Welcome

I hope to share my little ups and downs though life in a small town with hopes and dreams of the country life. With that I have learned to bloom where you are planted.

Taking A Break

Yes, that's right! I going for some R & R. I will be spending most of my time here!

This is my girlfriend's pool and I'm going to turn into a floating permanent fixture. Yes, I will do a little eating, can't wait for my favorite restaurant! A little shopping, Canton comes to mind! But mainly kicking back and relaxing.

I "think" I will have Internet connection, so I will be checking in on my favorite blogs. You know I could have withdrawals from my blog addiction otherwise.

Enjoy the end of summer!

COMMUTE

What is your commute like for those of you that work outside the home? Do you dread getting in the car for you know the traffic jam that you may have to endure?

This is my slow down, traffic jam! Oh, I would so much like to follow one of these instead of being in this!



Or is your commute like mine, peaceful, beautiful scenery and country roads? Up and over the freeway I go, yeah, no exit or entrance ramps.

I sometimes get lost in my thoughts and almost miss what is going on in the fields on my commute.

Some mornings I get surprises like this as I travel early mornings to work. The sun was in the wrong spot for great picture taking but still had to have one out the window.

How about leaving work or should I say the parking lot. This is my usual traffic I have to wait for.

I swear they get younger and younger that drive these big tractors and this isn't as big as I see around here. Have I told you, I have a love affair with tractors? I especially love old tractors! Now what would a gal do in town with an old tractor? Drive it to get the mail, of course!

Wishing your commute is as lovely as mine and you are having a wonderful week.

Enjoy June

Catching My Behind

I am so far behind that I think I have lapped myself and catching up to behind. Is that possible? I was going to do this wonderful post of the Barn House Boy sale but my pictures stink! No other way to put it, so I'm linking to one of my favorite blogger who has wonderful pictures. So stop on by and check out what you missed.

Did I find any treasures you ask? Well of course!

First is, I don't know what, yep you heard me. It could be a planter even though I would have to line it. It could be an metal umbrella if I had a need for one. It does have a eye at the top for hanging so for now it is just out in the yard on a Sheppard's hook. Oh, please don't look at the weeds. I have to get out and get caught up on that also!


Now this old tractor seat just caught my eye. It's another, what am I going to do with it, but it spoke to my heart and childhood memories.


Can't you see this filled with flowers overflowing the tub? It was from a vendor, Faded Prairie all the way from Utah. She had the cutest covered wagon booth. Yes, another idea for a flower bed.

Sorry but no picture of my last purchase, but I do have great plans for it. So everyone including me will have to wait to see what the idea in my head turns out like. Hopefully before winter set in, ha-ha!

This past weekend was spent with granddaughters down at the coast. I volunteered to feed my brothers animals while they were out of town. How could I have forgot to take pictures of them feeding the horses, but I did. We visited the Pioneer Museum and the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Here is the only picture I took- bad Grammie!
They sure enjoyed see all the old stuff, as they called it

Ashely took this picture as we were visiting the cheese factory. Now wouldn't it be fun to travel in this converted old VW van. There are several of these loaf vans that travel around the US. Check it out if they visit your area and taste some yummy cheese.

I'm off before I get father behind!

Enjoy June
