~♥ lovin' this weather! ♥~

Yesterday was one of those "perfect" weather dayz! In the 70's with a breeze & blue skies & lotsa sunshine! Thank God for each day! A sweet morning glory nodding in the breeze... been going thru some of my photos from last year... {have not had hubby load any new ones lately, I can not get the hang of it! so let him do it} This is by the garden & the sky was a beautiful blue with our rusty find from his uncles' barn... love. the star design!

The lil' wrens love being around this sweet birdhouse, they are soo cute!

Everything this year has really dried up early! Put out some fall things already & have lotsa yard work to do, cutting everything back...

Been enjoying the windows open & coolness! Hubby loves it, too! I have to put on socks & fleece & more blankies, than him... but am soo loving having the windows open!

Have a wonderful thursday m'friends! Hope you make the time to do something you love!

Hugs & blessings, Humble ♥

~Hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day week*end~

We have finally had some cooler weather! The temps have not been so bad, but the humidity has been awful... as has been around many places this year. The air conditioner got a break for a while, hopefully a long while! Love. having the windows open & feeling the breeze & hearing the birds ...

Have a great Labor day & hope you had a wonderful week*end... & did not have to work soo hard as Owen did in this pic! Ha... ha...

Still enjoying my flowers... & hope to for a little while longer... before they are gone... seems like alot of things have just dried up soo fast this last week, like everything knows it is time to sleep til next year. Take time to enjoy these gorgeous days!

Hugs & blessings, humble♥

~♥ SWEET GLASS CABINET/CUPBOARD ♥~

I KNOW SOME OF YOU WILL *GASP* ON WHY? O? WHY? DID I PAINT THIS???

YEP, IT WAS A COOL CABINET THE WAY IT WAS... BUT BELIEVE ME! NOT AS COOL AS IT APPEARS! MY NEW LIL' GRAND*DAUGHTER ADDIE'S ROOM IS BRIGHT PINKS & BROWNS... IT LOOKS TOTALLY CUTE !!! THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WOULDA BEEN PERFECT FOR THAT!

BUT I PAINTED THIS BEFORE I EVEN KNEW I WAS HAVING A PRINCESS GRAND*DAUGHTER! AND THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING & WOULDA BEEN PROBABLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH PAINT CHIPS! {HUBBY ALWAYS SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT... TO ME YOU WOULD HAVE TO EAT ALOT OF CUPBOARDS... I WOULD THINK, HA.HA.} THE PINKISH COLOR WAS NOT REALLY A PINK... MORE OF AN ORANGEY COLOR WHICH I LOVE, BUT NOT FOR THIS SPOT I WANTED A CABINET FOR. IT WAS ALSO VARNISHED IN SOME AREAS & SOME IT WAS SHINEY LAQUERED LOOK... SO IT WAS NOT AS REALLY "COOL" AS IT MAY APPEAR... {SERIOUS} COZ I LOVE, CHIPPY, WORN & NOT SOO GOOD CONDITION STUFF!!! I LOVED. THE SIZE OF IT, ALL THE GLASS KNOBS, LIL' DRAWERS & SHELVES & GLASS DOORS... TOOO SWEET ♥

I AM MORE OF A PRIMITIVE TYPE, RUSTIC ~ DARK COLORED FURNITURE LOOK GAL WITH A TOUCH OF BLING, ROMANCE, VINTAGE LOOK {DUNNO WHAT LOOK THAT COULD BE SHORTENED TO!} ... & I WAS LOOKING FOR A PIECE TO GO IN OUR BEDROOM. SINCE I REPAINTED & GOT RID OF ALL THE AMERICANA IN THERE & WENT MORE VINTAGE. THE CABINET IS SOO CUTE & THE PAINT COVERED UP THE VARNISHED AREAS WHERE I SANDED... BUT SOME SPOTS ARE STILL LUMPY, WHICH TO ME ARE JUST FINE! SO ADORE "NOTSO PERFECT!"

WILL WRITE & SHOW MORE PICS OF THE BEDROOM & OTHER FURNITURE I HAVE PAINTED SOME TIME SOON...

HUGS & BLESSINGS, HUMBLE ♥

~♥ MISS YOU... WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU..~♥

Ruger {aka Rugie} was sucha good dog~! His name was a combination of the German part of his breed & the gun {pistol} ... since he was sucha onery puppy! He was soo big...weighed 120 lbs... & was gorgeous. A constant companion of ours. We walked many, many miles together... we walked many times a day & almost everyday all kinds of weather. One time we figured it to be over 9,000 plus miles... that is alot of footwork!
As he got older, he loved "his" couch more than walks...but would get up & go out for our shorter walks as he could not move as good as he once did.

Ruger loved lil' Otis... we were afraid he may not like the lil' one... but they had a good time together & he would let Otis get the best of him at times. Otis really misses him, too. & Bill really had a tuff time, since he seemed to baby on him more.

It is still hard to go to the basement & on walks... alot of memories! You keep expecting to see him on his couch. They {our fur angels} are like another member of the family! Our 4* legged children! Our pets rescue us many times, are always there for us.

Ruger would have been 12 years old. ... so for a big dawg ... he had a good & happy life & is in a better place where there is no pain.

It doesn't mean we do not miss him ~ we will always miss him & love him always! Even tho he has been gone for 5 months, I still cry writing this... thought mebbe writing this it would be easier now, than before... that is not so...

Thank*U Rugie for leaving your pawprints on our hearts... love you & miss you!
