves on both sides of my neck and the "tendonitis" they think I have in my elbow will slow you down a little. Will find out in January why my elbow doesn't work the way God intended.....can't have surgery on my neck until summer, the girls need to be out of school because I will not be able to drive for 2 1/2 weeks...Not complaining by any means, just explaining why I'm not moving as fast as usual....God is Good!!

Getting Close To Christmas......

No photos, just letting you know that I am sooooooooooooo tired! Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, cleaning and being Merry will wear a girl down......have a great night!

Wordless Wednesday

No Longer Frustrated....

I did get a good nights sleep and someone apparently prayed as well. Thank you wherever you are. I did have some frustrating moments yesterday, glad I didn't vent because I would have put words out there that I could not have taken back and would have gotten in the Lord's way. That would not have been good! In the whole scheme of things, I have a very blessed life, healthy happy family and my husband "still" has a great job. I am learning sometimes it's better to be silent, turn it over to a higher power and give Thanks in ALL things.

(remember I said, learning, have not completely learned)
