Make Your own Bird Feeders

19 Jan

Hello again friends! The weather is cold and the trees are barren. We are in those winter months where warm soups are king and I find myself longing for longer days where I leave the doors open, work in the yard and enjoy blooming flowers and green grass.

Here’s a few photos from my daughter and her fiancé’s engagement party.

My wonderful friend, Cindy, gave her talents for the florals.  All of the flowers came from Trader Joe’s!

Congratulations to Mary & Daniel!
Thank you to all of our friends and family who came out to celebrate them.

Happy Monday! My oak leaf hydrangea are really sho Happy Monday!
My oak leaf hydrangea are really showing out this year.  I have always loved hydrangea, but I truly think these are my favorite. They rarely droop in the hot Georgia afternoons like the traditional mopheads and have those gorgeous blooms.
Love them!

Here’s my sweet little rabbit that I made a few years ago surrounded by fresh Spring flowers in the Dining Room.
If you’d like to make your own bunny before your Easter gathering, it takes only minutes for little money. Instructions are on the blog!
Happy Easter!

I read an article from @southernlivingmag that sai I read an article from @southernlivingmag that said you should keep your Christmas tree(s) up until January 6th if you go by the 12 days of Christmas.
January 6th is known as Epiphany and is celebrated as the day the Three Wise Men came to visit Jesus. 

Just another wonderful reason to keep my trees up a little longer! 
(BTW…I didn’t post the 9 other trees in my home…maybe next year!)

I really love this sign. It isn’t perfect, but I remember how happy I was when I made it and how happy I am every time I see it!

Several years ago, our wooden shutters started rot Several years ago, our wooden shutters started rotting and were literally falling off of our house.
I started researching shutters and the cost….yipes!  Then, I began saving money to buy them (and dreaming of my house being whole again). 
So…I finally had the money saved in early 2021.  I placed my custom order from a wonderful company, Exterior Solutions.  The shutters were delivered in June…and there they sat on a pallet under my carport. And sat.  I honestly was just too busy to even try to find someone to install them. 
Last week, my husband made arrangements for them to be installed—oh, happy day!
What a difference!
Now, to start on updating the landscaping!  To be continued…

Your cool, crisp mornings.  The bright flames of colors showing in the tree tops.  Apple cinnamon everything. 

Such a beautiful day and a day that reminds of me of all I have to be thankful for!

My neighbor had a pile of dead poppies in her yard that she was throwing out.  That was free decor for Fall!

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday evening!

I had soooo much going on this past week that I posted my great reveal and then forgot to link it to the ORC Blog! 
Completing a room transformation in 8 weeks sounded easy…but it wasn’t.  I refreshed my son’s room and I think he is very happy with the results. 
I hope you’ll visit the Mulch and Paint blog to see the before and after photos. Small changes made a big difference!
