Happy May Day!

Happy May Day, my loves!

Sunday.

I love Sunday.

It's one of my seven favorite days of the week.

*wink*

I took a little tour of my backyard on this 1st day of May.

To celebrate new beginnings

and the promise of spring.

What better way to celebrate nature?

 

Lagerfeld roses.

My wedding bouquet was filled with them.

Double Delight roses.

They seem to glow in the sunlight.

Romeo & Juliet roses.

Ron's favorite.

They have the most beautiful scent.

I must say this is quite possibly

my favorite color.

Our Sago Palm reminds me of the days of dinosaurs.

Queen Elizabeth roses floating in a simple white bowl.

In honor of the royal wedding.

I hope you find time to enjoy nature today.

As you know, it's good for the soul.

The boys are away for a few hours.

They went paint balling, as I mentioned Friday.

So all's quiet on this western front.

As for me,

I'm on my way out back again.

It's time for a little Vitamin D

with Dwight Yoakam singing in my ear.

Thank you for stopping by, dear ones.

You are very much like roses in my garden...

Much love!

Sunshine. Yellow. Happiness.

{yellow = happiness}

Ron brought me these yellow mums for our Easter gathering.

They have been keeping me company outside this week,

while I worked under a beautiful blue sky.

Those brilliant yellow mums

inspired me.

I took out my crochet hook,

my sunny yellow yarn,

and pretended to be Mother Nature.

I love my little fiber mum.

I'm going to make an armful of them

for a special project.

Yes, indeedy.

I have many, many new items in my shop.

Here are a sampling of some of the yellows.

Vibrant,

rich,

warm,

cool,

happiness for your neck.

The Palette Feather Lariat in sunshine yellow

The Palette Necklace in goldenrod

Daredevil Cowl. Detonator Yellow.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend, darling dears.

What are your plans?

Here we have a weekend ruled by the boy.

Saturday he has a buddy coming over.

Sunday the boy, his friend, and Ron are going paint balling.

You know what that means...

I have a chunk of time all to myself!

Yippee skippee!

Let's see what kind of mischief I can get into...

Thank you so much for visiting.

You're a (golden) ray of sunshine in my life...

Yesterday....

 .

I love the day after a big party or gathering at my home. 

The house is still so clean and just right. 

The outside too.  

It was exactly that way yesterday.  

We had everyone here for Easter on Sunday so everything was spic and span.

And yesterday, I took advantage of the stunning weather...

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day.

I couldn't resist.

I made the backyard my workspace.

The first day this year that I have spent my entire work day outside.

A true sign of spring.

I don't like to call it "work" because I love what I do.

But you know what I mean. *wink*

It was such a glorious (and surprisingly productive) block of time.

I highly recommend it, if it's at all possible for you.

Even if you can only manage a short amount of time.

The fresh air and open sky will inspire you.

I promise.

Very early yesterday morning,
I sat and sipped my coffee,
did some writing and reflecting,
and gazed at these beautiful flowers.
Sent to me for Easter by my dad.

How was your yesteday, lovely friends?
I hope you found happiness in your Monday.
Thank you for coming to see me.
Until next time...Much love!

Beauty Essentials...

.

Happy Monday, darling dears!

I haven't done a beauty essentials post in a long time.

I do have an excellent product to tell you about.

I've used it for a couple years now

and I absolutely love it.

The name of this item is a mouthful:

Olay Derma-Pod Anti-Aging Triple Response.

Phew!

You can find it here as well as your local drugstore, Target, etc.

This product is just fabulous.

These little pods are single use.

You get 24 in a box.

I use 3 per week.

They are like a little miracle pod!

The treatment reduces puffiness around the eye.

Immediately.

And definitely reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Basically, this product does what it says it'll do.

Which is refreshing, in itself, yes?

So you have my strong recommendation.

Excellent for women and men.

Pamper the sensitive area around your eyes.

And see an immediate difference.

This product is reasonably priced as well.

Plus, I feel it's never too early,

or too late,

to begin a good skincare program.

~

That's it for today, dear friends.

I hope you had a beautiful Easter weekend!

Thank you so much for taking time to drop by...
