♥ “Now the noisy winds are still..." I HOPE!!!


Our cute local weather man is saying that warmer weather is headed our way.   Since he is cute, I will believe him.  ,-)  And even throw-caution-to-the-winds and picture Victorian Trading Co. items, bringing to mind....  A growing season.
 
I know, this is very brave or rash of me.  You choose...  Brave or Rash.  But even I, who isn't a great gardener, am ready to get outside and do something, concerning yard work.





 
Awwwwwww look!  Little glass Lady Bugs, to scatter around one's home...  Aren't they the cutest?!?  Except...  When one has a nearly 2 year old, who visits, from next door ~~~  Little glass Lady Bugs might NOT be a good idea...  To scatter around one's home...  Giving sweet ambiance...

I fear Gabe might try to eat them.....





Oh those fancy Wellingtons!!!  Enough to make any woman long to be a Gardener!!!  :-)






For the end of a gutter spout!!!  Cute.  Cute.  Cute.

Oh my!  What a lot of nothing and nonsense, I am posting today!  And I don't seem to be the only blogger, without many brilliant words to say.  -grin-  






Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrety place to plant prrrrrrrrrety flowers!!!

Not being the only blogger, without many brilliant words to say...  -grin-   Is a good thing!!!!  I can still have the audacity to post, even without much to say.  LOL... 







Not a play house.  A bird house!!!
A neighbor told us that there is a big old turtle, which wanders around, on the paths/roads not far from here.  ~~~  I want the winds to quit.  So we can go walking, and try to find him.  She says he keeps wandering out on the road, and he has to be pushed back into the woods, to keep him safe.  ,-)

Well, after reading this post and seeing all the cute things you found, I'll be going to the Victorian Trading Co. directly. I love the whimsy of a drain spout decoration and that birdhouse is darling. Are we the only two posting today and so you make fun of us? Ha!

I love the little squirrel. Now I miss my yard.

We're going up to 77 on Monday. Unbelievable for my first day of vacation. Can't wait to do a little shopping.

I love the ladybugs! I had great fun looking at your "nonsense" post today.

love those lady bugs, and you are right, not for people with little ones. the first shot, the glass toad stools, someone gave me round ones like those to put in the planter to water with out having to. could not get them to work, so boxed them up and gave them away, but these look pretty

Those ladybugs are so adorable but you're right, having such tiny things around the house when you often have a 2 year old come over, isn't a good idea. When Lily was 2 years old, she found a bead and managed to get it stuck right up her nose!!

It was very windy over here as well but today it's gorgeous out although still a bit cool. We had warmer temps in March! lol By 9 this morning I was already walking in a bush trail to look for a cache:-) I think you and your family would really enjoy geocaching, there are some very easy ones to find where you don't have to do any climbing or much walking. I'm working on a post about geocaching so stay tuned:-)

I'll have to take a picture of the rubber boots I bought myself recently...thought of them when I saw the boots you posted on here!!

Not fair...that bird house is nicer than my house! hehe They do indeed have delightful items in the Victorian Trading Co. magazine:-) xoxo

Love that April quote by Mary Mapes Dodge. I'm sure I'm not the only one that loves your 'nonsense'. Hee Hee! I have already starting to work out in the garden, and it's so lovely to be out there again, and see all the blossom appearing and signs of new life.
