GardenTour - Wichita, KS - May28, 29, 2011

The garden tour this year was fun. My favorites:  The Porter street house and garden in Riverside.  Manageable for doggies and people.  I always did love Riverside. And..... the Socoro street house. WOW! I really liked this house and garden. It was lovely, cool, green and such a huge outdoor space that it felt rural. They have done a wonderful job over more than 20 years with their home and garden.  I loved the vegetable garden, the greenhouse - painter's shed and the little fishpond and well....everything about it.

Mother's Day has come and gone!

Hi - just remembered I put together a flower from my garden and an old vintage book I found recently before Mother's Day and forgot to post it.  In rememberance of my mother!  I miss her so!

Love this camera! and I love SPRING!

Chairs etc.

Well you can see I am back to my refinishing/painting furniture phase.  Two chairs.  Maple and $1 each.  Heirloom white spraypaint from Ace Hardware.  As you can see  - not quite finished.  But will be for sale on Saturday at the annual Newton Citywide garage sale. Aren't they cute?
