SOLD! On my way to my new life in IOWA!
If all goes according to plans I will be closing and driving all my belongings to Iowa on Sept. 27, 2012!
Am I excited? YES YES YES
The home and termite inspections are being done today and I do not expect any surprises...yipeee!
I will be living with my family and friends from my home town that I left when I was 19 years of age.
A complete circle?!
I will then change the name of this blog and maybe keep it up to snuff?
Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My New Roof!
The storms that hit here in May? did enough damage to warrant a new roof...thanks goodness for homeowner's insurance! The guys started this morning with no warning they woke me at 6:00 am!
I am happy!!!
That is shade cloth on my window. I have hung it on all my windows because it keeps the house cooler. I will be making awnings for the shade cloth after the roof is finished. I think I am going to use cattle panels?

Flora...
You should be able to tell that the Iris is one of my favorite flowers! Here is another pretty bloom from the flora at my back door! Isn't she beautiful?!
I love this white clematis that climbs a fence post around my old garden...
The Weigela is also one of my favorite bushes. It grows fast and flowers all summer with enough moisture. A great privacy bush!
This is a Japanese Maple that I planted when it was just a stick. I actually bought it for $.50 at Walmart one last summer. I am taking cuttings for my watercolor buddies!

I tried posting a picture of the Weigela and the weather is making it impossible to upload a photo at this time...later babeeeeeee!
Got it downloaded!

Iris in bloom!
My iris are starting to bloom and I normally don't cut them but...since I am painting now...they make great models!
My favorites are the old fashion lilacs...they smell of lick-a-maid! If you grew up in the 50's you know what I am talking about? Pixie Stix! The aroma just fills the entire room and is a very nice smell that takes me back to some great memories of my childhood.
Oh, we had a visitor that came inside with the flowers...wonder what type of spider this little guy is? He will have a home inside until the buds all die off...then out he will go to continue his life elsewhere!

It was a "bird watching" weekend!
With all the rain over the weekend I didn't get out much!
But the birds were happy I was home refilling the feeders!
Male and female Baltimore Orioles!
I did manage to get small watercolor painting done but I am not happy with the results. Oh well...try, try again...
I also baked a few loaves of bread this past week and mowed the always growing 2" overnight grass!
I need a new roof and so had a couple of young men come over and take a look and they will be calling me about the bid soon!
I am going on "holiday" on May 22nd and back on June 7th! I am visiting my nephey and his family in Los Carlos, CA; my cousin, Susan, in Sacremento and my son and his family along with long time friends in Denver, CO. Oh, did I say that I will be celebrating the big "60" birthday?! Yikes...can't believe I have been around that many years! I certainly hope everyone is going to spoil me while I am visiting...Ha!
Happy Day!
