Tomato & Avocado Salad

Howdy everyone! If you caught my stories yesterday

Howdy everyone! If you caught my stories yesterday, I had two new visitors to my yard. I had a baby Morning Dove and a Woodpecker. The Woodpecker was hanging out in the birdhouse above Woodys. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Woody because his red hair on his head wasn’t as full. Yes, I notice those weird things. I’ll be watching closely to see if he comes back.
🌿
Here’s a view of my living room. It’s funny how bigger it looks in pictures then it is in real life. You’ll notice some of the vignettes I have shared with you the past few weeks.
🌿
Looking at my living room, I’m still loving all the greenery. I’m not sure if I’ll make to many changes for summer. I really enjoy how it looks right now.
🌿
Do you change your decor for Instagram, even though you are happy with how it looks?

Hello! The weekend really flew by and It was a bus

Hello! The weekend really flew by and It was a busy one. We visited some friends up in the mountains on Saturday and then on Sunday we made canned dill pickles. That is what my husband wanted for Fathers Day.
🥒
If you followed my stories yesterday, you will know that the cucumbers in this photo are not grown from my garden. We searched high and low for pickling cucumbers and we finally found some Saturday. The garlic is also not from my garden, but I’m proud to say the dill and the tomatoes are from my garden.
🥒
When we were in the process of making the pickles, we didn’t have enough to fill the jars. We have a friend that told us about a vegetable stand near us that had them. My husband said let’s go! We bought 30 more cucumbers. We ended up make 11 jars of pickles. Now don’t ask where I’m going to store them? I have no idea.
🥒
The process was fun and I would love to can tomatoes, but I’m not sure where I could get a bunch for a decent price. I don’t know about you, but the prices at the Farmers Market are not cheap.
🥒
Have you ever canned anything? If so, what?

Howdy! Happy Thursday! Woohwee, it’s a hot one h

Howdy! Happy Thursday! Woohwee, it’s a hot one here! You know how I complain about the wind? Well we have had no wind and it’s a stagnant 95 degrees yesterday and 107 today. Now I want the wind. It’s so hot out. Oh my gosh, I’m melting, along with my plants.
🌸
But on the bright side I got this gorgeous new reversible pillow from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the print on it and I love the saying Home Sweet Home. I’m such a homebody that this pillow says it all to me.
🌸
The pillow is made of a canvas material and you can wash the pillow cover. I love that. The pillow also comes with the insert. The other side of the pillow is a beautiful dark steel gray color with a pretty cross-stitch pattern. Swipe the photo to see the pattern on the backside.
🌸
The pillow is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you can use my discount code for an additional 10% off: PBANDP.
🌸
What do you do to cool off in the hot weather?

Hello! Half way through the week. It’s going to

Hello! Half way through the week. It’s going to be a hot one, we’ll for the next 5 days. We were in the mid 60’s and 70’s last week and now we are going to be in the low 100’s. Ugh! It goes from one extreme to the next.
🌺
I decided to update my little bench corner by adding a pop of color for Summer. I kept this space minimal because Sampson lays there and the AC vent is under the bench.
🌺
Last week Sampson pushed his feet against the step stool and the blanket ladder starting to fall. I became Wonder Woman and rushed out of my seat and caught the ladder before it fell on my sweet Sammy. He’s like what Mom? Your disturbing my sleep. lol
🌺
The beautiful sign and letter board tray is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the vibrant little touches of color. So perfect for Summer.
🌺
The picket fence caddy with the flowers is from @antiquefarmhouse. It’s one of my favorite pieces to decorate. I love adding seasonal faux flowers to it.
🌺
Are you a Summer or Winter person?

Happy Tuesday! I want to give you a big thank you!

Happy Tuesday! I want to give you a big thank you! I reached 40k followers yesterday. That was a great start to the week. I haven’t moved my numbers since about November so I was so happy and surprised. So thank you so much! I wouldn’t be here without you. You inspire me everyday from your friendship, inspiration, comments, advice and so much more. Stay tuned for something big and fun coming.
🌿
Now who says you have to have dinner at the dining room or kitchen table? We always eat dinner at our kitchen bar. I think we’ve used our dining room table once in a year. It’s just easier, and more convenient for us. Plus I don’t want my husband to mess up my tablescapes. lol
🌿
I was inspired by my friend Susie @fromsusie to setup a little romantic table setting at my kitchen bar. My husband saw my table setting and said are you making a fancy dinner? I said no, we’re having hot dogs for dinner. That’s how we roll around here.
🌿
The tray, bowl with grapes in it, flowers, napkins, napkin rings and riser are all @fromsusie. I got most of these pieces in her Summer Decor Box. I have so much fun styling with her Decor Boxes. I’m already excited for the Fall box.
🌿
Oh and let me tell you Rosemary Crackers with Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar and grapes tastes so good together. You should pick them up on your next Trader Joe’s run. I think I’ve eaten this 3 times since Friday. I’m addicted.
🌿
Do you eat at the dining room or kitchen table?

Hello Friday! You guys are so good! I don’t know

Hello Friday! You guys are so good! I don’t know what I was thinking yesterday, calling a Thursday, Tuesday. Well I am just glad it’s Friday!
🌸
I found out here on IG that it’s National Gardening Week. I thought it would be fun to show you the transformation of my backyard going from pool to garden.
🌸
We had an above ground 30’x 16’ Doughboy pool partially in the ground and in October 2019, we decided to take out the pool. We never used it, and it was just too much maintenance. So my husband took it out himself and then I started my dream garden.
🌸
This yard has had a lot of transformation in a year and a half. Swipe the photos to see the changes. I was sad to see the pool go, but now I have my flowers and birds. It was so worth it for me.
🌸
It’s still a work in progress but my husband has done so much work, from removing a pool to building 3 garden beds and installing all those pavers. A piece of advice, if using pavers in the yard, try to complete the project at one time or in one season. In a year in a half we had to use 3 different pavers because they kept discontinuing the ones we used.
🌸
Thank you for joining me on my gardening journey. I enjoy working in the garden so much and I can’t wait to see how it changes next. Have the most beautiful weekend.

Happy Tuesday! My gosh guys, the wind has been so

Happy Tuesday! My gosh guys, the wind has been so insane here. Yesterday, the house shook that I thought we had an earthquake. Even the dogs woke up from there nap. This is just craziness. Anyway, enough about my complaining about the weather.
🌿
I thought it would be fun to put together a tiered tray. I haven’t done one in awhile. I bet your surprised that I stuck with my green and white gardening theme. lol I know your not.
🌿
The little signs on the tray are from my girl Brantley from @thesassyoak. I just love them. I thought they would be perfect for my tray.
🌿
The little plant at the bottom is a Baby Tears that I got in the small teacup from Trader Joe’s. That plant is in a 1” pot. I can’t believe it just keeps growing. I’ll replant it this weekend. Poor thing. I’m neglecting it.
🌿
The two ferns are from Target and the pots are all from Terrain. Such a fun and easy tray to put together. I’m just debating where I want to put my tray. I’m thinking on my console table.
🌿
My work station for my vignettes is my kitchen counter, then I shift my vignettes to another room. The kitchen has the best lighting.
🌿
Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Last week we had

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Last week we had temperatures in the 100’s and this week, we are lucky if we hit 70. It feels like Fall outside. However the ending of next week, we are back in the 100’s again. It’s such crazy weather. The worse part is the wind. Ugh!
💙
We have two new Doves that are visiting the feeder. I’m guessing they were born this spring, since they are thin and smaller then my regular doves. I did a vote in stories to ask you what we should name them. The doves names are now Penny and Leonard.
💙
I hope you all have a great day!!
💙
What is the weather like where you live?

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to finally share wit

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to finally share with you my coastal tablescape. I love it so much! When I walk into my dining room it makes me smile. My husband who doesn’t pay attention to my decor actually told me he loved it.
🐟
This would be so beautiful styled outside on the patio, especially if you have a pool or lake. The blue is my favorite shades of blue. It looks like the ocean or sky.
🐟
Today @krumpetshomedecor launched there “Go with the Flow” collection. Almost everything you see here is from Krumpets Home Decor.
🐟
The herringbone pattern, white washed chargers from Krumpets Home Decor are so fun to style with and will be used all year round. The little message in the bottles are just the cutest. I just can’t get enough of this table.
🐟
To see more of this collection be sure to check out @krumpetshomedecor. You can get an additional 10% off using my code: PB10. The link is in my bio.
🐟
What is your favorite summer color?
