A Few Garden-y Things

I’m actually okay and able to move after all my cleaning yesterday!  How I loved waking up to a clean, quiet house this morning.

I walked through the garden before I started my work day.  The sun was very bright.

Mary over at Across the Pond was writing about urns yesterday.  I was not sure I had one, but I thought I had an old one, broken, used in two different pieces in the garden. 

You can see one of the urn handles.  The top portion of the urn is being used for a planter.  This may not have been a true urn since the base was not hollow, but it had the shape of an urn when in one piece.

The urn base, flipped upsidedown, holds a small mosaic butterfly/insect bath.

Looking at my flowers, longing to stay outside, but I have to go in and work.

Fluffy came around to greet me and meow a good morning.  :)

The garden was, thankfully, full of butterflies this morning.  I think the butterfly above is a pearl crescent, but maybe someone who knows for sure will come along and confirm.

And I’m pretty sure this is an Eastern tailed blue.  So sweet!

Well, back to work…

    Hi Lynn!

    I love walking through your gardens each day with you! They’re looking lovely as usual!

    What a blessing you are to your family! A beautiful home, and CLEAN, wonderful food and you’re always up on your appearance!

    I played “Lynn at Salvation Army” yesterday… I found a nice little bird feeder and something you recommended a while back… “Prentice Hall Literature”… for .66 cents. It has a great glossary in the back and I plan to use it for unschooling Tommie. I mean if we can teach onamotpeia in 1st grade with FIAR, I think I can tweek other parts of literature as well… just by using the glossary for now.

    Happy Saturday-
    Michele

    Hi, Michele! Thank you for stopping by. You’ve made me smile this morning. I love all kinds of books, and sometimes just a portion of a book — as you point out — is a great resource. Good find!

    I am typing today, but just taking a little break to check up on my blog and put a few new things on.

    Happy Saturday,
    Lynn
