Tea Cups in the Garden

• Jul. 24, 2008 - Homeschool Room Remodel and Hurricane Dolly

We are awaiting much needed rain from Dolly, who hit the Texas coast at noon yesterday. We have the clouds and 1/4" of rain. Oh please let it rain, Lord!

One nice thing Dolly has brought us are cooler temperatures. DH came home and after dinner he went to the garage to work on the wall unit.

There is a file cabinet in the making....

Here is the tricky part...making sure all the measurements are correct.

DH and I have an awful time creating from scratch. Usually something goes wrong and it doesn't work. We are much better at reading someone else's directions (as long as they are well written LOL) and following them. We are approaching the moment of truth here...will everything come together???

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
