19/365 The View in My Driveway

I never know what I am going to find when I get home. Today I just couldn't resist getting a picture. I have no idea what he was doing but he managed to get good and greasy and declares "it" is fixed.

18/365 My Handyman

We got a new fridge and it is much bigger than the old one. No Problem! My husband can fix anything and I am so grateful that he is able and willing even after a long day at work. You would think we would be downsizing but our family seems to be growing. I can't even imagine what it will be like when all the kids are married and have children. We are blessed beyond measure!

14/365 This is Florida?

My debit card has been getting a lot of use and it is not costing me anything. I guess up north they probably have something fancy for cleaning off the snow and ice but down here my debit card works just fine.

8/365 No cobwebs here!

It's been a long time since my fireplace has seen this much activity. This week starting a fire has been the first order of business when I get home everyday. It's not that the house is cold, or even that the fake fire logs put out that much heat. It's just the good feeling I get from having a fire going and sitting next to it with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. I have been known to turn the air conditioner on, or open the windows when it is chilly outside so I can have a fire in the fireplace. That has definitely not been necessary this week and for now I am really enjoying it.

Sunflowers

I have always loved Sunflowers, and my husband has given me arrangements of them before, but this one was special, because these are homegrown.

May Flowers

I absolutely love flowers in the Spring. The variety in shapes, sizes and colors always amazes me. We have wanted to enlarge our flower beds in the front for years since I never have enough room for all the flowers that catch my eye during our Home Depot visits. We finally got one part done this year and I am very pleased with the results.

Empty Nest

My baby birds flew the nest today. Actually, they flew from the nest into the house and we had to catch them and take them back out. It may sound silly but I feel sad. I loved to hear them chirping in the morning when I went in the kitchen to get my coffee. I wonder if they will stay around our house. I plan on leaving the nest right where it is so maybe I will get new baby birds next year. For now though, here are the last of the bird pictures.
