...it's okay...

WHAT a fickle Day! - sunny one minute, then the sky darkens, and rumbles and it just begins to pour with little warning ~ but that's okay...
...last night we worked, and worked on the gardens and have them prepared for just such a 'downpour' - and hopefully a growth spurt!! (and I finally put those pool sticks to good use!!)

...and how can I be down when I got to witness a FLOWER on our new Angel's Trumpet plant last night?!!


Plus, it was a good excuse to stay in and bake a mulberry/rhubarb pie this morning - YUM!!

Then, find a home for a 'new-to-me' toy from Brother #2, which he brought to me when he came out for the garage sale a couple of weeks ago. It was another rescue from the infamous 'dumpsters' last winter. It was too large for them to bring at Xmas when they came, but they were able to fit it this time!! This great old Arts & Craft China Cabinet is going to be a wonderful new home to my collection of 'girlie trinkets' (ie: compacts, purse hooks, hatpins, lipstick stands, etc..., etc...). It fits in the location of my old 3-shelf Barrister bookcase like a glove - but will hold WAY MORE STUFF - always a good thing!!!!!
Here are the contents of just ONE of the shelves (I couldn't even get it all in just one photo!!) from the Barrister that I will be able to 'redo' in the 'new & improved' space 8-) !!




...and now as I glance out my window


I see the sun is shining again - at least for a few minutes, and it looks MUCH too nice to be sitting at this computer...

Hope you are having a WONDERFUL day, however you are spending your time!!

That cabinet is gorgeous. Oh, that dumpster, I think about that dumpster too. Sigh.

Love all your Girlie Girl things!

I am in complete awe of anyone who can bake a mulberry/rhubarb pie from scratch. And further in awe of all those compacts. You are AWE-some!!!
