| Waiting for Spring |
It seems like we haven't done anything FUN since the holidays....well not much anyway!
School is almost too busy....
One day seems to blend into the next....
It is a whole month until we go to Mexico on vacation....and I haven't gotten serious about getting into shape for swimsuits!
Enough complaining already! That really isn't Sweetwater Style!
They "ain't" big WOWS...but they are "good things"!
It is ONLY a month until we go to Mexico! And this will be the view we wake up to!
The cheapo Home Depot Orchid that I bought a year ago is blooming for the third time!
I guess this little guy really likes the south facing windows on Sweetwater!
The little miniature rose plant I bought in January is still blooming....and since I have been fertilizing it....it has lots of new growth and I think it will last until I can plant it outside.....wish me luck!
These great looking tulips were a thank you from a friend for something that really didn't need a thank-you.....and I was able to add a few of the last of my Valentine blooms to make this great looking arrangement. A real reminder of Spring to Come!
The message board on my desk is a reminder that I do have some fun events to look forward to! And a gift certificate to the SPA that I need to use....And a reminder of how well my daughter's new law practice is doing!
I found this great looking fabric on the last trip to the fabric store....and in less than an hour....it is a bright spot on the living room couch!
I bought this metal pomegranate at the thrift store....it will always make me laugh when I think of how I stood there debating about whether to spend the $5 to buy it....I really liked it....I didn't know what I would use it for.....should I "splurge"? For heaven's sake....I had just spent more on a glass of wine at lunch without batting an eye! And NOW I will have this to add to the decor for years to come....can't say that about that glass of wine!!!!
I guess this is in keeping with my challenge to "Use What I Have 2012"!
I used what I HAVE.....to cure my mid-winter funk!
I would challenge YOU to do the same!
That Mexican view is AWESOME and I love Home Depot orchids. I bought a spray bottle that I use instead of watering I spray water at the roots. They seem to love it. I am returning your follow and looking forward to more visits.
